Send XMPP commands - is this possible?
Is it possible to send XMPP commands from the Messages app? I'm thinking of commands such as /me, /nick etc. but also the application specific commands you can send to server applications (such as Jenkins).
It's possible from Pidgin (on Windows/Linux) and I'm pretty sure it's possible in Adium (just downloading that now) but, if possible, I would rather stick with just one chat program on my Mac.
I've tried issuing these commands, but they just end up being sent as literal messages, so all users simply see "/nick m0thr4" instead of "User John Smith is now known as m0thr4", as they would if I sent that command from a dedicated Jabber client.
Hi,
The Slashme (/me xxxxx) command has worked in iChat since about iChat 4.
EDIT.
The /me needs an action stated afterwards such as /me waves.
Sending from iChat 5 to Messages does show the /me waves as "Ralph Johns Waves"
Also sending from a Jabber acccount to an GoogleMail one (same sending app and same recieving app.) works
Typing just /me just sends that as text.
Messages will also send them as well as Receiving them.
I had not heard of the /nick one.

There was a problem sending a command to this program. Excel with new templates.
I have recently deployed these UEV templates for Office 2013. In particular, I'm having an issue with Excel 2013. Whenever I let UEV sync settings for this application and I click on a .xlsx file, I get the infamous "There was a problem sending
a command to this program..." error message. This drove me nuts for a week thinking there was something wrong with Excel. I finally figured out it was the Excel UEV settings causing the issue. I've tried deleing the settings package file,
but no luck. I can reproduce the issue pretty easily.MS has released hotfix for this issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2927019/.

Shut down scripts and command is this possible in OS X
In OS 9 it was possible to install things like Apple Script in the ‘Shut Down’ folder and these would be executed when the computer was told shut down.
Is there such a possibility in OS X? I have some script I would like to be executed when the user hits shut down.

OK V.K., I think I am getting in over my head.
in the article is says find this line in the ttys document:
+#console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow" vt100 on secure window=/System/Library/CoreServices/WindowServer onoption="/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"+
Mine says:

console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow" vt100 on secure onoption="/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"+
So not sure how to make the changes it suggests -
Using VI Example Basic Serial Write Read to send AT commands to Cell phone modem error 1073807360
I am using the NI Example VI: Basic Serial Write and Read to send AT commands to a Cell phone acting as a Modem. I can send AT commands to this phone using Hyperterm when I select the modem driver by name in the hypert port selection field but not as com 7 which it occupies according to device manager modem properties. The basic serial vi does not show the modem driver as a selection, only ports by comX are shown. I get error 1073807360.
Have you tried to put the name you enter in Hyperterminal in the VISA resource control? If Com 7 doesn't show, you can simply type "COM 7" in the VISA resource control. Or use "ASRL::INSTR 7".
Also, make sure the connection in hyperterminal is closed, before you open the port in LabVIEW.
Hope it helps,
Wiebe. -
I am trying to cue computers through keystroke commands using ARD
I want to know a unix shell or script command to hit keystrokes on my ARD machines.
EXAMPLE... I want machine X to press the letter K.
I am also wondering if you can send multiple commands doing this , multiple keystrokes with built in delays
Thank youWelcome,
I use the "System Events" handler, e.g.:
tell application "System Events" to delay 5.5
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "K"
tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5
tell application "System Events" to keystroke return

I updated Firefox yesterday to 3.6.9. When I receive a URL link in an email within Outlook, I cannot open the link in Firefox. As I said in the question, when I click on the link, a Microsoft Office Outlook error message appears which states that a General failure has occurred in sending the command to the application (which is Firefox). I am using Office 2007 This did not occur prior to the upgrade of Firefox.
See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything. Any work around to fix this?

I want to delete my mobile me account not just from my iPhone but from existence. I want to delete it so that no emails can be received to it, and the sender would receive an undeliverable message. Is this possible?
No, you can stop using the account, but you cannot delete it.

I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!
I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately" So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

Using iMessage 8.0 with Mavericks to send sms message to my friend who has an iPhone. Only allows me to log in under AIM, YAHOO, GOOGLE, or BONJOUR. I don't want to do any of that. Just my phone number. Is this possible?
Hi,
The first run of Messages will ask you to enter an Apple ID to "register' with iMessages.
If you do not do this but open the App and look in Preferences > Accounts then you will see the iMessages account and the Bonjour Account which will not be activated.
Neither of these two account can be deleted. (even if not being used)
If you then press the + icon to add you will get the choices you posted.
To iMessage you need to "register" and Apple ID with the iMessages service.
As Diane then points out you can link this to your iPhone number.
This "syncs" (Displays on all devices) the various iMessages sent to either iPhone or Apple ID
You can then chose on both iPhone or Mac version how or which ID/Number is going to be used to "Start the conversations from"
I have my Mac version set to start from my Apple ID and the iPhone from it's number.
At this moment the Mac version cannot send SMS text messages to an iPhone.
This is apparently coming with iOS 8 and OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
An AIM account can send SMS Messages but only to a limited number of USA based phone users on these carriers.
(Basically you add a phone number with country code +1 as a Buddy to your List)
Mocked up number (It not really an auto responder although you do get sent back and Error message about it not being valid)

Prior to the upgrade, with FFox open, I could click on a link in a message in the Ms Outlook 2010 program and then it would open in Ffox.
Now with every click, the full error message states "General failure. The URL was < url listed >. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." After the OK button another message asks "Was this information helpful?"
When click I received a choice of Yes, No, or Cancel with the response going to the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement center.
It could be a Ms error but it started after the new version of Ffox.See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!
