Printing a control panel at a specific time of day automatically
I would like to be able to print out a control panel at a set time each day. I know that I can connect the print data member of the panel to another object. What should that object be?
Thanks
Try the "Time-Of-Day" object. Its parameters are on/off, Offset time, duration time and format (all parameters are “yellow” fields except format, which means you can use other object data members). On/off lets you disable the timer, offset time is when in the day to activate the timer (i.e. 17:00:00 for 5:00 PM), duration time is how long to pulse the timer (to tickle a panel to print you would only need 00:00.1) and anything would do for format if you don't intend to display the timer (00:00:00 would be appropriate if you display the timer). Connect the Time-of-day object implicit data member to the panel object writable print data member and you are done. When the offset time is the current time the time-of-day object pulses and the panel prints. Be aware that the area of the panel that prints is based on the Height and Width parameter values, not the position on the screen (the X and Y data members override the parameters if connected). There is more info on timers and panels in the on-line help.

Print & Fax control panel takes 1 MINUTE to open, delays app launching too
Hi everyone,
This one is driving me nuts. The Print & Fax control panel takes around a minute to open even after deleting all printers. Application launching is delayed for a similar period (if the app accesses printer info on startup I presume). Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips or suggestions gratefully received...
~ RodneyJust documenting this in case any one else out there arrives at this thread with the same issue....
Some progress. Deleting all printers, resetting the printing system and running disk repair didn't do the trick. However downloading Printer Therapy (http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/pt6/) has assisted. After restart there is still a 1 minute delay launching many applications (presumably while they try to connect to print system) but whereas this happened for every launch before, now it only happens for the first application launch. If I manually start the cupsd daemon this appears to take 1 min to start. After this everything is fine. My working theory is the issue is somehow related to cupsd. Does anyone know whether this process is normally started the first time an application connects to the printer (even though, in this case, I have no printers defined at all).
I have no idea why cupsd is taking so long to startup, I have reset the cupsd preferences (using printer therapy) and permissions, deleted all temp files etc. Any additional suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.

uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@
For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site? -

i am having hp 4500 g510h printer, in control panel display it is showing "redial in 0" if we press it will show busy in the display panel.
This question was solved.
View Solution.This was quite a pain to solve, and as my client's printer was out of warranty HP telephone support wanted at least $20 to even try to fix it.
Anyway, I was able to fix it myself by hard resetting the printer:
1) unplug the power cord
2) hold buttons '#' and '6' as you plug it back on
3) while still holding, power on the printer
4) after a few seconds, it will show semi NVM reset or something like that, and start the factory default setup (pick language, align cartridges, etc.)
You should be able to access printer functions again as usual after that. -
Scheduling specific time of day for automatic software updates
How can one schedule a specific time of day (i.e. between 11:01 pm to 5.59 am when I have unlimited download availability) for an iMac to search for automatic software updates? System preferences only offer frequency, but no time option. If it is possible to schedule a specific time, will invoking the feature override the sleep function, wake up the machine and perform the software update and then let the machine go back to "sleep?" Thank you for all your help.
to clarify barney's suggestion, the following terminal command will download all available updates and put them in your Downloads folder.
softwareupdate -d --all
so what you need to do is this.
1. turn off automatic software update in software update system preferences.
2. make a cron or a launch daemon to run the above terminal command periodically at the time of your choosing. to make a launch daemon I recommend using lingon http://tuppis.com/lingon/
The daemon will only run if the computer is not asleep at the scheduled time so you might want to set to to wake/start shortly before that. this is done in system preferences->energy saver->schedule.
to install the updates once they are downloaded double-click on the pkg files and follow the instructions. -
Render at a Specific Time Every Day
Is there a way to have a specific Final Cut Pro project to render automatically at a specific time every day?
I work at a CG house, and shots are updated at random intervals, but are always in a fixed, specific location. So by rendering out the project everyday we would always have an up to date complete edit. And by automating it it could be rendered off hours and be ready first thing in the morning for review.Or page 548 of Volume III, if you're on Final Cut Pro 5 (FCStudio 1).
'Main Menu/Final Cut Pro/User Preferences/General tab'
FCS2 may allow specific time of day, but FCS1 simply lets you set a period of time (while the program is open, but idle). So set it for 2 hours, leave FCP open when your last editor leaves the office.
This also offers several choices on which sequences you actually want to 'auto-render'.

Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?
Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?
No. If you use Automatic Updates, the apps update when the updates are available. Read this for a little more information.

Is there a specific time of day that the BTO iMacs become available for pickup?
As I am sure many people can relate to, I find myself hitting the refresh screen on my Apple order page awaiting the arrive of a built-to-order 27" iMac (3.4 GHz/ 32GB memory/ 3TB fusion/ 680MX graphics). Question for people with an inside scoop.... do the custom macs arrive a specific time of day (many retailers have scheduled deliveries at specic times during the day). The reason I ask is because if my Mac is only going to become "available for pick-up" in the morning, I will know that after... let's say 10am.. there is no reason for me to keep checking because I will know it won't be showing up on this specific business day, if it hasn't already. Any insight on how this works? Thanks fellow Apple fans!
Goodness gracious.... Not even 5 minutes after I replied to you, my item became available for pickup! It's like they were listening in! haha !

Start a process at a specific time of day
Is there any kind of a time mechanism that will allow a process to be started at a specific time each day?
There is not a scheduling mechanism native to LC/ADEP. A valid approach would be to use a cron job or WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to start a batch file that calls a Java class that uses the LC Java API to invoke the short-lived process.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html

HP Officejet Printer 6835 control panel not working
Am trying to set up my new printer (HP Officejet 6835 All-In-One) but the control panel is not working. Followed directions, plugged it in and turned it on but control panel is black. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty printer? Tried turning it off and unplugging with no results. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi @colljerr,
I do not suspect you are doing anything wrong. Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
If you have the printer connected to a wall outlet and the issue persists, I suggest calling us. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

Allow RDS Logon during Specific time of day
Is there a way that we restrict Logon to our Terminal Server so that users can only Logon between specific times...?
We are using windows Server 2008 R2
for example between 8AM and 6PMYou could set up a scheduled task to enable drain mode on the server which will prevent new logons (but not reconnections), This task woud set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\TSServerDrainMode to 2. No new sessions
could be started but disconnected users could reconnect. Admins ca still connect by running
mstsc /admin. Then you would need another scheduled task to disable drain mode, by settinge the above key back to 0.

Expire all local cache entries at specific time of day
Hi,
We have a need for expiring all local cache entries at specific time(s) of the day (all days, like a crontab).
Is it possible thru Coherence config ?
Thanx,Hi,
AFAIK there is no out of the box solution but certainly you can use Coherence API along with quartz to develop a simple class that can be triggered to remove all the entries from the cache at certain time. You can also define your custom cache factory configuration and an example is available here http://sites.google.com/site/miscellaneouscomponents/Home/time-service-for-oracle-coherence
Hope this helps!

Quit an Application at a specific time each day.
I know how to do something as simple as Quiting an application with AS, but what if I want to run it at say 7pm everyday. Not using iCal.
Any Ideas?You can use the unix-side launchd application to trigger execution of an application at a specific time. In your case you'd want it to launch an AppleScript that tells your other app to quit.
Programming launchd to do this is easy with an app like Lingon (http://lingon.sourceforge.net/), which provides a gui to set schedules in launchd.
I use to run two applescripts every 30 seconds and a third one once an hour. Works a treat... and it's free.

How do I schedule a task at a specific time of day, every day?
I am trying to use Timer and TimerTask to schedule an event at specific time of the day. It will basically stop all the logging archive the log file and start a new logfile.
I am just having trouble with scheduling it for every day at specific time (I am new to java and have not worked with date and time much). If someone can point me to some sample code or show me a brief example I would really appreciate it. I am about to pull my hair.
Thanks in advance!!!hi
I assume you use the swing class. As you suggest, to schedule an event you have to use a timer. The delay of the timer can easy be calculated using GregorianCalendar objects. Create one for the current date/time by instantiating an object. Create a second and set the date to the next schedule date/time. Retrieve the milliseconds from both objects and calculate the differences.
best regards

Doing something at a specific time of day
Hi all,
Basically what I am doing is an alarm clock, to wake me up to some MP3s. It all works fine.
My only concern is the following:
private Thread tTimeCheck = new Thread() {
public void run () {
while (true) {
cal = new GregorianCalendar();
int hour24 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int min = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
if (hour24 == JSelectHour.getValeur() && min == JSelectMinute.getValeur()) {
playMusic = true;
} else {
playMusic = false;
try {
t.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
};Is it unefficient to check every second, to see if the time of day is equal to the set time on the alarm clock? It seems to me that there has to be a better way to do this.Thank you for your reply.
This is my thread that plays the music.
while (true) {
if (playMusic && jpnl.getAlarmStatus() == 1) {
testPlay("C:/Documents and Settings/Seb/Desktop/Music/01-nirvana-smells.like.teen.spirit.mp3"); //hardcoded for now
}testPlay is executed the the entire song plays before the next iteration.
Next step: I'll look to put this in the taskbar (windows tray / whatever it's called), never done that before =)
Thanks,
