Run process in xmonad and capturing output

Hi!
For my xmonad config, I need something like spawn, but that will return any output from the process spawned.
I was thinking of using runProcessWithInput from Xmonad.Utils.Run.
Is there a better way to do this?

You may find runProcess from System.Process to be of some help. It takes several options, including handles for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.

Running Multiple SQL in a Single Worksheet: Can I Selectively Run a Single SQL and Append Output?

In any release of SD, if I have a single worksheet containing 10 sqls. Is it possible to place the cursor on any of the sql and run only that sql, yet, append its output to existing output window. I can then select another sql and execute it and keep appending output. In other words, do not clear existing output or start a new output tab.
As it exists today (in any release), I can either 'run script' which does append, but it executes all the sql (non-selective). Alternately, I can 'run statement' to selectively run a single sql, but it will clear the output window (or if pinned), start a new one. None of this is what I want.
Thank you.

Select the query you want to run. Execute it via F5. Then highlight the next query and repeat.
The output will append to the Script Output panel.
There's no way to get 2 queries to share a grid, unless you were to run them as a single query a la UNION.

How to get Application name of a current running process in LiveCycle??

Hi,
I want to get the Application name of current running process in LiveCycle as a output value.
I have 3 applictions, the 3 applications are calling same SubProcess, so I want get the name of the application from which the sub process has been called.
I want to retrieve the Application name and asssign this value to a output variable.
I have searched for the solution I found a method getApplicationName() but inorder to get the current running process's Application Name this might not be useful..
So suggest the way to resolve this..
Thanks in Advance.....
Regards,
Kalyan Urimi

Use an input/output string variable in the subprocess and set its value in each calling process as respective Application name.
May be if this could help.
Thanks,

IS there an easy way to execute a shell command and capture its output...

From an application? I am thinking of using fork and then waiting for the PID to finish and write the output to a file which I then read, but this seems clunky. Also there are big warnings about frameworks getting hosed if you use fork, although the "Forked" process will exec the shell command and the one that gets the PID the original process might be 'safe' from this framework corruption. I am not certain of this, it is just a guess.
If there was something like a process class where I could specify the executable and parameters, and read from it's std out until the process completed, that would be better. Or even get a callback when the process exited and an asynchronous callback for each line of data it produced.

That was just in response to OrangeKay implied accusation that I was some kind of hard-core Microsoft programmer that sneered at apple programmers.
You may want to book mark this, I will go over a brief history which should clear a lot of things up, about me, and about what I am doing.
Lets turn the clock back to 1998: I graduate from a university with a BS in Computer science. I had been interning at a local defense contractor writing missile testing software. This was on a proprietary hardware and so there was no "Microsoft" involved. At this point I think Bill Gates = Satan. Microsoft = Kingdom of Evil.
I get a job as a video game programmer. I write code from the Playstation, then the Playstation 2 and Gamecube. I do this for several years and again I have zero interest / knowledge of the Microsoft world beyond it being the OS which I am forced to use to play my games on. I had fought this by trying to use OS Warp and other things, but eventually since I mainly had a PC for games I had to get a windows OS, the first being NT 3.51 and then Win98 cause NT4.0 didn't support past directx 3 and everyone was using directX 5 or 6 (I do not remember).
As video game companies go, they do not last. Everyone wants to write video games, anyone with some cash wants to start a company. 1 in 1000 will make it 5 years. Needless to say, as our company began to tank, I got laid off, along with my entire team. I have cash in the bank, no big deal, right?
Well the economy started to suck, video game developers were closing down like crazy so the market was saturated with x-video game developers. 2 Years go by, no job, and almost no money. Then I get a call from some guy who wants me to come for an interview about 75 miles away. It is in a place I do not want to go. So they interview me, and ask me a bunch of general programming questions.
I leave the place, and by the time I get home there is a message on my machine asking me if I would take the job at a ridiculously high salary (I live in an area where the cost of living is very low). Well I am about out of money and its a job offer with a huge salary, so I take it.
I get there and guess what? I get to work on this "agent" that runs on windows boxes. I have NO IDEA how to program on windows. Windows is evil, why would I want to taint myself with this vile Microsoft APIs? I really have no choice, I have to learn how to develop on windows. I get to use visual studio 6, which I do not understand because I used the Borland compilers (Borland != Microsoft).
Well I start to slug through it all and get familiar with MSDN and CodeProject and CodeGuru. As the years pass, I begining applicate the examples and detailed documentation that MSDN has. I have a start page on MSDN which covers every category of operation which will take you through a tree of choices and lead you to the exact area related API calls you will need to use to do whatever you want. Now I do not think MS = Evil anymore. I switch to DevStudio 2005 which is really nice. The debugging, IDE, and everything is great.
Now the other half of this application resides on a server. That server is a Linux box, and the server app is written in Java. My stuff is still C++.
One day, I get a request, and a eMac with 10.4 PPC to make a Mac version. Now I am at the point of Mac programming as I was with Windows when I started. I didn't know anything about it. I was looking for CodeWarrior cause I used that in the past, but alas, CodeWarrior is no more. I get XCode. I see all sorts of options to make a project. BSD project, Carbon, Cocoa, etc... What the heck any of these. I can guess the BSD one is very basic, but I do not understand Carbon vs Cocoa.
So what do I do? I make a basic carbon app and make a basic Cocoa app. The carbon app looks like some kind of C++ framework. The Cocoa app? "Is this another language like Java or C#? It doesn't look like a C++ language."
Guess which choice I make. Carbon. I struggle through this looking at the docs, posting on CodeGuru and whatnot until someone finally tells me about these forums and warns me about how unfriendly people are. So I make an account and start asking questions. I eventually get my app to be multi-platform to run on windows and Mac by using some API abstractions which are easy to do since I had abstracted the Windows API by my own class wrappers.
I ask a lot of questions, very few are ever answered because I am not asking about simple things, like making windows and how to get button clicks and that stuff. I am asking stuff like, "How do you change the DNS? or How do I know when a user is about to log out?" Currently on my side list as I type this, I have 27 unresolved questions. I probably found workaround for most of them, or figured it out eventually.
On this forum mostly people are helpful when the do respond, except for OrangeKay. He definitely has a chip on his shoulder.
Over the past few years my Opinion of MS has improved greatly while my opinion of Macs (from the programmer's point of view) has dropped considerably. XCode still isn't as good as VS6 which is like 15 years old, never mind Dev studio 2005 or 2008. The documentation is scattered, not easy to find, occasionally wrong, or simply missing. The examples may not even compile or contain non-existent functions. It is unbelievable how bad it is.
If Steve Jobbs wants to really get a large coder population he ought to spend some of those billions (or is it trillions) of dollars on a team that will re-write the current documentation in a correct, easy to understand, with full examples, arranged in a logical manner for everyone to use. He should say, "See MSDN online? I want something like that, only better, it has to be MUCH better." Then he should say to the XCode team, "Look at DevStudio 2008. XCode should do EVERYTHING that does. Once that is done, IMPROVE XCode even more to make 2008 look like a joke."
To bad the Developer aspect of the "Apple Experience" has not gotten "End User" treatment. Then it would be a joy to develop on Macs.
So here I am asking for help on certain things. You wonder why I do not use Cocoa. Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. My first look didn't look promising, and a quick look at the docs is all about GUI's. My app has NO GUI. Again, Cocoa? Maybe it will still work, but the examples and stuff I see are all about GUIs.
When I get time, I will look at cocoa even further. MFC on windows is MOSTLY about GUI stuff, but there is a small section of it that does not deal with GUIs. CString is a great MFC class. I had to get rid of it though cause Mac's do not have a similar class. I use CStdString which is a platform agnostic CString replacement.
I hope you are all a little more enlightened. BTW my Application which runs on Mac's and PCs on no less then 3 MILLION Machines has not crashed ONCE in the past 2 years. There have been bugs, but nothing that crashed it. The bugs were mostly unforeseen situations, like what if the guy has 15 network adapters that are all LIVE? I didn't plan for that, there were complications, the server got some strange data, but it didn't crash (My app, not the server. It crashes on occasion still). Are there bugs in my code? I am sure there are, but I do not know of any, because if I did, it would be fixed.

Windows Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize] after WDT Litetouch 'sysprep and capture'

I setup an ACER VM6620G (Win7x86) how I wanted, including disabling the administrator account and creating an administrator user "PVA"
Navigated to \\wds\DeploymentShare$\Scripts and ran the litetouch script. Chose my "Sysprep and Capture" task.
Everything went off without a hitch until I restarted the technician pc.
I got the dreaded
"Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist"
I tried to deploy the captured image to the same computer and got the same error
I've scoured the internet for solutions (Shift+10 opens command prompt. Good to know!) with no luck.
I've saved the unattend.xml and looked for errors- going as far as to install an x86 Win7 virtual machine to validate the unattend.xml file in WISM
Other information that might be useful:
I never used WISM to create an unattend.xml nor did I attach one to the image.
I didn't try to copy user profiles/settings/migrate etc
I imported the captured image to WDT. Created a standard task and added 2 nodes
-Inject Drivers
-Install Application
As a side, I've got another image that I've already injected the drivers/installed the application as a test. Everything went smoothly.

Run external Programm and capture StdIO (While Runtime!!)

Hi everybody !
I've got a little problem running an external c++ applikation out of Java.
If i execute it via 'runtime.process.exec' and getting the InputStream, the Thread will wait for the end of execution. What I get then is the complete StdIO-Output of the whole Runtime. But the C-Applikation will run about some hours (maybe days) and will send status-reports to Std-Out every 10min.
How can i get the Output (InputStream) while the Process is executing?!
Thanks !!
Peter

But how can I read the InputStream while the Processis running ??Purely a guess:
I would suspect that you are reading the input stream while the process is running; however, if the output is small the OS may be buffering it and you do not see it until it is flushed (when the process ends).
You could try a test by having the process produce a lot of output and run for relatively long time. If this works then I do not know of a way you could force the OS to flush the stdout more often.

Getting Updated image through Config manager Build and capture process

Hi guys,
Looking for some pointers on getting the almost fully patched image out of configuration manager build and capture process.
I need below pointers:
- What and where to advertise\deploy software packages target? since its a new deployment, I believe it should be targeted to all unknown computers.
- How many times should I call 'install update' step in TS and where?
- What is the best way to patch image (if something is missed out during image capture) offline (since its config manager 2012 R2). when I pull schedule update list for offline schedule, does that only pull updates that are required for that image or it
pulls everything available as updates?
- I have done offline patch of image but still once the image is deployed it pulls office updates. Looks like , offline service just injects OS patches..right?
Regards,
Regards,

- Where? That depends upon what you what. But, going by the letter of what you asked, you shouldn't deploy any applications or packages if you want them on your newly images systems, you should make them a part of the TS using Install Software and Install
Application tasks.
- How many times? You should only need one although depending upon what you are deploying and if you are using offline updates, some folks add more. I typically use two one right after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task (just like the task sequence wizard
builds for you) to update the OS and "things" in the image and one at the end to catch additional updates for apps and components added during the TS. Note that you also have to initiate an update scan cycle for additional install update tasks to work. Do
this by adding a run-command line task before the second Install Updates task with the proper WMIC incantation.
- Offline Updates only injects CBS updates into the image which are typically just core OS updates. You should also update your image though to include non-CBS updates. Using a build and catpure task sequence makes this easy.

Multiple crashes fixed by turning off hardware and Flash acceleration; very slow now. Takes five seconds to exit and still listed as a running process

A workaround was suggested by a member of the community to turn off both hardware and Flash acceleration. It worked fine (no crashes since), but runs very slowly. In particular, takes five seconds to exit and is often still listed as a running process. Very slow in connecting to Web pages, and very slow loading them because of the graphics. Very slow in loading video. I expected slower responses, but this is REALLY slow. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and an Nvidia GE Force 7800 graphics card with all the drivers updated and the plugins for Firefox mostly set on "ask to activate". Should I expect this much reduction in performance when the workaround I mentioned was put into place? If so, it's half a loaf at best. The only thing questionable is that I have two Youtube downloaders that I am trying, but I made the assumption that these were only applied when you downloaded something from Youtube.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes": do not clear the Cookies
If you clear cookies then Firefox will also try to remove cookies created by plugins and that requires to start plugin-container processes that can slow down closing Firefox.
Instead let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"

How to run process chain in day of 20 and 2 every month?

Dear all,
I have to run process chain in day of 20 and 2 every month,but the settting of PC just allow Scheduled start every month once
time.
Please tell me the way of setting process chain.
Thanks.

Hi,
(1) Create an event in the BW system
Define a system event (for example SAP_BW_TRIGGER) with Transaction SM62. Lets says it is "EVENTX". Use this even in the Process chain and execute the process chain as repeative job.
(2) Use the below lines of code in the program for calling a Fucntion which trigeres the event created above . Here in this program you will call the the Below FM if and only id the sy-datum is 20 th or 2nd of the month ( as mentioned by our friend suggested).
call function 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
exporting
eventid = EVENTX
exceptions
bad_eventid = 1
eventid_does_not_exist = 2
eventid_missing = 3
raise_failed = 4
others = 5.
endfunction.
Regards,
Anil Kumar Sharma .P

ProgressIndicator and hourglass for long running processes

Hi all,
Iam using Oracle ADF 10g with EJBs.
I have a long running process for which I want to give the user an indication of its progress. The process is run upon clicking a submit button.
I have tested the use of the combination of progressIndicator + poll according to the example of Gerger consulting( http://gergerconsulting.blogspot.com/2007/04/adf-faces-progressindicator-example-for.html) but it did not work. The problem is that my long running process hangs the page and the progress bar does not work until the process has finished.
I have seen a similar post in this foum (Re: How to run long background jobs in ADF applications where a user complains that there is not an Oracle method for running asynchronous processes from Oracle ADF.
I've tested to isolate my asynchronous process with the progressIndicator + poll in a single ADF page. The process is being activated from an invokeAction from the executables of the pagedef file. But again the process hangs the page and the progressIndicator does not display at all.
So I have abandoned the idea of the progress indicator and Iam thinking of using an hourglass.
Is there an example or guidelines of how I can do it?

Thanks John for your reply,
Iam still working on the progressIndicator. I have read the discussion thoroughly quite many times.
One thing I have not yet figured out from your discussion is how you manage to create the long-running-process thread within an action method within the managed bean and make the thread still be active, while the parent action method has finished.
Usually the managed beans attached to a .jspx pages has request scope. So a commandButton's action method (that will spawn the long running thread) will finish much earlier than the thread and it will kill the thread.
Thanks,
Dimitris

Hi Drgeert-
The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
You probably need a new hub.

Tools for running process flows and mappings

The operations/production area is responsible for running process flows and mappings in a day by day base. As developer, I need to implement a solution that allow them run these artifacts. For this purpose, is there any tool apart from Control Center ????
Thnks

The scripts you mentioned (sqlplus_exec_background_template.sql and sqlplus_exec_template.sql) can be used for command line execution of mappings.
We do not run these in Oracle Workflow, as we already have an enterprise scheduling platform, Redwood Cronacle in our case. (Also one finds AppWorx and others in this area, see e.g. http://www.bmc.com/USA/Corporate/attachments/BMC_Article2.pdf)
