Run Once still runs on every refresh

I have a bundle Launch action that is set to Run Once for first user that logs in. However, for my test user (the bundle is still in Sandbox mode for testing), the bundle is getting run every time the agent refreshes. What gives?

If Craig gets a chance he can probably confirm/deny.
I would suspect it is intended for the reason you state. (No Version number and a need to run the "test" bundle over and over until it is fully tested and the bundle goes live and then it is really run once.)
I was just testing "Run Once" functionality on ZCM 11.3.1 MU1 in regards to whether "ShortCuts" appear or disappear.
For Sandbox, the answer was No.
Non-Sandbox Yes.
Thus I would expect the same result from "Launch Actions".

Once I close all windows and try to open another I get a message saying"Firefox is still running, you must close all browers before opening a new window. Why is this happening? I have the 3.5.10 Version

I close all Firefox windows. When I try to open another window later I get a message telling me that Firefox is still running and that I need to close all windows or restart my computer. I have this about 3 times a day this past week but prior to that it was maybe every one or 2 weeks. I had the 3.5.10 Version of Firefox, but have just updated to see if this stops this from happening. But what do I do if it doesn't stop it?

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

After latest update once i close session won't restart says still running

Updated latest version, all plugins etc updated then noticed once I ended session I couldn't open firefox again. No recognisition from clicking on desktop icon, going to programme file and asking to open, right clicking to open programme would help. Only way was to reboot and start again. Sometimes would say firefox is still running and close firefox first. No indication on screen that firefox was still running. Other browser work fine.

Can Media Encoder append a still image to EVERY sequence run through it?

Hi!
We are trying to streamline our video publishing process and I was wondering if ME can automatically add a clip or still image to every sequence it exports?
For example, at the end of every video we have our company logo / social media call to actions. Is there a way to have these added in ME as opposed to doing in the Premiere timeline? The way that they SHOULD be put together is fairly subtle and at the frame by frame level.
It would be a huge timesaver if we could automatically place these and avoid the inevitable mistakes that come with re placing each time through.
Thanks so much!

Hi action_packed,
This is from the documentation: http://helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/using/add-items-encoding-queue.html
Still Image Sequences are not supported as source footage through Watch Folders. If a set of still images is placed in the folder being watched, each individual still file will be added as a separate item to the Queue rather than than the entire sequence as a single piece of footage.
Make a feature request for that here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
Thanks,

Run Once ?

I have been looking for a proper "run once" option for policies.
Checking through here looking for a real run once option, I found a three year old post that suggested that this functionality would be available soon.
Does anyone have any hints if this will ever make it into the product?
I cannot use "System Requirements" because it logs an error on each refresh for each server - a pretty foolish decision I think.

We use zlm to manage about 400 server and when we started the migration project in 2006 I was searching for something like that and found a few one's like webmin or so. But at that stage no one could deliver what we were looking for and as a result we decided to configure our systems using rpm packages. As we develop linux software we needed a rpm build environment and were familiar with building rpm packages. Therefor we build some packages that contain sometimes simple, sometimes complex scripts, that configure the system. They do things like ntp configuration, deactivating some runlevel scripts, activating vnc remote access, creating the syslog and snmp config .... Now after maybe 3 years with that solution, we are still quiet happy with it because we do not have changes very often and keep the config on all system identical. And as we install the zlm client during the autoyast installation of the server, it will pull down those config packages and configure the server right after the installation. No need to add it to a different administration tool, this is all done via zlm.
This is not a solution for everybody, but for us it's quiet simple and we will continue with it.
Webmin: Webmin
I hope this helps a little bit,

RMI Experts - I cannot connect to server, but connected clients STILL RUN

I am pulling my hair out, I have 4 identical RMI servers running on RH linux 7.0, JDK1.3. The client is a signed java applet that runs with the JRE1.3 under windows. It binds to each of the 4 servers, and unbinds from the 3 with the most clients connected for load balancing and failover.. The servers are set up as:
rmi://12.34.56.78:1099/server1
rmi://12.34.56.78:1098/server2
rmi://12.34.56.78:1097/server3
rmi://12.34.56.78:1096/server4
I am using different ports AND server names, I find that the client confuses things if you don't..
The problem started when I re-deployed the applet, but it didn't work, so I put the OLD version back out there. NO SERVER SIDE changes at all, and the applet that has been working for months is now the same exact jar file.
Here's what's happenning: When I look up all 4 servers, 3 are giving me 'No Name Space', even though I'm positive the code is correct. NEW connections are not being allowed, but clients that are ALREADY connected still run perfectly. It's ALWAYS 3 out of 4 servers down, the 4th one NEVER crashes.. When I re-start the server app, it runs for about 3 minutes and crashes again.
The result is the client only sees one server up and EVERYONE connects to it.. There are about 250 simultaneous connections, and one server cannot handle all this computation..
PLEASE HELP!
Doug

I'm not sure why you care about the connections once
you have chosen the one you want to keep. You didn't
say how your servers really know about the number of
active connections, but if you implement your own
connect/disconnect on top of RMI, then you should be
able to keep your connection counts straight.Well, I just assumed that the connections would stay there, but after some testing, it doesn't look like that's the case at all.. In fact, unless you are calling methods, there are NO TCP connections being maintained to the server at all.. 'netstat -a' on the linux server says there is nothing at all when the client app is idle..
I have a method on the server that gets called by the clients once every couple min's with the user's IP, login, and which app the are using.. The server keep a table of who's logged in (ie, who it's receiving these method calls from), so it konws who's logged in at any given time.. When a user closes the app, this method gets called with some different arguements, then the server removes that entry from the table..
The server checks it's table every so often and flags a field as 'false' every so often.. The client is responsible for calling this method which changes it back to 'true'. The server checks less frequently than the clients call this method, so if the server checks, and the flag is already false, that means the client app closed and didn't notify the server (ie, power failure, process killed, etc..), so the server has a means of timing out users however frequently you set it up for..
I have it set up so the client calls the server method every 5 minutes, and the server checks every 10. It works perfectly and there's hardly any overhead at all.. Even with 400 people (which is the highest peak) on the system (across 4 servers), you can't notice a performance decrease at all.. The load is being balanced something like 98 / 102 / 105 / 96, and before this setup it was more like 40 / 153 / 143 / 70.. So it's well worth it..

Since installing yosemite my computer/screen blacks out, but still running

Since installing yosemite last week, my computer/screen blacks out, but still running. I have since rebooted everything, started from scratch and utilizing my external drive transferred all files/apps back. Did not help, in fact it is getting worse. Computer screen blacks out every 5 min or so and have to power up again. Also, continue to get Java message updates even after all have been updated over and over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

When I close firefox I can't open a window again. It tells me that firefox is still running and I have to restart my system. This is a recurring problem on a brand new system and very irritating.

I don't know what other details I can give you. I am not very computer wise. Just an every day web browser and emailer. This is a catch 22 problem. For example when I am installing a program; adobe flash player for example, it tells me to close firefox to continue and when I do I get the firefox is still running message even though there is no window. And so the installation isn't completed. I like firefox but this is a bit of a dealbreaker. hope you can help.

* Try this.
* Type in the address bar about:config.
* Accept the warning.
* In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections.
* Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
* Close the about:config page.
* Restart the browser.

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

When I close Firefox my computer says it is still running and I have to restart my computer to get Firefox to run...this is a first for me.

Every time I close Firefox and try to restart it my computer leaves a message that I still have Firefox running and that it is unresponsive and needs to be closed. The problem is that there isn't a still-running Firefox to be found, consequently it is impossible to close and therefore impossible to open. I have used every form of Firefox and this is the first time this has happened. Please, please don't force me to use Chrome or iExplorer!!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode (above). Wait a few minutes, then close Firefox.
Is there still a problem?

You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
Find your profile folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

WSUS process is still running/ hanging up

I made an inexperienced mistake.
Things that I have done include:
I have changed synchronization to manual from Auto.
I went to automatic approvals and unchecked WSUS updates to automatically approve updates for the WSUS product itself.
I went to Update files and languages and chose the "Do not store files locally; computers install from Microsoft Update"
I did the following three items above within the WSUS console in options.
After the issue occured my monitoring agent provided me with the following:
Description: The program mmc.exe version 6.0.6002.18005 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available,
check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 2c38 Start Time: 01cc2b5582d3395e Termination Time: 0
Now when I try to turn on the three options I unchecked, the snapin hangs up and says the WSUS process is still running. Its been three days. This issue is still occuring and I am unable to synchronize successfully, or even get into the snapin.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I changed "store update on local" and now I can't make any changes on settings. It keeps saying "cannot save configuration because server is still processing a previous configuration change".
Yep. It means exactly what it says. It's all about understanding the implication of changes to be made before making those changes.
You choose NOT to have a local content store and now the WSUS server needs to process each and every approved update to determine whether there's a file to be removed from the filesystem and/or whether there's a EULA to be kept. This process has been known
to run for DAYS on some servers depending on the number of total updates, number of approved updates, number of groups, and available resources on the server.
Your only option is to WAIT for the process to complete.
