Running Apps in the Background 2.1?
Now that 2.1 is out can anybody confirm that the you can now run 3rd party Apps in the background? They mentioned that ability back when they introduced the iPhone 3G but I haven't heard any talk about it recently with this update. Anybody able to install the update and confirm or deny this?

They must have. No apps have been able to run in the background even on 1g iphone. Maybe because Apple realize that the battery wouldn't last 2 hours with apps running in the background.

I need help running a Pandora app in the background while on the web
I cannot run Pandora in the background while on the web
If you create a console app and place it in a executable jar file, the program will run invisably, even if you have println statements. This is cos the jar file does not launch a console window, so no output will be displayed.
Hope that is what you wanted -
My MBpro has been running some kind of app in the background upon turning on, heating up for no cause. Is this normal since Snow Lepard? It's been updated and I also have anti-virus software too.
you're welcome....
also check activity monitor - all processes - see what's using up most of your cpu resources under % CPU....
highlight anything that's really high and hit quit process......anything over 10% is considered high - unless it's your browser....
good luck... -

Run Automator in the background without status bar icon
Hello,
I hope this is the right place and thank you in advance for the help.
I am trying to run an Automator App in the background without running in the status bar as it takes the focus from the current application that I am working in. Is there a way to do this? Some Google Fu stats that I can make some changes to the info.plist of the package contents of the application by changing the LSUIElement. However when I follow those instructions, I am still unable to run the application in the background completely.
For what it is worth, I am running a brand new Mac Mini with Yosemite. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide any more detail.
Cheers!Items from various actions such as Ask for Finder Items or Get Selected Finder Items can be passed to the Run Shell Script action. Saving the workflow as an application will run it without launching Automator.
A file with a .php extension would be associated with whatever application created it (or a default application that can handle HTML files). A Unix Executable File isn't seen as an "application" by the system, so you will need to call it directly with your parameters. -

how to run form in the background from command line
vishalUmmm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

Running AppleScript in the background
Okay, yet another problem I'm having that I'm going to bug the community here with.
Is it at all possible to run AppleScript while doing other things? For example, if I wanted my AppleScript to hop online every hour and send me back information from my site could I have it do this while I do other things? Or will I have to wait until it's completed?
Say I wanted to create a script that hopped on my site and sent me the post number of the last post, could I have it do this while I do other things?
Something like
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System events"
tell process "Safari"
(enter code here to get post number and send it to me)
end tell
end tell
I've tried doing it like this and it definitely doesn't work at all if I don't have the Safari window selected at all times, so is there any way in which I can run script in the background while I work on other things or does AppleScript require full control of my computer while it's working?Save this script just like the others I posted. The script will do exactly as you asked.
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">property helloWorld : "Hello World "
global numChars, charNum, x
on run
tell application "System Events" to set isRunning to exists process "TextEdit"
if not isRunning then tell application "TextEdit" to launch
tell application "TextEdit"
if isRunning then make new document
set name of window 1 to "Hello World"
set numChars to number of characters in helloWorld
set charNum to 0
set x to 0
end tell
end run
on idle
try
tell application "TextEdit"
if x = numChars then
set x to 1
else
set x to x + 1
end if
set charNum to charNum + 1
set theChar to character x of helloWorld
set character charNum of document 1 to theChar
end tell
on error
quit
end try
return 0.1
end idle
on quit
continue quit
end quit</pre> -
Running program in the background
Hi everybody!
I need to run program in the background.
So I need only to change the sy-batch status to 'X'?HI,
if your program is runninn in the Background then the System field SY-BATCH will become 'X' otherwise it will have space ......
it will not execute the job in the background if you put SY-BATCH = 'X'
you need to use: Job_open , Job_submit and job_close function modules
example:
*Submit report as job(i.e. in background)
data: jobname like tbtcjob-jobname value
' TRANSFER TRANSLATION'.
data: jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
host like msxxlist-host.
data: begin of starttime.
include structure tbtcstrt.
data: end of starttime.
data: starttimeimmediate like btch0000-char1.
Job open
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
exporting
delanfrep = ' '
jobgroup = ' '
jobname = jobname
sdlstrtdt = sy-datum
sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit
importing
jobcount = jobcount
exceptions
cant_create_job = 01
invalid_job_data = 02
jobname_missing = 03.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
"error processing
endif.
Insert process into job
SUBMIT zreport and return
with p_param1 = 'value'
with p_param2 = 'value'
user sy-uname
via job jobname
number jobcount.
if sy-subrc > 0.
"error processing
endif.
Close job
starttime-sdlstrtdt = sy-datum + 1.
starttime-sdlstrttm = '220000'.
call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
exporting
event_id = starttime-eventid
event_param = starttime-eventparm
event_periodic = starttime-periodic
jobcount = jobcount
jobname = jobname
laststrtdt = starttime-laststrtdt
laststrttm = starttime-laststrttm
prddays = 1
prdhours = 0
prdmins = 0
prdmonths = 0
prdweeks = 0
sdlstrtdt = starttime-sdlstrtdt
sdlstrttm = starttime-sdlstrttm
strtimmed = starttimeimmediate
targetsystem = host
exceptions
cant_start_immediate = 01
invalid_startdate = 02
jobname_missing = 03
job_close_failed = 04
job_nosteps = 05
job_notex = 06
lock_failed = 07
others = 99.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
"error processing
endif.
Thanks

How to run long running report in the background
Oracle Application server 10g
I need to run the long running reports in the background because while the report is running the cursor is loading and the control doesn't return to the user
this feature exist in oracle 6i by set the following parameter
RUN_PRODUCT( REPORTS, 'r_1', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
How can I accomplish the same in OAS 10g?Hi,
I've done this in 11g. I think it will be the same in 10g as well
Following are the steps in 11g using run_report_object.
1. Read metalink note: Using the Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table and API - RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE [ID 72531.1]
2. Implement RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE table as per above notes.
3. When submitting report run it as background
a. SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS); -
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_COMM_MODE , BATCH);
4. Display the job_id to user (notification).
5. Create a new form to view reports base on on RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE which provides you the status, etc.... (you may have to create a way to identify the username who submitted the job. This way not all users will see the jobs in RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE )
6. Optionally you can use NOTIFYSUCCESS=email to notify user when the report is finished.
Cheers

Run Servlet in the background (Daemon)
Hi all ,
I am using Apache Tomcat/5.0.25 container.
Need some advice regarding running servlet at the background or as daemon . Below is the scope of the program :
The servlet will do a updating in the database in the background every 5 minute.
Any ideas how to implement such behaviour using servlet ?
Thanks.
Wee Tathi..
Make a thread and initialize in the init method of ur servlet.
And make another thread so that it wakes up every five minutes and does the database processing..
so ur servlet always has a thread which invokes the other thread(database accesing thread)..
here is the code sample ..
Thread t = new Thread( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Thread dbHandler = new DBHAndler(..);
dbHandler .start();
try {
t.start();
catch(IllegalThreadStateException e) { }
hopefully it works..
regards

Is there anyway I can run OC4J in the background as an NT service?
Thanks in advance.I took the approach above, and my experience was only partially successful. With some scrounging around newsgroups, orionsupport.com, and Sun's website, I came up with the following solution:
Creating an NT Service for OC4J
OC4J by default runs as a command shell application, so it is bound to a user's login session and will die if the user who called the start command logs off of the system. Oracle has not provided a version of OC4J that runs as a service on Windows-based servers, so here is a process to create a service using the freeware utility, RunExeSvc (http://www.winwinsoft.com/goodies/RunExeSvc/index.html). This utility is more user-friendly and flexible than tools such as srvany.exe and instsrv.exe in the NT Resource Kit.
Dependencies
1. RunExeSvc is installed
(Unzip the runexesvc.zip file to a directory)
2. Sun's JDK 1.3.1 is installed.
(JDK 1.3.1 is required because a bug in prior versions of Sun's JVM for Windows killed any JVMs initiated by a user in that login session.)
Installation Procedure
1. Run the RunExeSvcAdmin.exe application
2. Create a new service by copying the example script below into the Script window of RunExeSvcAdmin.exe. Some changes to drives and/or paths may of course be needed.
3. Save the new entry and exit the application.
4. The service should now appear in the services control panel. Changes may be required for its startup options.
Example Script#########################
# This script runs OC4J
# RunExeSvc variables
# if true, RunExeSvc will show internal status
debug=false
# the starting dir of the service
home=e:\oc4j\j2ee\home
# Running as an http server.
cmdline=e:\jdk1.3.1\bin\javaw.exe -Xrs -jar orion.jar -out e:\oc4j_out.log -err e:\oc4j_err.log

How run OC4J in the background
Hello!
How can I run oc4j in the background(without a window open) on a solaris box?
I have tried 'nohup java -jar oc4j.jar &' but the startup seems to hang when I do this.
Any ideas?Make sure you can write to nohup.out in the current directory.
Also, I typically start my OC4J in /etc/init.d from my solaris machine and that seems to work nicely.
Also try putting the 2>&1 at the end instead of in the middle.
Of you could try using CSH vs. SH, some google hits mention that makes life easier.

Do I have to close all background apps (i.e. apps which appear in multitasking) before turning off my iPad?
Is it safe to shut it down while having these apps in the background?
When you shut down operating systems like MS Windows or Mac OS, they automatically close your active applications before shutting down, is this true for iOS 7?stedman1
lizdance40
Thanks, I do appreciate your immediate response to my question.
BUT your answers revealed an explicit controversy about background apps ... close them to save power and performance OR don't bother to close them as they are idle or inactive!
This dispute is resolved by APPLE in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
My original question was: Is it necessary to kill background apps before shutting down my ipad to avoid any harm to the apps or the OS?
