Problem with up-arrow on a long command line

I often use the "terminal" window to open up a connection (via ssh) to linux and unix boxes.
While I'm logged into the remote computer and I try to edit a previous command, I notice that my
display gets all fouled up if the command that I'm trying edit is very long. I'm unable to do the
usual unix tricks of up-arrowing to the command and then backspacing through it to perform my edits. Often my only recourse is to retype the entire command which is a pain and prone to error.
I'm using bash as my Mac shell and tcsh on the remote machines.
Has anybody experienced this? Any hints?

It's a visual-only problem with Terminal.app.
Other than the cosmetic effect, you will find that the editing works as you expect - you might just have to be psychic with regards to telling how far to backspace and where/when to make your edits.
The problem has been there for a long time. You might have better luck setting the terminal to a different emulation (Terminal -> Preferences -> Declare terminal as:) to see if one of the other emulations work for you, or use a different terminal application such as iTerm

Numerical Characters Formatting Problem With XML Report Output Run From Command Line

Hi,
Problem description is:
When a BI Publisher concurrent job is submitted as a child job of a PL/SQL type concurrent request, the locale in OPP is not set same as of RTF template selected. This results in number format and date format localization not work as expected. For example, when BI Publisher child job is submitted after attaching RTF template (through fnd_request.add_layout API) having language-territory as de-DE, the number format on PDF output comes out as 9,999.00 instead of 9.999,00.
Points to notice:
1. In OPP log we noticed that xslt._XDOLOCALE always has value EN-GB irrespective of language-territory of attached RTF template
2. NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER column in fnd_concurrent_request table has no value for BI Publisher job. We can set it up through fnd_request.set_options API but it is not a desired solution. We need that OPP should automatically choose correct number format depending on locale of selected RTF template
3. When same child BI Publisher job's output is re-processed through "XML Publisher Report" program and de-DE locale is chosen for RTF template then the number format localization works fine.
Please help us to understand root cause of this issue and how it can be resolved.
Thanks!

Problem with program hanging randomly on certain commands from win 7 pro client to SB Server

Having a problem with program hanging randomly on certain commands from Win-7 Pro Client to SB Server Both 64-Bit
Five other slower XP-Pro 32 Bit systems though they are older and slower systems do not seem to hang as readily if at all.
It has been very frustrating as the Client-System, SB-Server and Program should work w/o any hitches, but this seems to work fine @ times and then hang randomly.
Would appreciate any and all suggestions in assisting.... JimBAgde-MSS

You can try this, as I have had similar problems with another MS Access .MDB file and slow access before. This fixed my problem for me. On the slow computer, make sure the program is set to see the .mdb file via UNC path, not a mapped drive letter. ex.
USE: \\yourserver\shared\dental\file.mdb
DO NOT: S:\\shared\dental\file.mdb
hope this helps

Bash: wrapping long command line [SOLVED]

I'm trying to configure my bash to wrap long command lines. I am looking for a behaviour similar to tcsh where, at the border of the window, the command is continued on the next line. In bash, the command continues at the begining of the same lines wich is messy. I tried using
set horizontal-scroll-mode on
in my ~/.inputrc but the continuation doesn't start at the windows border. I can post screenshots if that would help.
Thanks.

putting the line in .bashrc have no effect.
Here is my .bashrc
export EDITOR=emacs
export PAGER=less
export LESS="-f -r"
export BROWSER=firefox
PS1='[33[01;34m]#[33[00m] 33[01;31m]u@H[33[00m]33[01;39m] w $33[00m] '
# create an xauth key for root user
umask 377
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth extract /tmp/user.xauth $DISPLAY
umask 022
#set horizontal-scroll-mode on
source ~/.aliases
my .bash_profile
. $HOME/.bashrc
my .inputrc
"e[A": history-search-backward
"e[B": history-search-forward
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set page-completions off
set completion-query-items 10000
set horizontal-scroll-mode on
The screenshots:
With tsch (what I'm looking for)
With set horizontal-scroll-mode off:
If I continue to press the 'a' key, it overwrite the whole line and wraps at the window border.
With set horizontal-scroll-mode on:
It wraps 2 inches before reaching the window border.

Hello I suffer from a problem with your MacBook There is a black line in screen

Hello
I suffer from a problem with your MacBook
There is a black line in screen
http://i48.tinypic.com/35apzz8.png

Is the line always present? If you boot up the MacBook holding down the option key during startup so that you get to the startup manager, is the line still there?
If so you have a hardware issue and it needs to be repaired. Contact Apple using their Express Lane if you live in a country where that is available, or call the appropriate phone number on this page if not. You can also take the MacBook in to an Apple store or service provider.
Best of luck.

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
Any help please?
thanx

the % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link

Problems with Playback in CS5, CS4 (gotoAndPlay command)

I've encountered a really frustrating issue a couple times now throughout the past year, both in CS5 and CS4. I get to a certain point in a project where it just seems Flash does not want to cooperate anymore. It's difficult to even explain what the issue is because it doesn't seem to be triggered by one thing in particular, and often produces different results. It's almost as if the file becomes corrupted.
Here's what will happen:
*I will create symbols and place each one in its own frame on the main timeline, so that I can see them easily. The assets will usually contain animation inside the symbol. When I'm working on a particular symbol, I will put a gotoAndStop command on the first frame of the main timeline, pointing it to the symbol I want to test. So if I'm making a tea kettle, and have placed it on frame 4, I will put a "gotoAndStop(4);" command on the first frame.
*At a certain point, I will start having problems with test movies using this gotoAndStop method, even if I don't change any the scripting. Sometimes it will turn off layers that aren't supposed to be guides. Other times it will show me a blank frame. If I replace the gotoAndStop command with a stop command on the particular frame I want, my project will display correctly.
If it were a relatively small project, I would deal with it and test everything with the Stop command. However, this is a fairly big, complex project, and in my experience, this issue seems to contaminate other files that these assets are copied to.
*I've double checked the scripts inside of the symbol, which are all simple "stop();" or "gotoAndPlay("label");" commands, and there's no error showing up in the Output window.
*The most random things will trigger this problem. Sometimes, it's adding a shape tween to the symbol. Other times, I could turn off the background layer in the main timeline by making it a guide, and all my other layers would show up. But this background layer shouldn't affect anything, as it only has a "stop();" command inside. I was able to fix the problem once by saving the FLA as an Uncompressed Flash Document (xlf). When I opened the new file, it would play back correctly, but eventually, it'd break again.
I was having similar problems in CS4 on another project. In one case, we discovered we could fix the problem temporarily by deleting a single tiny line in one of the symbols. Eventually, it would pop up again, though. Another time, I could fix it by blowing away all the linkage identifiers, but that doesn't seem to be working this time.
It's very odd. Anyone have any ideas?

She didn't export it for CS4. If she had it wouldn't be an INDD file. She needs to export to IDML and you need to realize that this document may not look like it does in CS5.
You do need to upgrade if you want to work successfully with this other designer. Worth noting, in case you don't, is that you cannot upgrade individual components of the suite. Personally, I recommend Design Premium as the best bang for the buck.

Apps with long command lines

All,
I have an application which has quite a few parameters. Once sequenced, the path in the shortcut is prefixed with the local storage location of the sequence, pushing the path length to 278 characters which is byond what we can use in Windows.
Can anyone advise ways around this?
Many thanks

Sure.
I'm using App-V v5.
The shortcut for the application would be:
"c:\program files\application\application.exe param1 param2 param3 param4 param5" etc etc
Translated into App-V 5 this would become:
"C:\ProgramData\App-V\9816CD98-D85C-4BB3-8597-7615201EAC6D\63EA6D79-DA43-46FD-AAE4-F2E602C0A906\Root\application.exe param1 param2 param3 param4 param5 etc etc"
So, the following causes the command line to exceed 255 chars:
"C:\ProgramData\App-V\9816CD98-D85C-4BB3-8597-7615201EAC6D\63EA6D79-DA43-46FD-AAE4-F2E602C0A906"
Instead of:
"c:\program files\application"
In my particular case 2 of the parameters are UNC paths and without App-V v5 the path is shorter than 255 chars. but with App-V v5 its over 270.
Many thanks

How can I print the test page with the Arabic type from the command line

Hi,
I have been trying to make the tool for printing the test page from the command line on the Arabic OS. I used "rundll32 printui dll printuientry" with "/k /n" options. My tool is to print the test page in all OS when pushing the
button.
Normally, in the Arabic Windows, the test page is printed with RTL type when printing the test page in the "Devices and Printers". But in my tool, the test page is printed with LTR type. I'm confused because of this result.
Is it possilbe to print the test page with RTL type when using the "rundll32 printui dll printuientry"? If it is possible, could anyone give me the hint or information for resolving?
Please check for me.

Problem - reading an abitrary string from the command line in basic swing

Hi,
I'm sorry if this problem is a bit basic, but I've only just started swing in Java. Anyway, I'm trying to adapt a basic swing version of the HelloWorld class. When I try to pass an abitrary string from the command line to the label within the class, I get the following error,
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

Create Users with Mail enabled in dscl or command line

I have figured out how to use the dscl to add a user.
example:
$ sudo dscl . create /users/rothman uid 701
$ sudo dscl . create /users/rothman gid 20
$ sudo dscl . create /users/rothman realname "Ernest Rothman"
$ sudo dscl . create /users/rothman passwd \*
I went as far as to launch WorkGroup manager to enable Mail.
The following gave me the key values:
dscl . read /Users/test MailAttribute > mailsettings.txt
When I try to replace from the txt file. WorkGroup Manager than believes the Mail is not enabled.
How do I use dscl or a terminal command to enable the user with mail server and to use IMAP Only?
I do not want to always have to remotely connect to launch Workgroup Manager to enable mail for new users.
I hope you can help for I am new dscl or even NetInfo command line tools.
I have tried these, but I guess it does't like how it is being restored into that property.
dscl . create /Users/test MailAttribute `< mailsettings.txt`
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dict>
<key>kAPOPRequired</key>
<string>APOPNotRequired</string>
<key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>
<string></string>
<key>kAttributeVersion</key>
<string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>
<key>kAutoForwardValue</key>
<string></string>
<key>kIMAPLoginState</key>
<string>IMAPAllowed</string>
<key>kMailAccountLocation</key>
<string>192.168.181.132</string>
<key>kMailAccountState</key>
<string>Enabled</string>
<key>kPOP3LoginState</key>
<string>POP3Deny</string>
<key>kUserDiskQuota</key>
<string>0</string>
</dict>
I have also tried appending by doing something like this.
dscl . create /Users/test MailAttribute '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<dict>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kAPOPRequired</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>APOPNotRequired</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string></string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kAttributeVersion</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>Apple Mail 1.0</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kAutoForwardValue</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string></string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kIMAPLoginState</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>IMAPAllowed</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kMailAccountLocation</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>192.168.181.132</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kMailAccountState</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>Enabled</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kPOP3LoginState</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>POP3Deny</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<key>kUserDiskQuota</key>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘<string>0</string>’
dscl . append /Users/test MailAttribute ‘</dict>’

Got it to take as a single statement.
dscl . create /users/test applemail "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <dict> <key>kAPOPRequired</key> <string>APOPNotRequired</string> <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key> <string></string> <key>kAttributeVersion</key> <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string> <key>kAutoForwardValue</key> <string></string> <key>kIMAPLoginState</key> <string>IMAPAllowed</string> <key>kMailAccountLocation</key> <string>192.168.181.132</string> <key>kMailAccountState</key> <string>Enabled</string> <key>kPOP3LoginState</key> <string>POP3Deny</string> <key>kUserDiskQuota</key> <string>0</string> </dict>"
Doing the above showed in WorkGroup manager and I tested and the user received a email, so now I can automate adding users without needing the GUI. *Just to note you still have to setup mail services and your virtual, aliases files for postfix. This is just so the user is opened up to be allowed to receive email in the first place.
I still could not seem to pipe a file into dscl command even though the file was a single line of text. I had planned to embed this in a single command so no big deal.

Problem with one table taking a long time to query.

We have one table with around 6000 rows and 30 columns. It has 1 primary key, 5 indexes, 2 foreign Keys
select primarykeycolumn from table
it takes 0.003 seconds.
If we add a where clause on an indexed column it takes 0.003 seconds approx.
If we add a simple where clause on ANY column that is not indexed then it takes around 7 seconds!
I have done a create table test as (select * from table) recreated all constraints and this again take milliseconds!
The only thing i noticed was that the table had a long RAW in it and the phyical size of it via dba_segments was 777mb. I dropped this column but the speed has not improved. But then again the dba_segment size has not changed?
Is there anything i can check or anything i can do to see where the problem could be?
Hope i have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance

Zsh: problem with up arrow binding and history function [SOLVED]

The expected action of an 'up arrow' in the middle of a command using zsh is not right. What do I have misconfigured?
When I type the following:
% cd /mnt<<UP ARROW>>
I expect zsh to search my history of other commands that started with "cd /mnt" and auto complete that subset of my history. In other words, ONLY history items that begin with "cd /mnt" but that isn't what's happening. Upon hitting <<UP ARROW>> in the middle of a "cd /mnt" gives me entries in my history that begin with "cd" not with "cd /mnt" and I don't know why. Where is the error in my configuration?
Relevant config files:
~/.zshrc.
As you can see, it will source the scriptlets in ~/.zsh as well.
Thanks in advance!

How about '{up,down}-line-or-beginning-search'?
autoload up-line-or-beginning-search
autoload down-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N up-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N down-line-or-beginning-search
bindkey "^[[A" up-line-or-beginning-search
bindkey "^[[B" down-line-or-beginning-search
*isn't sure how your key definitions work, but they don't seem to work for me*
EDIT: from man zshcontrib:
up-line-or-beginning-search, down-line-or-beginning-search
These widgets are similar to the builtin functions up-line-or-search and
down-line-or-search: if in a multiline buffer they move up or down within the buf‐
fer, otherwise they search for a history line matching the start of the current
line. In this case, however, they search for a line which matches the current line
up to the current cursor position, in the manner of history-beginning-search-back‐
ward and -forward, rather than the first word on the line.
