Readouts from Console.app

How can i know from Console logs, if & when special events related to my mini occurred?
e.g. if i want to know when a power failure took place, (& i'm not at home, or power failed in the night), I don't think there is any specific logging of this in console. What wording in console's log can lead me to say with 90% confidence that power had failed?

There would not be any specific log entry. You could figure out when by the difference between the time on a clock that isn't affected by the outage and the time on a clock that would have stopped when the outage occurred. If the computer is set to restart after an outage, then there is a console.log entry when the restart occurs.

Accessing EJB from Console App.

I have deployed in EJB with JNDI name "greeter" in Sun Java� System Application Server Platform Edition 8.
Then i am trying to access EJB using a console app (given below).
import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.rmi.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
public class Client
public static void main(String args[])
Greeter myGreeterBean;
GreeterHome myGreeterHome;
Greeter myGreeterRemote;
Context context = null;
try
context = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println( "Unable To Get Initial Context");
return;
System.out.println("Got Context...");
try {
String JNDIName = "greeter";
Object objref = context.lookup(JNDIName);
System.out.println("Got Access To Object");
myGreeterHome =(GreeterHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,
GreeterHome.class);
myGreeterRemote = myGreeterHome.create();
String theMessage = myGreeterRemote.getGreeting();
System.out.println(theMessage);
catch(Exception ex) { System.out.println( ex.getMessage()); }
} // end of main
} // end of Client
But, while i am running this program i am getting the following error:
Got Context...
Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
I don't know where i am wrong. Any idea about it ?
Thank you,
P.Srikanth.

This is what you need to modify :)
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "<<your
initial context factory>>");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "<<JNDI provider
URL>>");
// Check documentation for exact Strings to be set.
// Pass the environment parameters to
InitialContext.
Context context = new InitialContext(env);

No this is not correct. Lookups in SUN AS works a bit differently.

There are actually two ways to get access the console log again. One is through Console.app and one is via terminal.
In Console.app...
Go to File --> New System Log Query...
your expression should be: [Facility] [is equal to] "com.apple.console"
and you can can make the 'Search Name' equal to "Console Messages".
Once you click OK, you will return the same functionality to your console.app that you had previous to 10.7.
In Terminal...
symply type tye following and strike return:
syslog -C
terminal then prints all the conosoel messages to the standard output (your screen), then exits back to the command prompt.
If you want to clean it up and keep the console listing live (waiting for new messages to appear), type the following:
syslog -B -C -w
This displays yoru console log, but only messages that have ben generated since the last boot, and waits for new messages.
strike ^C (command+c) to exit
For more information, you can use the manpage for syslog to better understand the tool set.
(man syslog)
Hope this helps.
Just FYI the removal fo Console Messages from console.app persists through 10.9.2 (time of this writing).
Also FYI, with the terminal method it is quite handy to monitor multiple systems (or rack full of xserves like I still have the pleasure of managing) via SSH

Is it possible to open the Java plugin / WebStart Console from my app ?

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to add a menuitem to my application that would start the Java plugin/web start console.
That would be nice when people have errors in my application.
Martin

Thanks for the information, but is there a way to do it without using exec methods ?
I just want to bring up the Java Console from my app, in the more portable way possible ;-)

Console app from labview VI

Hi,
I have a VI which I have turned into an EXE and it works fine (as a dialog-based app). I now want to use this EXE as a console app -- be able to give the input AND receive the resulting output on the command prompt. How can I do this?
I know how to pass in arguments to my EXE from command line. The problem is how do I output the result (bunch of strings) back to the command prompt?
One solution I guess is to build a DLL from my VI and then create a console app in VC++ calling this dll in it.
Any other ideas? examples?
TiA!
Khalid

Hi,
For the output...
Use GetStdHandle, kernel32 to get a handle, (handle GetStdHandle(long
param), use -11 for parameter);
Use WriteFile, kernel32 to write a string (long WriteFile(long handle, CStr
message, long length, long *written, long overlapped));
It actually works!
Regards,
Wiebe.

Reading each keystroke from a console app?

I'm using Sun JDK 1.3.0_02 on RedHat Linux 7.1.
I've written a console application (no GUI, no Swing), from which I need to read each keystroke from the keyboard as it is typed.
My loop basically waits (blocks) on System.in.read(), and disposes of each byte as it is read.
Unfortunately, the way the app executes, my Java app doesn't seem to be given any keyboard input until the user presses ENTER. In addition, each keystroke is echoed to the console display, which I don't want.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this? I can't use any GUI components as this needs to be a console app.
Thank you,
Bryan

This can be fixed with a tiny JNI program. As long as the 'c' call getch() works the same on all platforms:
// The Java class
import java.io.*;
public class ConsoleInputStream extends InputStream
    public native int read();
    static
        System.loadLibrary("ConsoleInputStream");
// The JNI header

    public static void main(String[] args)
        try
            System.setIn(new ConsoleInputStream());
            while(true)
                int ch=System.in.read();
                if(ch=='\r')
                    break;
                else

Calling Console App from Win Interface

Need to call a console app[long running process] from a windows interface, such that
1. The interface remains active after calling the console app
2. So that I am able to fire another call via interface to the console app
3. And these two would run concurrently
Some googling around gave me certain solutions... will try today .
1. From Win Forms Interface , I call my console app with this code
[Link]
ProcessStartInfo oStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
oStartInfo.FileName = ApplicationName;
oStartInfo.Arguments = BaseOptions + MyLoopLoadedItemsHere;
Process.Start(oStartInfo)
2. Use the background worker class in the interface component and then call the console app.
3. Or Any thing else ?
However feedback required on whats the best approach according to you

You are on the right track. However you don't need to use a background worker class in this particular case. The line "Process.Start(oStartInfo)" returns immediately and the process will run in parallel to yours.

Hi,
Check if your wsdl endpoint can accessed properly. If yes, check the soap-binding address is properly pointing to the server hosting the webservice.

How to migrate mails from Google Apps to MS Exchange Online IMAP (Getting error)

I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.
I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:

Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
Tools console.
Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario. With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

Putting dual 1.8 GHz G5 to sleep breaks Mac OS X's Console.app

My mother's G5 is having problems with Leopard it seems.
I did a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5.1 (that's what's on the DVD) and everything seemed fine. I'm quite sure it's after the upgrade to 10.5.6 that the problem happens (of course it can be any of the updates in between too) because if I remember correctly the problem doesn't occur in 10.5.1.
What happens after the wake is that after a few seconds (upon clicking something, i.e. a menu) the beach ball comes up and it takes a minute or so then there's a few seconds where the stall goes away only to come again. I once managed to ask it to restart, but it then got stuck at the spinning cogwheel (shut down process after the menu bar and Dock has disappeared) so I did a forced restart.
After the restart the computer seems OK again, but when trying to launch Console.app to see if there would be anything in the logs Console.app crashes. Something is broken. It was this ”broken Console.app” that made me do the re-install in the first place, so in other words it's the sleep that triggers the problem and also (indirectly maybe) breaks the functionality of Console.app.
Any ideas on this?
As it is now at least version 10.5.6 of Mac OS X doesn't seem to work very well on at least this particular G5 model...

Nap is a power saving feature.
The following processor states are defined:
■ Run: The system is running at maximum processing capacity with the processor running at full speed.
■ Idle: The system is idling; this is the default state. All clocks are running and the system can return to running code within a few nanoseconds. If the system has no work to do, it will be in idle mode.
From idle, the processor will enter deep nap state when the system is power-stepped to half frequency. In this state, the processor’s internal frequency is reduced to 1/64 of the maximum frequency. The processor frequency is returned to normal on exit from idle. The exit from idle takes a bit longer than the regular idle nap but is still in the nanoseconds.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

Can't 'print to pdf' from ANY app, it just...

stops after processing some bytes.
As the title says, happens from any app, text, preview, word, safari, firefox...
and upon further inspection, distiller crashes when trying to distil a .PS file (generated from indesigncs2) into a pdf.
i have tried:
repair prefs
deleted distiller and acrobat related prefs
reinstalled acrobat (version 7 btw)
tried to use distiller and 'print to pdf' option prior to each option - still no go.
however, i created a new account, and in the new account, it worked fine hmmm, so its my account..
what can i do to fix my pdf problems??
thanks in advance.

sim888,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Nice troubleshooting, particularly using another user account to determine it's something in your account that's causing the problem. Without dragging your entire user Library/ Preferences file to the Desktop and then returning .plists a few at a time to watch for the problem to return, you could check your user preferences (.plist) files in Terminal by entering the command:
find ~/Library -name '*.plist' -exec /usr/bin/plutil -lint {} \;
You can also download Preferential Treatment
I've seen scattered reports of problems using OS X's built-in print-to-PDF when some versions of Adobe software are installed. Are Distiller etc. installed for general use or under the relatively rare single-user access? In the hunting in the dark category, with no programs open, you could look at Activity Monitor in both user accounts and see if you spot any background user (non-system) processes running in your normal user account that aren't in the test user, then force-quit those user processes to see if printing to PDF works without conflicts. I'm not sure what log a failed print to PDF would go into, but you can open Console look through console.log, system.log, and CrashReporter et al. for events timestamped around the time of a failed print-to-PDF attempt. The backtrace of any failure report may provide additional clues.

Console.app doesn't show up (window)

Hi,
a week or so after I've upgraded to 10.9.2 my console.app stopped opening any log file and it doesn't show even a (blank) window.
I checked the activity monitor and it seems to be working.
I've typed "tail -f /var/log/system.log" in a terminal window and opened the Console and it showed this lines:
        15 Foundation                          0x00007fff87c187ba -[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] + 68

        22 libdyld.dylib                       0x00007fff89b0a5fd start + 1
After readind some posts I've deleted com.apple.console* from ~/Library/Preferences and /Library/Preferences but no luck.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

Not sure if this is a typo in your post but:

should be href= .......

Console.app not updates in LOG DATABASE

After a forced shutdown of the MacBook Pro, the console.app displays all logfiles and also LOG DATABASE QUERIES, but the content of the LOG DATABASE only date back to the fored shutdown point in time. Afterwards, system.log, etc are updated, but the LOG DATABASE is not.
I have checked for the /var/log/asl.db, which I do not have (touching it also did not help). I have an /var/log/asl directory containing following files (the LongTTL.asl was updated after forced shutdown, 14:19 was restart time):
drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 374 4 Jan 15:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 53 root wheel 1802 4 Jan 15:41 ..
-rw------- 1 marcus wheel 81500 2 Jan 23:42 2009.01.02.U501.asl

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 113923 4 Jan 15:55 LongTTL.asl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8 4 Jan 14:19 StoreData
Any more ideas how to repair/enable LOG DATABASE in console.app?
thx.

Somehow the forced shutdown corrupted that date files in var/log/asl subdirectory. Restarting machine the following day showed new messages within LOG DATABASE, but messages from the day before are not displayed any more. So the LOG DATABASE seems to work again.
