Running Programs with Screen Closed

I cant figure out how to run programs with my screen closed. For instance, I'm signed on AIM and I close the screen and when I open it back up, I'm no longer signed on AIM. It's very frustrating. Any type of assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there any phone number available that will connect me directly with customer service?

Unfortunately, unlike PC counterparts, your laptop has 1 function with the laptop on, and screen closed - Sleep.
Sleep can be reversed with closing the lid as described above, having an EXTERNAL mouse and or keyboard and activating the computer that way.
It is really designed to run closed when use with a large display - that is what that feature is.
Unfortunately you either have to keep your lid open, or accept the fact that you won't be on AIM when you close the lid.
Now please don't get offended with the last part I have to say about AIM:
I used to hate the fact that when I closed the lid, I was kicked off AIM. I now love it. The reality is that none of us are really all THAT important that signing out of AIM is the end of the world. There's email, and there's the telephone if someone has something emergent, urgent, important, or barely important to tell someone.
I feel like AIM has dumbed down communication as we know it, creating a world of "acquaintances" and "buddies" instead of "friends".
Like I said, please take no offense, i just think we all deserve time away from AIM...
Sorry there aren't any other solutions for you.

Program with screens in background

Hello everyone.
I've created a program in abap with screens (no report).
Is it possible to run this in background.
I would like to have a checkbox that say 'background process'.
If it's checked and the uses clicks the process button, the program must run as background job.
Is there anyway to accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance !
Merijn.

HI Merijn.
There are three ways that you can schedule the program in background. Condtion is you have to create another program for it
1. Go for the Report where you use the JOB_OPEN , Submit your report and Job_close. Then program would run in background.
Here you can give our parameters on the screen.
2. Create a report program. Use the submit statement in it with all selection screen parameters.
Then schedule the Background job in the SM36 and process it in SM37.
3. You can record the BDC and schedule the background job.
For all these it require new executable program to be created. I Guess are the only possible ways.

Run iTunes with MacBook closed

I'd like to close my Macbook but still be able to listen to music...is there a way to keep it running with the screen closed??/Philip

Try using Insomniax it should allow you to do what you want. Be sure the rear vent is not blocked and be sure to not carry your MacBook in a bag while it is on but closed. This could cause it to overheat.

Trying to run programs with java 1.4.2_07 after upgrading Eclipse

Hi All,
I'm using Eclipse version 3.1.0 and java 5.0 (1.5.0_03). I changed the JRE of a program back to 1.4.2_07, but when i try to run it i get this:

Also, another thing people may want to try. A coworker was having a problem where she kept getting the unsupported major minor version error from eclipse after upgrading to the latest version of java.
All the configuration settings were correct, pointing to the latest vm. I tried starting eclipse with the parameter
-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
and it worked just fine. Without this, it was apparently finding some conflict between jdk1.5 and the older jdk1.4.
IDE's are nice, but I find configuring them after an upgrade to be exremely painful.

Stop Running Programs with Java

Does anyone know how to stop a non-Java program that is currently running on a PC?

Hi,
did you started the programm from your java app with proc = Runtime.getRuntime.exec()?
If yes, you can kill it with
proc.destroy()If not, there is no platform-independent way to do it.
Best regards,

Opening file to automatically open and run program with input file

My program has the ability to save and open a text file with a custom extension. How do I make the system in which the program is being installed to recognize this file to open the program, AND how to I gather the input file in my program and load it.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok I have found on a different thread how to setup/register the file path association in the classes root. What I don't understand is how my program will know what the input file is. For example, the reg setting is C:/.../MyProgram.exe %1
When my program loads, is the %1 in the argc/argv part of the main thread? And if so, how do I debug/test this?
Thanks

I know that i am meant to us Public Static Void Main (String arg) but when i do this i get error "this can be referenced as static". Here is the source, do you know how to fix this.(an how can i?)
Thnx

HT2188 I bought my iPhone 4s Nov. 20. I updated immediately to ios6.0 and cannot make it through even 1 day without the battery going down to almost zero. Thats with apps closed, wifi off, screen off, etc. It's a horror. I have to constantly keep char

I purchased an iPhone 4s on Nov. 20th. I immediately had to update the software to ios 6.0.1. I cannot even get through 1 day without the phone battery losing all power. It loses 10-20% per hour, and that's with apps closed, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen dark, updates current, etc. You can hold the phone in your hand and watch the power go down. It also gets very warm. I have to charge it once or twice a day so I have it when I need it.
I took it in to the Sprint store for diagnostics to see if there was something wrong with the phone. They said the phone is ok, but one of the agents said it's the last update - he has had problems ever since. He said he thought they are working on fixing it & we should be getting another update to fix it. Is this true? I sure hope so! They also showed me how to reboot the phone, especially when it gets so warm. Is there anything else I need to do? Please help!
This is my first iPhone and I am very frustrated and disappointed in Apple. If it's the software, I would think they would be frantically trying to fix it. This phone was not the cheapest phone, so the battery life should be better!

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

How to save varaint in a report program with tabstrip in selection-screen

Hi Gurus,
We have a custom report program and selection screen of this program has a tabstrip of 9 tabs. This program will run in background job and we are facing problem to save variant for this report program.
We saved one variant with 'TAB2' populated. But when we execute the report and select that variant and we are not navigated to 'TAB2' automatically. So, code for TAB2 is not triggerd and we are not getting desired output.
When we set this program with variant in Job, program is not navigated to 'TAB2' as per variant setup.
Is there any way to save variant for this kind of report ?
Please help with your suggestions
Thanks & Regards
Chandan

Thanks for your help.
I found during debugging that it is holding the sy-ucomm of the first tab as default value. So, I declared a new field in selection screen with No-Display option. When user will select a tab, this new field will hold the value of that sy-ucomm. As this field is in selection screen, it is getting stored in variant also.
In start-of-selection of program I am checking this field value and accordingly set the TABSTRIP.
Thanks again for your help.....
Regards,
Chandan

Telnet with Run Program Activity

Hello Experts,
I have a quick question with respect to the Run Program Activity. Is it possible to have a telnet session with the run program activity without loosing the connection ?
So my first activity will be the telnet connection. Once the connection is established I will then execute a command to get the output.
However, when I execute the runbook it establishes the connection and closes it immediately. As a result the next command does not get executed. When I throw the output to a text file, it says invalid command which means that the telnet session gets closed.
Is there any other way to do this ?
Regards,
Abdul Karim. (http://sites.google.com/site/scomblogs Twitter:@Abdul_SCOM)

Hello,
Yes I tried the same with SSH and the activity still fails.
I also tried pwershell script, however the .Net Activity fails saying telnet is unrecognized command.
So how are we to achieve telnet commands using SSH or Run Program Activity.
Is it supported in the first place ? If I only have a run program activity to telnet and I try to capture the output in a text file, I see that the telnet session itself fails and the exit code is -1.
If I use something like dir or ipconfig/flushdns etc they all return exit code of 0.
Moreover, for telnet sessions since it will be based on a unique process ID, how can we configure the next set of command using the same ID ?
