Setting $TMPDIR

I've removed /var/folder/ for some reasone, and, after that, I found my preview is not working, and copy and paste is not working, and temporary files are starting to reside in root directory.
After looking through the some threads, I found I've removed system's temporary folder, which is designated as $TMPDIR.
I've made the /var/folder and set the permission correctly, but, now, it seems like $TMPDIR is not set correctly. 'echo $TMPDIR' gives me nothing. That might be why some temporary files are being made in the root directory, but still some functions are not working correctly due to permission issue. Does anyone have idea how can I set this variable correctly?
Thanks

Karunya,
I added tmpdir="C:\Program Files\Premise\BMD Client 4.0.1\temp" to my EXEs INI file. I then restarted the EXE and the files I mentioned were still being written to C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Local Settings\Temp.
No example. This happened with LabVIEW 8.5 as well. That is, going to Tools>>Options>>Paths and setting the Temporary Directory to something other than the default. Then restarting LabVIEW. Saw the addition of tmpdir in the LabVIEW.ini file, but no apparent effect to LabVIEW itself.

Mutt/Offlineimap Sent mail is showing up in Gmail Inbox

Hi,
I am just starting my journey with mutt and quite like the interface thus far but I am having trouble with sent emails showing up in my Gmail inbox. It is a little annoying to always have my sent emails appear as unread in my inbox. In my search for a solution I have found that this behavior sometimes occurs if you have Gmail filters that are set to never send to spam, I checked and do not have any such filters. This could also happen if I had $record set, but I have specifically unset record. My muttrc and offlineimaprc are as follows (I used several tutorial sites to help create these) (I have hashed out some personal details):
muttrc
# Paths ----------------------------------------------

I use msmtp to send the emails (and they do send) but as far as I know that program should have nothing to do with my folder labeling.
What happens exactly: When in mutt, I press 'm' and compose an email and send with 'y'. Oddly enough, the email appears in my gmail inbox (the webmail) even before I sync mutt with offlineimap (I don't automatically sync). Once I sync, I see the email in both my sent mail and inbox.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

You have unset the record variable.

Temporary files and buffersize limit question

Hello,
I have two questions :
1. Buffer limit
Is there a limit for the buffer to return to a client. I have
a conversational service routine. If I want to return 50 record ( i.e. view structures
) my service routine hangs. If I do 10 records than it is ok. Is there a limit
size to return. Is there a parameter in UBBconfig to fix this.
2. Temporary files on conversational client / services
My service routine creates temporary files in the /tmp directory. Unfortunately
the mode for /tmp has 't'bit on so users can not delete files from other users.
The problem is I have a lot of temporary files in /tmp. Does anyone know how to
fix this or where can you specify not to use temp files or where can you specify
the directory to create tempfile. de name of files are /tmp/TUXxxxxxx where xxxxxx
is a random serie of characters.
Thanks a lot

Buffers that are larger than 3/4 of MSGMNB are sent through a file. The name is
generated with tmpnam(), so you should be able to specify a different directory by
setting TMPDIR in the environment.
The preferred solution is to not use file transfer, by setting your IPC parameters
high enough to pass all of your application messages.
If your service routine hangs, you should look at a possible application problem.
How are you packing the VIEWs into a buffer? Are you using embedded FML with
FLD_VIEW32 fields? That would be the best way.
Remember that VIEWs are binary structures that are unique to a particular machine
type. If you pack Views together into your own buffer format, and try to use them
on a different machine type, then they won't work properly.

Creating variable in /tmp

Hi,
I am building a shell script (forgive me if this is the wrong place to post) which is supposed to create a temp directory in /tmp. The reason for this is to store bits of information such as application version, etc... that keeps my installation script current. I'm trying to create the following variable:
TMPDIR=/tmp/$$; export TMPDIR
And to give you all a better example, I have a line in my script (which was written and works in Linux btw - I am relatively new to mac) that checks the current version of the package to be installed through this script:
curl -O ${TMPDIR} "${URL}/current"
Current holds a binary that fires back the latest version number.
Anyways, any help that I could get with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It's not clear (to me, at least) what your question is.
Are you saying that you're creating your TMPDIR variable (e.g. via 'do shell script'), but your subsequent curl call doesn't see it.
If so, that's because each do shell script invocation is its own entity - therefore any environment variables created in a do shell script call are discarded when the shell command ends.
So you have two potential solutions.
One is to combine your two shell scripts into one do shell script command:
do shell script "TMPDIR=/tmp/$$; URL=\"http://www.some.com\"; curl -O ${TMPDIR} \"${URL}/current\""
(note the escaping for quotes, etc.
The second option is to setup the TMPDIR in one step and store the result in an AppleScript variable, then pass that back into the subsequent shell command:
set tmpdir to do shell script "TMPDIR=/tmp/$$; echo $TMPDIR"
-- additional AppleScript code
do shell script "curl -O " & tmpdir & "\"${URL}/current\""
In this way the first do shell script creates the tmpdir reference which is then passed in as an AppleScript variable into the second script.
Note that there are still several elements missing in this script. $$ relates to the PID of the process, so that will be different between the first and second do shell script commands.
If your goal is to have a unique, temporary directory then you may be better off using mktemp which will create a file (or directory) with a guaranteed unique name.

Install Application failed

Hi,
I have a problem when I try to install an application.
When the privilege access are needed, I enter my administrator password, but the error-60008 (errAuthorizationInternal) occurs.
I read a post from someone who obviously had the same problem, but the solution is too technical for me.
It seems that I have to *"create a directory for the purpose in /private/ tmp, and set TMPDIR to its path, before launching the helper application."*
Is there anyone here that can explain me what I have to do in details?
Thanks.

Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Select your hard drive at the left (e.g. "Macintosh HD")
Click "Verify disk"
If there are any errors, start from the install disk for Tiger (hold down 'c' during restart), choose your language but do not continue with installation. Instead, go to the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility, select your hard drive and click "repair disk". If any repairs are made, rerun the programme until you get a message saying "The volume <name of hard drive> appears to be OK". Restart.
Whether there were errors or not, open (or keep open) /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Select your hard drive.
Click "Repair permissions".
See if that helps.

Application Server Installation is stuck

Hi guys,
I am new to java application server and I am trying to install the 8.0 version in my linux account. When I run in the console the installation command:
./sjsas_pe-8_0_0_01-linux.bin I get the following messages:
Checking available disk space...
Checking Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...
Extracting Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment files...
Deleting temporary files...
and I wait there for very long....
The same thing happens if I try to install the v.8.1 and the All-in-One bundles.
I would be glad if you could help me on that!
best wishes

I have exactly the same problem.
I am attempting to install Sun App Server Platform edition 8 on RH linux Fedora Core 3. The installation wizard starts and works quickly up to the point where he reports "deleting temporary files", then he hangs there. I have tried to set "-tmpdir wrk" and then checked that directory to see what was going on. The install had written a file in that directory but nothing then happens. It just hangs.
Now, I have tried to install Sun Studio Enterprise edition, electing to install the bundled app server. The install fails, reporting the app server is corrupted. I have tried installing Sun Studio Creator and it completes but reports a failutre in installing the app server, but the directory "SunAppServer8" does not even get created. Now, the Creator install does create a nice log file reporting the failures.
All of these products fail to install on my system due to failure to be able to install the app server.
What is going on.
Oh, yes ... I have JSE 1.5 installed as my default JVM.
Thanks for your help.

Script File comparison

Hi,
When I am using FileMerge and compare two different versions of a script file, it says "Files are not ASCII", if I 'proceed anyway' I am seeing lots of special characters.
How can I do a better file comparison(.scpt)?
regards
Mowri

Here's a very basic script that will accomplish what you're asking:
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set tmpDir to do shell script "mktemp -d /tmp/CompareScripts.XXXXXXXXX"
set leftFile to tmpDir & "/left"
set rightFile to tmpDir & "/right"
set script1 to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose file)
set script2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose file)
do shell script "osadecompile " & script1 & ">" & leftFile & ¬
";osadecompile " & script2 & ">" & rightFile & ¬
";/Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMerge -left " & ¬
leftFile & " -right " & rightFile & ";rm -rd " & tmpDir</pre>
This script is very basic and has no error checking incorporated. Here's what the script does when run:
1) Creates a uniquely named directory in the "/tmp" directory.
2) Asks you to locate script file #1 (left file for FileMerge comparison).
3) Asks you to locate script file #2 (right file for FileMerge comparison).
4) Launches FileMerge and loads the 2 files for comparison.
5) Deletes the directory it created in the beginning when you quit FileMerge.
The script will continue to run until you quit FileMerge. The script can be modified in many different ways depending on the exact task you'd like for it to achieve. You can also modify the script to be a droplet so you can just drop 2 scripts on it for comparison.
Hope this at least gets you started in the right direction.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Set ip address same for all users

I'm having trouble with my internet connection. I would love to know how to diagnose the problem but I fear there is no easy wasy to do that.
I can connect to my router without a problem, when I bring myiMac out of sleep I can connect to the internet without problem then that connection is lost for a few minutes and then things are ok. How do I diagnose this?
One option that has been suggested to me is to set my IP address in my network preferences. If I do this, can I apply that change across the four user accounts on my machine or do I need to go into each account and change it there? Would i be worth trying different IP addresses for each user?
I am wondering if having multiple accounts on my iMac is the source of my problems.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My settings won't stay set as I set them in preferences pane os maverick . Can someone please help me.

Can anyone help me resolve a problem I've been having . When I open preference pane & set my personal settings ,i.e Dock settings ,display settings to the way I prefer it's fine while I'm using computer but when I shut down & the next day I start up the settings are back to where they were before I went near them .
This problem is really annoying as the idea with the preference pane is for my particular preference . Please can somebody help me resolve this very annoying problem , After all it is a MacBook Pro running the latest software . Thank you .

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.

Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Why do i keep loosing my settings and homepage setting in safari

when setting homepage and other settings in Safari why do I loose them every time I switch computer off, when I switch computer back on I am on Apple home page instead of my homepage and any settings disappear. As far as I can remember it started when switching up to Mountain Lion and has been doing it ever since.
many thanks for any help

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.

If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET dbstart error Oracle Enterprise Linux

ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET dbstart error Oracle Enterprise Linux
Hallo!I am a newbie in Oracle 10g having installed Oracle 10g in Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7.
I am trying to automate the startup of the Listener,Database,Enterprise Manager and isqlplus during boot.
I have tried running the dbstart script but an error resulted.After research,I found out that I am supposed to edit line 78 of the dbstart script from
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=/ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle
To
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=$ORACLE_HOME
Even after this,when I run the dbstart script,I receive the error below.
[root@joey-oel ~]# cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/bin/
[root@joey-oel bin]# ./dbstart
ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET, unable to auto-start Oracle Net Listener
Processing Database instance "orcl": log file /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/startup.log
When I view the log file startup.log,the information is as below

How do I resolve this?
Thanks.

Running out of memory despite having set je.maxMemory to a moderate value

I have set je.maxMemory to 20MB (je.maxMemory=20000000) and allowed a max heap size of 512MB (-Xms256M -Xmx512M).
After two hours of running my web service, I'm running out of memory. After having profiled my service (using Yourkit Java Profiler 1.10.6), I can see the following:

In any case, com.sleepycat.je.tree.BIN claims ~ 116MB of heap memory, which is by any goodwill, exceeded the limit of 20MB.
How can this be?
How is JE ensuring that the limit is not exceeded? Is there a timer (thread) running which once a while checks the memory used and then cleans up ; or is memory usage checked creating a com.sleepycat.je.tree.BIN object?

I'm not sure whether the profiler is reporting live objects only (referenced) or all objects (including those not yet reclaimed). If the latter, it isn't telling you how much memory is actually referenced by the JE cache.
Please look at the JE stats to see what the cache usage is, from JE's point of view.
If you believe there is a bug in JE cache management, you'll need to write a small standalone test to demonstrate it and submit it to us, since we don't know of any such bug. Also note that we'll have difficulty supporting JE 4.0 (without a support contract anyway). Please use JE 5.0, or at least 4.1.
Eviction occurs as objects are allocated, as well as in background threads. Eviction in background threads and concurrent eviction were greatly improved in JE 4.1.
