Set DISPLAY through rc2.d script

Hi Admins,
I need to set the DISPLAY system level so I have created a script in /etc/rc2.d and placed the following lines
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0;
/usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb :0 &
But this doesn't seem to set the display correctly. But the x server is starting without an issue.
When I tried to see the display as,
# echo $DISPLAY , it shows blank.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dushank

The variables set in RC scripts wont be inherited to the shell. If you set $DISPLAY in a rc-script, it will only be set in that very specific script, and it will only exist during the life time of the script.
To set a variable at shell level, you need to add it to a /etc/profile or the appropriate config file for your shell (i.e. .kshrc, .cshrc, .bashrc and so on).

  • Applescript: set display alert to false

    I am opening excel file with application "Numbers" and I receive the document warning alert box. I wish to ignore (set to false) these warning alerts. I've scripted:
    tell application "Numbers"
    set display alert to false
    (more stuff)
    end tell
    ...but I get a compile error on line 2
    please help. thanks

    I have looked through the Numbers Applescript dictionary and dont see any property called "display alert" taht can be set to false.
    I know that property works in Excel, however i dont think it exists in numbers.
    not sure how to accomplish this.

  • Page wise display through a query

    hi all,
    i have a 3 records displayed block and i have more than 30 rows/records from a select query.
    i want display all the data page wise one by one by clicking specified 4 buttons .
    i have 4 buttons 1st for first page, 2nd for nest page, 3rd for last page and 4th for previous page.
    how can i do this page wise query display through programming in oracle forms 10g.
    for a query you can take (select * from emp;)
    can anybody help me to do this.

    Base your block on query, execute-query and scroll using following:
    For first and last page buttons :
    first_record;
    last_record; Next page and Prev page requires little more coding...
    Next Page:
    go_record(:system.cursor_record + get_block_property('block',RECORDS_DISPLAYED ));Prev Page:
    go_record(get_block_property('block',TOP_RECORD)- get_block_property('block',RECORDS_DISPLAYED ));Also take a look in forms help on scroll_up , scroll_down buit-in. They do not do exactly page up/down, but may be it's good enough for you
    Make sure buttons set as Mouse Navigate=No

  • Enable display through Putty on Linux

    Hi All,
    I need am trying to enable the Xmanger windows through putty in my Linux box, I have tried different options but still I am not able to get the display through putty
    Here is what I have done:
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    [oracle@yblpvdakgrid ~]$ xhost +
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    xhost:  unable to open display ":0.0"
    AND
    [oracle@yblpvdakgrid ~]$  export DISPLAY=10.0.x.x:0.0
    [oracle@yblpvdakgrid ~]$ xhost +
    xhost:  unable to open display "10.0.x.x:0.0"
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Try undesrant what mean each steps.
    Variable DISPLAY define where put output.
    export DISPLAY=:0.0  - This mean that you try put output on local display of your server.
    Correct:
    export DISPLAY=<ip_ of_ workstation_Xmanager>:0.0
    In this case X-session will use  own IP connections without encryption.
    SSH can forward X-sessions inside ssh connections.
    In this case you should not define variable DISPLAY. Check that profile script not redefined DISPLAY.
    SSH server will do it automaticaly.  For check:
    echo $DISPLAY

  • Unable to pass parameter in oracle procedure through unix shell script

    Hi Experts,
    I have oracle procedure where in I have to pass the value of procedure parameter through unix script.
    Follwoing is the sample procedure which i tried to exceute from the unix.
    Procedure:
    create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) AS
    sql_stmt varchar2(1000) := NULL;
    v_count number := 0;
    v_owner varchar2(100) := owner;
    begin
    sql_stmt:='select count(1) from '||v_owner||'.EMP@infodb where rownum<=10';
    execute immediate sql_stmt into v_count;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sql_stmt);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_count);
    END;The script which I used is:
    Unix
    #!/bin/ksh
    parm=$1
    echo start
    sqlplus -s scott@DEV/tiger <<EOF >>result_1.txt
    set serveroutput on;
    select '$parm' from dual;
    exec owner.PRC_TESTING_OWNER('$parm');
    EOFThe script is working fine that is i am able to pass to parameter value through unix shell script. :)
    But if I want to pass the value of the owner in cursor , I am unable to pass this value through unix.
    Following the procedure which i am trying to implement.
    create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) IS
    v_owner varchar2(100) := owner;
    CURSOR main_cur IS 
      select
      i.ROWID  rid ,
      emp_name,
      deptid

    CURSOR subset_cur(c_deptid NUMBER ) IS
        SELECT *
          FROM v_owner.DEPT d
          where  d.dept_id=c_deptid;
    --##main loop     
    FOR i IN main_cur LOOP
          FOR j IN subset_cur(i.deptid) LOOP     
    BEGIN
    insert into v_owner.RESULT_TABLE
    END;
    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;How can i pass parameter value of the stored procedure through unix script(that is "owner" in this case), when these parameter value is
    used in cursor? :(
    Can anybody help me regarding the same?
    Thanks in Advance !! :D

    It's not the parameter in the cursor that is the problem, it's that you are trying to use static SQL for something that won't be known until run time (the owner of the table).
    You would need to use something like ...
    declare
       l_owner        varchar2(30) := 'SCOTT';
       l_ref_cursor   sys_refcursor;  
       type l_ename_tab is table of scott.emp.ename%type;
       l_ename_array  l_ename_tab;
    begin
       open l_ref_cursor for
          'select ename
          from ' || l_owner || '.emp';
       loop
          fetch l_ref_cursor bulk collect into l_ename_array limit 10;
          exit when l_ename_array.COUNT = 0;
          for x in 1 .. l_ename_array.count
          loop
             dbms_output.put_line(l_ename_array(x));
          end loop;
       end loop;
       close l_ref_cursor;
    end;

  • Load Balancing ITS on ERP 2005 displayed through EP 7.0

    We are having trouble setting up our Cisco ACE load balancer for ITS on ERP 2005 displayed through EP 7.0.  The help documentation is a little confusing as to whether ITS does its load balancing by itself, or with ERP 2005, you need an external load balancer.  Does ITS on ERP 2005 provide load balancing?
    If it does not, we need an external load balancer and are trying to figure out how to configure the ACE tool for that, particularly around session persistence.  Since we are also doing reverse proxy, we would need to use session cookies to key the sticky round-robin load balancing off of.  The documentation is a little vague on what the cookie variable is for ITS sessions.  Can anyone point me to detailed instructions on how to do this?

    #First, you need to import ActiveDirectory Module
    Import-Module ActiveDirectory
    #Second, generate a SecureString which contains the password.
    $securePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "P@ssw0rd!" -Force -AsPlainText
    #Third, find the Active Directory users ,and use Set-ADAccountPassword for resetng the password.

  • Setting DISPLAY for Reports60 server on Solaris

    Hello,
    Where can I find instructions on how to set the DISPLAY variable for my starting script of the reports60 server?
    Everything works fine when I set DISPLAY to a workstation running an XWindows client session, but I don't want to rely on that solution. I want to point to a server.
    Thanks in advance...
    Paul.

    Paul,
    You should be able to use either xvfb or vnc as headless servers. I think that the instructions for this are included in the iAS release notes. If you can't find anything there or in Metalink then let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.
    Thanks

  • How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?

    Hi,experts,
    In jdev 11.1.2.3,
    I drag and drop a task-flow into a jsf page to create a Region,
    and set display size for the region, source code as:
    ===================
    <f:facet name="second">
    <af:decorativeBox theme="medium" id="db1">
    <f:facet name="center">

    </af:panelGroupLayout>
    </f:facet>
    </af:decorativeBox>

    =================
    But, the Region is only showed a small fraction area on the parent jsf page whenever during design or run time.
    How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    the decorative box is supposed to stretch components in the center facet, so at runtime the region should stretch. Can you try with a static region to see if this is an issue with dynamic regions?
