Shell Help -  .login, .profile etc.

I have installed a program, which directs me to do the following:
"C shell users should add the following command to their .cshrc or .login scripts:
source /Applications/Ampac-8.16/init_ampac.csh
Bourne or BASH shell users should add the following command to their .profile or .bash_profile scripts:
. /Applications/Ampac-8.16/init_ampac.sh"
This modification apparently informs other components of the path to a program, since when using the application, I get an error message " ... Main Directory not found."
I am unsure of the zsh version of the .login or .profile files. I have searched for the obvious, without success. If I use Terminal preferences, then usr/bin/login is not executed, and lots of other things break (scripts won't execute - command not found).
I do not know how to edit the script for usr/bin/login, and am unsure if this is even the answer.
Thanks,

In your home directory you may need to create a file named .cshrc if you are using the C shell or .profile if you are using bash. Create the appropriate file with your editor of choice, say vi, and enter that line of code. Exit & close the terminal window. start a new window and everything should work.

  • Custom Transaction Types, Subject Profiles etc...

    Hi all,
    Did anyone worked on custom Transaction Type on SDCR? 
    I know that this is CRM specific stuff to configure, but want to check what are the implications in modifying exisiting SDCR..  Well, in the meanwhile, we need to work on custom Code Groups, Subject Profiles etc..
    What is the impact on upgrades if we modify the SAP defined Transaction Types SDCR?
    Please correct me if I am wrong in my approach.
    Response is greately appreciated.
    Regards,
    Mike.

    Thanks for response.
    I tried to copy and modify the subject profiles, catalogs etc.  I could able to create Change Request with the custom transaction type, but not able to authorize the change request.  And I am using SAP defined action profile for custom transaction type.
    And also little bit confused how to attach the custom change request to support message (we need to select the action item "create change document").  It seems there are lot of modifications to be done all the way from support message to urgent/normal correction.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Mike.

  • ODI Login Profiles / Connection Info

    Where does ODI store the login profile information i.e. username/password + associated connection profiles. Is it in a config file somewhere in the ODI directory structure?

    I thought that was the case. In that case how would it be possible to have 2 different lists of profiles? When I access ODI from shortcuts on the desktop I get the list I expect to see and the details present in the config files you mentioned. However when I access any of the ODI modules from the Programs menu I get a completely different list of profiles which I can't find in any of the config files. Any ideas??
    My ODI version is 10

If your tones have disappeared and you are having issues restoring them, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful (it refers specifically to 8.1.1, but the steps may more generally apply to your situation):

  • What happened to my login profile password?

    I recently had my hard drive replaced at my local Apple Store. The drive was failing and my iMac is covered under AppleCare so it was no cost to me and because my iMac is two years old, i got an upgrade from 320 GB stock drive to the current standard 500GB. I returned home and was surprised to find that they recovered ALL of my information. I am thankful for this. The ONLY difference is the login profile pictures have been changed. I thought this seemed normal considering the circumstances, yet when i logged into my profile, the only profile with a password, it did not require a password. I want to make sure my profile has a password on it, and now it doesn't. I go to change it in System Preferences and it requires me to enter my old password. I enter my old password, with my login profile name, and it says it is incorrect. I looked online and found somewhere that Apple Stores are not allowed to change your passwords. I understand in this case that they may have had to, but since it is policy, i assume they did not. If so, what happened to my password? I also see online that you can change a forgotten password by inserting the Mac OSX Install Disk, restarting and changing it there. I began to do this process, but stopped, seeing as before the Restart, it asks me for my login name and password in order to change information. I will try this process, but my original question remains. "What happened to my login profile password?"

    *UPDATE 2*
    so i realized that they changed the admin on my computer, OR when they put all my stuff back on my computer, it automatically made the admin by alphabetical order, since my (old admin) profile is second on the list. i dont understand why the admin profile would change. and there used to not be a keychain password on that profile. i cant even remove programs now. do i have to back up my files and wipe my computer? start from scratch?

  • Help with pico /etc/profile

    I have redhat 7.3 and i install the sdk. Its in usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin

I was trying to follow the other thread instructions but everyone seems kinda different. Im very new to linux by the way. Think i installed it by accident :P

    pathmunge /sbin
    pathmunge /usr/sbin

    It seems to me that when ".plist" files contain references to other files or folders, most require full paths and they won't accept anything to represent a generic "home". Either that, or items are represented by "alias" data, referring to a specific file, which would be completely independent of paths. That of course means that any sort of "template" account must avoid containing references to items within the "home" folder because the template will contain references to the original items, not their counterparts in the new user's home. Note that things like the "sidebar" in a regular account or the "Dock" in a "Simple Finder" do contain shortcuts to items within the "home" folder, but these aren't generated from ".plist" files in the template but rather are generated on the fly by "Finder" during login.
    In the case of the default download location for "Safari", I think it defaults to the user's "Desktop" in the absence of a ".plist" file. However, if the user changes the location, then a ".plist" file is created at that point. It would also appear that the default download location is set to the user's "Desktop" if the default Safari "home page" is changed, which also causes the same file to be created. The file appears to be: "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist"
    I haven't tested this to see if it would work, but it might be possible to modify your existing template to remove the reference to the "download folder" while retaining the desired Safari "home page" using something along these lines:<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">sudo defaults delete /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfigpriv DownloadFolder</pre>

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 8.0.1, it is hanging when I try to open it. Deleting profiles etc. doesn't help. I suspect the problem has to do with caching or history, since when I first quit after upgrading I had to force-quit as it was hanging.

    '''bold text'''MacOS 10.5.8 is my operating system.
    There is no actual crash, thus no crash ID--it just hangs forever and eventually I force-quit.
    Restarting the computer hasn't helped
    Downgrading to previous versions didn't help.
    Deleting profiles and preferences doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Apparently clean re-installs hasn't helped.
    If option-opening is really safe mode on a Mac, then that isn't helping, either. It's the same hanging.
    No problems are being noted with any other software.
    I'm totally stumped--what else can I take off for a cleaner re-install?

    Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
    There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
    The problem remains.

    I am going to try configuring the e-mail app to use "[email protected]" as well, to see if that works around it (at the moment, it seems stuck syncing my new "[email protected]" account).
    In any case, I'd consider it a bug.  If I'm logged in as "[email protected]," then that is who I should be.
    I am not sure whether this is an issue with the Pre's implementation, or Yahoo's mobile API, or....?  I can login to Trillian, GAIM, or other desktop applications as "[email protected]" and NOT have any issues.  I used to do this on my Treo without any issues as well.

  • Need help understanding profiles and color management

    I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
    1 Epson 3800 Standard
    2 Spyder3Studio
    I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
    I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
    1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
    2 Calibrated the monitor
    3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
    What I've found:
    1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
    2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
    3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
    4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
    5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
    So, why am I confused?
    1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
    2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
    I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
    You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
    So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
    The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
    The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
    By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
    You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
    The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
    The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
    If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
    The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
    You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
    As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
    Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
    If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
    The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
    You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
    So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
    As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
    There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problems with print and colour profiles etc in CS4

    This is driving me round the twist. until recently all was fine, but lately everything seems to have got screwed up. I am trying to print images produced in Corel painter, which have been placed etc into an .ai artboard. (CS4)
    No problems until recently, but now there seems nothing I can do to make it print accurately. There are so many colour and print profile choices available, I don't know which to pick as there doesn't seem to be a default.
    The screen image adjusts to any profile or colour management settings I change, but the actual print image never bares any relation to that screen image.
    Work I have printed previously,( and have not adjusted settings for )without any problems at all.. are now printing inaccurately.
    I'm using a Canon MP640 inkjet printer by the way.
    The same is true with printing from PS and any other application.
    I haven't made colour settings through Bridge for all adobe apps' as none of them so far seem to be accurate.
    Even if I saave an image to pdf or jpeg, and print from preview, it still comes out with the colours badly changed.
    Please, please help.. I can't work this out and I have got to print!!!

    willspring,
    Just to make sure: As I understand it, things worked in CS4, not only in earlier versions.
    To reset settings in Illy, you may Move the folder, but it may not solve the issue (the simpler but less thorough resetting being to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup).
    Have you made any changes, such as printer driver or whatever, between success and failure?

  • Netboot - Licensing for Adobe, WWW registrations/logins/checks, etc

    I'm trying to get my head around the issue of using NetBoot to distrib ute a common boot image to a load of macs.
    We have many copies of Photoshop.
    Photoshop CS, CS1,CS2 and hopefully soon CS3.
    I've tried to ask Adobe to compact all the separate licenses into one site license, but they are not readily offering that back-grade, so what do I do when I want to build a single NetBoot image?
    I don't want to build 5 NetBoot images just to pacify Adobe. It's gong to get unweildy...
    What are other peoples experiences with this software licensing / online copy registration checking, for Adobe, Macroimedia, Office 2004X, etc?

    ...and...
    The idea is to give people (Mac PPC & Mac INTEL users) roving accounts so they can login to any Mac i n the building and get all their iChat, Safari, eMail (Entourage 2004 X), etc, settings ...and... have access to a standard set of 3rd Party Applications (Photoshop, Dreamweaver...)
    Is there any way to install the 3rd Party SW on the Mac AND have roving User accounts/profiles, filestore and control config System Prefernces settings etc?
    Thank you.
