[Pretty much solved] i3 - how can I run terminal application?

Hi everyone. I am newbie at tilling window managers, and I decided to give a try for i3.
Now I faced one problem and I cannot find a solution. for example, I want to run "yaourt-gui", which is terminal application. but when I run dmenu, I choose "yaourt-gui" and when I open it - nothing happens. I believe that i3 somehow uses different terminal which doesn't exist, despite I set terminal to be "terminology" in config file. (I can start terminal with shortcut without any problems.)
If you haven't got the idea - all I want when I run app from dmenu is to run it as terminal -e app, but not just app, which has no GUI.
any ideas?

You'll either need to type "terminology -e whatever" in dmenu, or hack dmenu to detect which programs need a terminal. Dmenu does not do this on it's own - it just runs what you tell it to.
There are instructions in the dmenu hacking thread to do exactly this.
The simplest way if it is only for this one program, just make a script or alias with the following:
terminology -e /usr/bin/whatever
Thanks. You are great.

How can i run Webdynpro application

How can i run Webdynpro application without using Developer Studio? Where should i put a whole project and how shoud i start it.
Thanks!
Maciek

Hi Maciej
You wouldnt require a Developer Studio to run you
application.But you would require it to deploy (if are
using the JDI ,atleast to perform an Activation).
However you can launch the application once deployed
through the Web Dynpro Content Administrator
http://<servername>:50000/webdynpro/welcome/
The deployed applications are present on the
lefthandside. They can be expanded to drill down to the
Application and the press Run

How can I run other application?

Hello everyone!
I have few questions, for example I use this to run other application:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C\\Program Files\\Opera\\Opera.exe");1. It works, but how can I run Opera.exe, when I don't know where was install Opera?
2. I want open URL, but I don't care what browser will be use. How do this?
p.s.
I hope, you will understand my English =)

In Windows, to open a URL in the default browser you simply use the START command, like this:START http://www.canadiantire.ca/Try that at the command line. You can use Runtime.exec() to do this, as has been discussed in several hundred earlier posts in this forum.

How can I run another application from my Form

Dear Gurus,
Can anybody tell how can I run a non oracle application from my Forms..
Can it be done thru DDE package..
If yes then how..??
Can it be done like Excel calling thru DDE package???
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Swati..

Keep in mind that HOST will execute where the runtime is located. This means for Forms 6.x and older, if the application is running as client/server, HOST will correctly execute on the client. If your application (Forms 6.x and newer) is run via a web browser, HOST will execute on the server and not the client machine.
Without knowing exactly which Forms version you are using and where you want the call to be executed it will be difficult to offer suggestions.

How can I run a application on a machine without JDK installed?

Hi all,
I'm new to java,I want to know if there's a way to run a application on a machine without JDK installed, I noticed that some server application such as Domino have CORBA applications running in background,how can I set up such environment without JDK installed?
Thanks.

I believe there are two basic ways you could go about this.
1) Install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on the machine in question.
2) Use JSP to make a server side app that interacts via browser on the local machine.

How can I run aqua applications on remote machine

Hi, I would like to know how to run an aqua application on a remote mac, but display the result on the local machine. I can easily do that for X applications under Unix through ssh, but I don't know what is the equivalent for aqua. Since the remote machine is much faster than my local one, I don't want to just mont the remote disk, since in this way I'll be running on my slow local resources.
Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, Screen Sharing is your only option.
Screen Sharing is Apple's dressed up VNC. When going Mac to Mac it is rather good. When mixing 3rd party VNC clients or servers with Apple's Screen Sharing components, you performance may vary.

How can i run external application without specifying the full path?

for example, ms word executable file is winword.exe, but in java i am using the following command:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\winword.exe\");
the thing is, i dont know where ms word is installed on every machine, so rather than making an assumption, do you know how i can run ms word without specifying the full path?
thanks

1) You could ask the user to tell you where it's at (and remember for next time)
2) You could do a file search for it (and remember it for next time)

How can I run other applications at the same time as downloading email

When I open my computer if I check mail on entourage first and there are 30+ messages I can not use other apps at the same time as the mail is downloading, is there a way to have email operating in the background. Curiously if I am using another application and a mail comes in , the first app runs with mail running in the background , Why is this not the case when Entourage is the first program running and it is downloading mail.

http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Entourage/ Alternatively, don't launch it at login, launch it after logging in.

Double click on them.
You could create Aliases and store them in a convenient place.
Drag the folder with the apps to your Dock and launch them from the folder on your Dock.
Make sure Spotlight indexes your external disk, then use Command-Space -> name of app -> return

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The simply answer probably is that you are running your system with insufficient user privileges and system restore or some security tools are blocking stuff/ erasing your install.

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

How can I run a SubVi in background when a sequence is running in the main VI

What I want to do is this
When I push a button on the main VI, a SubVI (#1) must run and take data.
At the same time, a sequence, in which there are other subVIs must run.
My problem is that the subVI #1 does not run when I push the button. The sequence is running well. How can I run both the sequence and the subVI at the simultaneously?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Hugo,
Sounds like you'll just want to do some parallel loops. I'll attach a screenshot of a VI that has a sequence where the counter goes up to 3, then restarts, each time it reads the iteration count from the subVI above. (The subVI is just a while loop with the iteration count attached to the global)
Each iteration of the sequence shows an increased count from the subVI via a global variable.
Is this what you are looking for?
Keep in mind that I just threw this together to show functionality, its got a lot of rough edges to it.
