Script review

I am new to scripting and have asked lots of "newbie" questions. Would anyone be interested in doing a review of the attached script and providing feedback?
The premise of the script is to put a caller directly into queue (after holiday, DOW, TOD check), the caller holds for up to 3 minutes but should be able to press 1 at any point to leave a voicemail. What is not in the script is 1)announcing a caller's position in queue and 2)the redirect to voicemail is some random number until I get the system call handlers built.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Remember: first time/insane thinking/no programming skills.

Aaron,
Comments on your script are as follows:
In the Connected branch of the Select Resource step you do not need to mark the call as handled as the system will do that for you if the call is answered by the agent
You can route calls to voicemail boxes directly by transferring calls to the voicemail pilot number and modifing the destination to be the mailbox number
You don't seem to loop back to "DAY QUEUE LOOP" when a call is in queue, is this by design?
As you progress to writing more complex scripts, you might consider learning to leverage XML for those dynamic parameters that change. It saves having application pages with dozens of parameters on them.

"Hot Folder to FTP" script review please

I'm trying to make a folder on my Mac that is a "Hot Folder." I want this folder to have an action/script that as soon as it sees a new file added it will open Fetch and upload via mirror to an FTP folder.
I was able to make the Fetch portion of the script without issue, but making the folder "Hot" is a bit more difficult for me. I tried to use some script from the sample script "add - new item alert" but have been unsuccessful. I'm hoping some of you Applescript pros can review this and tell me how to correct. Or perhaps you know of a better way to make this work with automator.
SCRIPT:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
--get the name of the folder
set the folder_name to the name of this_folder
end tell
-- find out how many new items have been placed in the folder
set the item_count to the number of items in the added_items
--create the alert string
if the item_count is greater than 1 then
tell application "Fetch"
activate
make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:"ftp.hostname.here", username:"myusername", password:"mypassword", initial folder:"/pub/pao/images/"}
mirror alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Bill:Desktop:test:" to url "ftp://myusername:@ftp.hostname.here/pub/pao/images/" format Automatic without delete strays
end tell
end if
end try
end adding folder items to
Thank you all!

Well, the most obvious problem is:
if the item_count is greater than 1 then
If you drop a single file into the folder, nothing will happen. That's because item_count will be 1, not greater than 1.
If you don't care about how many files were dropped (because Transmit's mirror function will just synchronize the differences, then omit this line altogether - the script won't fire unless at least one file was added.

How can I turn off the automatic reload/refresh on websites like Drudge Report?

These sites refresh about every few minutes are this is annoying when I'm in the middle on reading something.

The Drudge Report site uses a JavaScript timer to reload the page every 3 minutes.
You can cancel the timer on that website with this bookmarklet. 
 
<pre><nowiki>javascript:clearInterval(timer);void(autoRefresh=null);

The background colour bar below Mozilla Firefox Start Page is black and I can see the print. Only Web is showing in white and images, news, etc. is not visible. What to do

There is an items bar which allows one to go directly to the news. The bar items are: Web, Images, Videos, Maps, News, Shopping, more.. The background color was either white or gray with blue print. Now the background color is black and I can barely see the items to click on. I downloaded Firefox twice and the problem is the same.

That is a Google experiment:

Data Miner Extension in SQL Developer 4.0 EA3 Release: EA3 Repository Migration Failure

The Data Miner extension in the SQL Developer 4.0 EA3 release fails when attempting to migrate the repository to EA3. This posting contains instructions on how to recover from this failure as well as to successful migrate the repository from EA2 to EA3. There are no problems when just installing a fresh Data Miner repository.
Sorry about the difficulty if this has caused you any problems.
Mark
Failure message displayed in log when migrating to EA3:
Error report -
ORA-06550: line 96, column 40:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 96, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
Instructions on how to recover from failure and continue using original version of SQL Developer:
1) Execute the following sql as SYS in order to allow the Data Miner repository to be open for use again:
UPDATE ODMRSYS.ODMR$REPOSITORY_PROPERTIES
SET PROPERTY_STR_VALUE = 'LOADED'
WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = 'REPOSITORY_STATUS';
COMMIT;
2) During attempted migrationto EA3 failed, access priviliges to the Data Miner repository are revoked from users. In order to use Data Miner again, these grants must be reapplied. You can either use the UI guided process to accomplish this, which requires the SYS password, or you can run the usergrants.sql script, again as the SYS user. For instructions on how to run the usergrants.sql script, or any adminstrative script, review the instructions contained in the install_scripts_readme.html file. You can find this file in the SQL Developer directories created when you unzipped SQL Developer. It is located in the following relative directory: \<SQL Developer Install Directory>\sqldeveloper\dataminer\scripts.
Instructions on how to successfully migrate to EA3.
If you have already attempted to migrate to EA3 and failed, then you need to perform the recovery instructions noted above, after which you can continue with the instructions below.
If you have not yet attempted to migrate to EA3, then just following the instructions below.
1) Replace all contents the script file createxmlworkflowsbackup.sql with specification contained at the end of this posting. The file to edit can be found in the \<SQL Developer Install Directory>\sqldeveloper\dataminer\scripts directory.
2) After completing the edit to createxmlworkflowsbackup.sql, you can proceed with the UI guided migration or perform the migration using the appropriate migration script. Review the install_scripts_readme.html file in the /dataminer/scripts directory for instructions on how to perform the migration using the script. For the UI migration, simply open any user connection in your Data Miner navigator, and you will be prompted to perform the migration.

Flash Player - Disable Hardware Acceleration - Apple TV-Mac OS 10.4.7/Firefox

Hello all,
I have been going down a fun path getting my 1st Generation Apple TV (160 GB HD) to run Hulu natively (without PlayOn restreaming). After fun times getting Firefox and Flash Player working, I blasted through setting up Hulu Widget to keep the video size small (Apple TV in 480p defaults to an 800x600 res).   Things look pretty good. I maxed out buffering/cache for all Hulu related sites within Global settings, this produced nice improvements. I found a GreaseMonkey script that forces the Flash Player to always render Low Quality video. This helps immensely at stopping stuttering with little trade off in quality. My last piece to try to tweak video playback (aside from monkeying around with the OS X kernel) is the disable Hardware Acceleration.
BUT, I am having a major problem with mouse support or something. Everytime I bring up the Display settings via a Right Click, I cannot uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration". Surprisingly clicking it 500 times still does not make it uncheck.
I have searched high and low but have not found a clearcut way to disable it via script or other non-interactive means.
I wonder if there might be a javascript that could be plugged into GreaseMonkey to accomplish the end goal.   This blog and Adobe document refer to the wmode parameter and how to use it to disable HA.
http://niquimerret.com/?p=159
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_1_hardware_acceleration.html
I am thinking perhaps I can take the Low Quality JS (http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/38994) and replace "quality" with "wmode". Am I on track?    It seems "opaque" might be the right one. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html
There is a case related to my question: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5748
Any tips, clues, pointers, commiserations?

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,

The bar at the top of the page wich displays ,WEB, IMAGES. VIDIO etc is now black Why

The bar at the top of the page wich displays ,WEB, IMAGES. VIDIO ect is now with a black background which is hard to see,why would the colour have changed and can I change it back?

I did some investigation yesterday and found that is is caused by a change made by Google.
Google regularly does some experiments and makes changes.

Using slide notes for closed captioning

Is there any way to import slide notes into closed
captioning? In our Captivates we use the slide notes to create a
script for the narration. This is exactly what we'd want to have
appear in the closed captioning, but currently we have to copy and
paste the notes for each slide into the closed captioning dialog.
Futzy and time consuming! Does anyone have suggestions for
streamlining this process?
Thanks!
Judi

Judi,
I don't think there is a way to import slide notes into the
closed captions. But, I'm using the Closed Captions to create a
script document for the audio.
1. I import a blank MP3 onto the slide.
2. Right click the audio layer in the timeline, and then
click Closed Captions.
3. Type in the desired text you want displayed in the closed
captions.
4. Save the project.
5. Export the the project captions and closed captions to a
Word Doc.
6. Have the script reviewed and edited.
7. Import that same document back into Captivate. Your closed
captions will be automatically updated.
This is a nice way to create a design (script) document you
can use to send out for review instead of placing your scripts in
the slide notes section.
Hope this helps.

Stored Outline Creation script for review

One error i didn't suspect -> don't using SID with lowercase and uppercase in the name.
Thing i've forgotten to say: variables have to be set both in the .bat and the first .sql but they have to match too with values in the init.ora. That why i would like to simplify all these declarations with unifying them into a single file.
If somebody can help me, please

Does my client need to have Adobe Story to review my script?

In one of the Adobe video's, Paul Trani shows how we can share a script. I can only presume that whoever gets the script, must have Adobe Story installed to be able to review the script. What does my client need to be able to review my script.
Thanks,
Kuhnen

Partially, yes. When you share your script with your client, he/she can access it in Adobe Story. But for that installation is not necessary, he/ she can access it through the web application (https://story.adobe.com). What your client requires is - an account with Adobe Story and an internet connection.
You can also export your script in one of the formats available and send it across.
Hope it helps

Are the seperating DROP rules redundant ? Setting standard dropping policy is enough, right ?

To my knowledge a package that does not match any rules will be matched against the default policy, so you do not have to drop everything explicitly.
And you have a double
# Block invalid ICMP packets
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state -p icmp --state INVALID -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state -p icmp --state INVALID -j DROP
Which - if my previous statement is correct - you shouldn't need at all (the DROP rules, that is).
I don't get why you're specifying this again either:
# Make sure nothing comes or goes out of this box
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -j DROP
You already set policies, to me this looks like twice the work...
Also, keep in mind iptables will treat the rules chronologically. So first you define what's allowed, then you define what's blocked. It will work its way down the rules until it finds a match, if not, it will resort to the default policy.
Edit: Bash is in /bin on Arch, not /usr/bin.

Please review OS Builder scripts

Hi all,
I published my project here for building a system from scratch:
https://github.com/walterjwhite/OS-builder
It currently supports building Arch / Funtoo / Gentoo images. It will install software, configure the system (apply an overlay of configuration files), run configuration commands, setup users and groups I will have to show a sample 'system' configuration to illustrate how it works. I was looking for feedback regarding the scripts to see: 1, is there a similar thing that does a better job, 2, if the community would think it would be useful.
This is similar to the archiso / archbuild scripts but handles much more configuration on top of that. It still does have some hard-references, but it can be adapted.
I use this to periodically generate systems to use and at the same time keep a running backup of my system with all the configuration steps applied.
Thanks,
Walter

Thank you for taking the time out.

I may be being dense here...how are your gpa and earned hours stored in your tables? Do you need a max(gpa) function and a calculation summing earned hours?

Please review the RMAN script and throw any comments which will increase KB

Dear Sirs:
I would be grateful if anyone in this forum checks whether the RMAN strategy taken by me is OK or require any room for improvement. I have not yet
moved into production.
Environment: ORACLE 10G R2 running on RAC, RHEL 4.0 for Intel Itanium. RMAN script runs every night at 10PM from node 1 of 2.
ASM is used and all datafiles, controlfiles, arc, redo in SAN
Process:
<1> Empty folder "PreviousdayBackup
<2> Move backup of yesterday night to "PreviousdayBackup"
<3> Execute RMAN the script provided below.
run {
 backup
 filesperset=15
 incremental level 0
 spfile format '/archive/backup/rman/spfile_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'spfile_backup'
 database format '/archive/backup/rman/data_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'full_data_backup';
 crosscheck backup;
 sql 'alter system archive log current';
 crosscheck archivelog all;
 backup filesperset 288 format '/archive/backup/rman/cscdb_data_archive_%d_%u' archivelog all delete input;
 delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
 delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
 delete noprompt obsolete;
 backup current controlfile format '/archive/backup/rman/%d_data_control_%s_%p_%u' tag 'control_file';
The Tape runs at 3:00AM in the morning and takes all the files from '/archive/backup/rman/'
_*RMAN Configuration*_
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/archive/backup/rman/ctrl_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/product/1020/db_1/database/snapcf_cscdb1.f';
I am also not getting the concepts properly on :
delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
Is the delete within the RMAN pieces or within the folder. It would be great if someone can explain me on these
Awaiting for your kind response

Hi emre baransel :
Step 1: Delete from folder "previousdaybackup"
Step 2: Move last night backup from "/archive/backup/rman" to "previousdaybackup"
Step 3: Run RMAN and backup is stored at "/archive/backup/rman"
Stpe 4: Data is backed up to DLT cartridge from "/archive/backup/rman"
The folder "/archive/backup/rman" is a separate partition from SAN mounted in the LINUX SYSTEM as ext3
Why did you chose filesperset=15, do you have specific purpose?Well I am looking at existing RMAN in the place and not changing any basic configuration. Frankly speaking I do not have answer to this.
I have changed the RMAN commands as
run {
 backup
 filesperset=15
 incremental level 0
 spfile format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\spfile_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'spfile_backup'
 database format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\data_%d_%s_%T.bak' tag 'full_data_backup';
 crosscheck backup;
 sql 'alter system archive log current';
 crosscheck archivelog all;
 backup filesperset 288 format 'D:\archive\backup\rman\cscdb1\cscdb_data_archive_%d_%u' archivelog all not backed up 2 times;
 delete noprompt archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-7';
 delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
 delete noprompt obsolete;
I feel that I will be in a safer side.
Please provide comments. Anything that will increase knowledge base and will educate others too in this forum.
regards,
caesar
