Run a script from a script

Can anyone help me run a script from a script to kill an event listener?
There is an event listener on save. The same script may be run multiple times before changing workflows (which require different sets of scripts).
The eventual goal is to have a time stamp in a specific text frame that will already have content. The new stamp will overwrite the old, and only happen before close. Right now it's set for "on save" because I can't figure out an if else statement for "before close". I don't want to have to end the session to be able to work different job types. I need to be able to kill the event listener when exiting documents that create one.
I'm throwing crap at the wall, hoping it will stick. I'm sure there's a better way to handle it. Anyone have ideas.
CS3 & CS4 javascript
Thanks

Here's the kind of thing I use:
function runShortRanges() {
    var shortRangesScript = File(getScriptPath().parent.parent + "/IndexExtras/ShortRanges.jsx");
    if (shortRangesScript.exists) {
      app.doScript(shortRangesScript);
In this case, I want to run a particular script in a known location, only if it exists. It's a way of adding optional functionality to a script.

Call Photoshop script from Indesign script CS4 JS

Hi, I open Photoshop linked file from InDesign in Photoshop and I need same InDesign script to run Photoshop script on the file. How I can call the Photoshop script from InDesign script.
Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you, Kasyan.
800 lines of script is little be intimidating.
What we are trying to achieve is to open jpgs in Photoshop and resave them as tiffs and replace same jpg with corresponding tiff in Indesign as it was placed before.
Is there a way to call Photoshop from Indesign through appleScript.
I have most of the script done for Indesign and I have Photoshop shript ready that saves jpgs as tiffs done. I am only missing the part where I can call this existing Ph. script from Indisign.
We prefer not to use BridgeTalk if possible, because we have a lot of programs open and running in the same time, and would like to avoid to open one more program (BridgeTalk).
Thank you very much for your great help.

Load dockable script from a script

I'm trying to build a script that will allow you to type in the name of a script instead of going through the window or script menu.Is there a way to load a dockable script through a script? Ideally this would have the same effect as if you had loaded the script vie teh windows menu ie. a dockable script would be dockable.

Ah I see what you're getting at.
No, I'm not exactly able to do that. It's a dumb workaround, but it still can only load scripts that are local to your computer.
Basically it's not "loading" the scripts from the script. All this script does is list the names of all of your scripts in your scriptUI folder as buttons (kind of like FT TOOLBAR but without icons, it's just the names on the buttons). When you click on a button, it doesn't directly launch the script. It performs app.executeCommand and searches for the script in your scriptui folder with a name that matches the button you clicked on. It's the same as clicking Window and launching a script that way, it's just a little easier. Since it's pulling it from the app.executeCommand, it'll load it as a dockable panel. If I told the script to just run the script in question, it would be a palette, not a dockable panel.
I WISH I could write a script that just loaded a bunch of scripts from a website, would make portable AE work so much easier.

Initiating batch scripts from Maxl Script Editor in Admin Console??

Guys,
Is it possible to initiate batch scripts from Maxl script editor in Admin Console.
I dont want to automate the scripts as my data loading process can happen at any time.
Thanks in advance
A

Hi A,
I'm not sure what you're asking? Do you want to run a batch of Maxl scripts, or a batch file, or a single Maxl Script? Why do you choose to use the Admin console to do this? Could you run what you're trying to run in batch from the command line?
Executing MaxL and MDX Scripts
To execute a MaxL script or an MDX script:
Open or create the script.
From the server drop-down list on the toolbar, select the Analytic Server to execute the script against.
The drop-down list contains only Analytic Servers that are displayed in your Enterprise View. For more information about connections, see Connecting to Analytic Servers in MaxL and MDX Script Editors.
Specify how errors should be handled during execution. See Setting MaxL and MDX Execution Options.
Specify how you want results to be displayed in the Results tab. See Viewing MaxL and MDX Results.
If the script contains variables, specify how undefined variables are resolved during execution. See Resolving Undefined Variables.
To execute the entire script, right-click and select Execute from the pop-up menu.
To execute only part of the script, highlight the statement or statements that you want to execute, right-click, and select Execute from the pop-up menu.
The script executes against the specified Analytic Server, and the results are displayed in the Results panel.Regards,
Robb Salzmann

Urgent Problem in Executing perl script from shell script

Hello,
I've a shell script on one server (source) and a perl script on another (target).
My perl script will check whether the directoryname, filename provided by shell script exists on the target server or not.
My shell script is as follows:
#! bin/bash
cmd=`ssh user@target "perl /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl"`
echo $cmd
And my perl script uses a package CU_Functions.pm, which is in the same directory as the perl script on the target server.
But when I invoke the perl script from shell script, I get the following error:
Source:user> (db:ias10g12_mid_db) /home/user/perl
$ sh /home/user/arcs/arcs_conn.sh
user@target's password:
Can't locate CU_Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl .) at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
Please let me know if I need to do any configurations prior to call the perl script.

As for the Perl INC, I cannot recall the environment variable that sets that but the following example should work:
ssh user@host "export ENV_VAR=/path/to/include/files:$ENV_VAR ; /full/path/to/script"

You might want to try to better understand shell script programming. It makes it otherwise difficult for a poster to recommend you a solution. I don't believe you can expect others to do all the development and testing work for you. Since this is a forum on a volunteer basis, you might also want to consider marking helpful replies and review received answers more carefully.
Perhaps the following will work for you:
#!/bin/bash
export ORACLE_SID=TEST
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oratest/db/tech_st/11.1.0
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
echo
output=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOT
   set pages 0 feed off
   whenever sqlerror exit failure;
   connect xgbzprod/xgbzprod
   exec XGBZ_GL_COA_XMLTAG_PROC;
EOT
`
echo "$output"
username="oratest"
hostname="11.10.11.159"
password="welcome1"
for fn in GEBIZ_COA_RPO000*.*; do
   echo "GL Chart of Accounts File Name : " $fn
/sftp.exp "$username" "$hostname" "$password" "$fn"
done
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set username [lindex $argv 0]
set hostname [lindex $argv 1]
set password [lindex $argv 2]
set fn [lindex $argv 3]
spawn sftp $username@$hostname
expect -exact "[email protected]'s password:"
send -- "$password\r"
expect -exact "sftp>"
send -- "cd /sftp0002/uat/inbox\r"
expect -exact "sftp>"
send -- "lcd /u01/oratest/processed\r"
expect -exact "sftp>"
send -- "put $fn\r"
expect -exact "sftp>"
send -- "quit\r"
send -- "exit\r"
expect eofP.S. The above code is very simplistic and does not take error handling into account.
Using CURL, like I suggested in my first reply was an easier solution, since you don't need to to script Expect, but it turns out that you might need Enterprise Linux 6 or install at least CURL verison 7.19 to support sftp.

Create script from another script using PROMPT

Oracle 11
Instead of having to link to another database I want to create 2 scripts that are executed from a shell script and run them separately. Script1 run in Database1 would create Script 2 by using PROMPT to create the second script while grabbing a date from database1 to pass into database2. I almost have it but the problem is ... Script2 uses COPY FROM and I have to put a "-" at the end of each line which the PROMPT takes as a literal instead of as part of the output.
SCRIPT1:
set pagesize 0
set trimspool on
set linesize 2000
set echo off
set verify off
set feedback off
set sqlblanklines on

Calling sql script from shell script

Hi,
I know this question has been asked many time in various forums, but I tried many combinations and not able to figure out what I'm missing.
Basically - I'm trying to call a sql script from a shell script.
This is my sql script (plsql.sql) -
DELCARE
v_empno NUMBER := '&empno';
BEGIN
select ename,sal from emp where empno = v_empno;
dbms_output.put_line('Inside the plsql file');
END;
This is my unix shell script - I'm caling the plsql.sql file with the parameter passed(97882). I don't get any output. at least I should be able to view the dbms output if not for the sql query inside the sql script.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s sam/olo01 << HERE
@plsql.sql 97882;
HERE
What is it I am missing ?

Using your scripts (and having to create and populate a table myself, that would have what your select statement implies),
oracle:oklacity$ cat plsql.sql
DELCARE
v_empno NUMBER := '&empno';
BEGIN
select ename,sal from emp where empno = v_empno;
dbms_output.put_line('Inside the plsql file');
END;
oracle:oklacity$ cat doit.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus -s sam/olo01 << HERE
@plsql.sql 97882;
HERE
oracle:oklacity$ ./doit.sh
SP2-0042: unknown command "DELCARE" - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "v_empno NU..." - rest of line ignored.
oracle:oklacity$
This is the kind of information you should have put in your opening post.

How to call BS Browser Script from Server Script

I have a req. where a confirmation message need to be displayed to the user from Server Script.
I have followed the steps described in bookshelf http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E05553_01/books/CommSrvAdm/CommSrvAdm_AdvConfig40.html
and the same is not working. I am invoking the BS from Applet Server script.
Please let me know if the above steps can be used in our context as it is not at all related to CTI.
For the above config I have selected one of the existing Profiles in our system and am not sure about the role played by the same.
Thanks in advance.

You create a Business Service, then deploy the BS as described in the bookshelf and finally call it through Browser Scripts.
You can't interact with the browser session from the server the way you describe your requirement.

Run script, from another script

Hello everybody. I try learn to use a scripts in AE. And I have some trouble. But first of all this:
var AEPanel = this;
myBTN = AEPanel.add("button", [10, 10, 120, 40], "Apply");
myBTN.onClick = onScriptButtonClick;
function onScriptButtonClick()
var scriptFile = File("Support Files/Scripts/Change Render Locations.jsx");
scriptFile.open();
eval(scriptFile.read());
scriptFile.close();
I put this script in ScriptUI Panels folder. Panel appear normally. But! Then i click on the button, nothing happens.
And in the debugging I see that the path to the script is identified correctly. It is true instead of spaces in the tooltip I see these the symbols:
%20
Pleas help me. How to properly run a script?

Thank you Paul!
%20 is just how space characters are encoded and doesn't matter
Ye, I know this,.. it`s was my just suggestion...
So. The solution in this string:
var scriptFile = File(File($.fileName).parent.parent.absoluteURI + "/Change Render Locations.jsx")
Everything else is identical, in my script and in your. Of course except alerts. I remove them, and now i have just my button which works fine....
And may be you can suggest, why does not work "my" method of running the script?
Thanks again!

How to run a function from a scripted MC

I haven't used AS1 in a while and I do not know why my code isn't working and I don't knnow how to fix it, I have been playing around with it and trying to figure out how to get to a function or run a function which is on the main timline from an mc or even just skip to that code (since its the last frame of my MC) the MC includes nothing but actionscript to gather information to save/create a .txt file.
Basically how can I run a function on the main timeline from where I am now?
if (_root.ssFileSave != "?") {
_root.filename = _root.ssFileSave;
_root.onsaver();
onsaver is the function I am trying to run and I have tried all sorts to get it working properly :S
win 7 cs5 as1 (+using SWF studio which I am using to create and save file(s))

if onsaver is defined on the _root timeline AND it has been defined when that code executes (use trace functions to confirm), then
_root.onsaver(); // is correct coding

Calling a script from another script?

So quick question. Lets say i have a script called run.jsx,and within that i want to call a few external scripts say, create.jsx, delete.jsx. Is that easy enough to do, or should i just put all the functions in a single file?
I was thinking its easier and cleaner to put it in seperate files, but if there is no issue putting all in one, then i will do that.
Thanks.

Thanks. This worked just fine.
//@include "create.jsx"

Run Photoshop script from Bridge

Hi
I have a modified version of Image Processor script in photoshop scripting folder (it saves RAW files as smart objects) and would like to run it from Bridge (apply to selected images). Right now I can run script from File > Scripts Photoshop menu but not in Bride Tools > Photoshop
Thank you
The help will be appreciated

Its Not Adobe Code and its not shipped with Photoshop. Photoshop versions also has bugs in ScriptUI which is used by scripts with a dialog. Image Processor Pro 2.3.1 has some bugs. Some files formats its saves may have problems.
Russell Brown works for Adobe but he has been pulled away from Photoshop. Xbytor is the programmer that wrote Image Processor Pro he does not work for Adobe and he is feed up with Adobe for not fixing bugs in Photoshop scripting. He stated he will support Image Processor Pro for some time.
Russell web site has this. The Open Source code is now available for many of my script and panels
Because of new projects and a changing demand for my time, it will be necessary for me to move on to new projects at Adobe. For this reason I will no longer be able to support, or update many of my scripts and panels. Never fear! – I am releasing the source code for many of my programs and if you are a programmer then you can use this code to modify and change my scripts to meet your needs. If you are not a programmer then I recommend working with anyone on the list of programmers that I have supplied below. However! Let me make it clear that his code is not to be sold. This is an open and free source to be used for the good of humankind and Adobe Photoshop users around the world
===========================
I do not have a Mac or a Windows 8 machine to test on. On my Windows 7 PC Image Processor Pro 2.3.1 and newer versions run on CS6, CC and CC 2014.. X is still working on it

Displaying an alert (Applescript or otherwise) from shell script?

I have a point in a shell script where I'd like to put up an alert dialogue on a particular error condition. The script runs in the background and doesn't have a terminal window. I tried writing a little applescript that uses the applescript alert command and call it using osascript from my shell script, but it doesn't work. If I enter "osascript ~/myscript.scpt" in a terminal window, I get the error message "/Users/Ted/myscript.scpt: execution error:No user interaction allowed. (-1713)" (If I run myscript.scpt from the script editor it does what I want it to do.) Any ideas? I suppose I could have my shell script create a file in some folder and have my applescript be triggered as a folder action, but that seems pretty roundabout!

Thanks -- I apologize for not doing a more thorough search! Yes, that comes very close to addressing my need, but I have run into one difficulty. If I run my shell script from the terminal (pasting it in) everything works fine. If I run it as a packaged app (with Platypus) everything works like it's supposed to, except that the alert applescript (it's just a one line script) briefly flashes the alert dialogue when it's supposed to and then dies, rather than waiting 10 seconds or until I click OK. I'll have to experiment and see if I can tell what's going on.

Problem while calling concsub from shell script

Hi All,
I am facing problem when I am trying to run CONCSUB utility from shell script.The same works well when I try it from command line.The only prob I am facing from shell script is assigning values to temporary variables.
This is how my script looks
#!/bin/bash
export PARM5="$5"
export PARM6="$6"
export PARM7="$7"
echo "INTPARM5=\"$PARM5\""
echo "INTPARM6=\"$PARM6\""
echo "INTPARM7=\"$PARM7\""
echo $FND_TOP/bin/CONCSUB $1 ONT 'Order Management Super User, Vision Operations (USA)' $3 WAIT=Y CONCURRENT ONT $PROGRAM "$INTPARM5" "$INTPARM6" "$INTPARM7"When I try to run the above shell based concurrent program it doesn't pass the parameters as expected and it errors out saying "Wrong number of arguments to call the procedure"
I tried my luck from some of the previous posts ({thread:id=2360776} ),but to vain
If anyone has any ideas,please suggest!!
Thanks in advance!!
