Shutdown from a logoff script

I have created a GPO that calls a logoff script. This script looks for other batchfiles and executes them. I am using this method install an applications and then reboot. However, when the batch file runs
shutdown -r -f -t 0, I get device not ready. I there any way to either force a reboot from a logoff script? Or a way to abort the logoff when I am installing the app then force a reboot then?

What about using this only : shutdown -r -f ?
Does it works?

Scripting question: Is there a difference between shutdown from within the VM and using the WMIService InitiateShutdown

Hi,
Are there any problems with shutting down a virtual machine using a script? (example of shutdown script here).
In this case, I want to start VM's in a particular sequence and timing, and then reverse the sequence and timing for shutdown. The built-in settings of hyper-V haven't been adequate.
Is the command "ShutdownList.ItemIndex(0).InitiateShutdown(True,"script
shutdown")" the same thing as initiating a GUI activated shutdown process?
If not, does commanding a shutdown from the host using a script cause
any system problems inside the VM? If so, are there other or better ways to accomplish this?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

IMac will only restart or shutdown from power button.

My iMac will only restart or shutdown from the power button, it also will not logoff users. It starts ok, but only after a hard reboot?? I have repaired permisions and no change. I have a clone I can restore from but any ideas whats up here?
The only things that I know I have altered are deleting files saved during migration from Panther (months ago)and running Unbuntu Live CD.
iMac G4 15 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 728ram

Are you booting into Ubuntu Linux? Most of us here wouldn't now anything to do with it. If the problem is occurring when booted into Mac OS X, it may be a sign of data corruption in the power management and user settings. Some corruption is easy to repair such as fixing the directory (which I'd only do after a clone). Here's how according to my FAQ:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
And I assume the issue is with your iMac G4.

How to create and add a logon/logoff script to populate last user into the computer field in AD

Hi All,
Bit stuck here,
Not sure what forum to put this is as it involves different subjects,
I work in a Server 2008 RT environment and have access to Active Directory etc.
I saw this a few weeks ago - http://ivan.dretvic.com/2012/10/automatically-generate-description-field-for-computers-in-active-directory/
Now, I'm not particularly sure what to do here, I don't know how to create a group policy etc. How to implement it in a test environment etc. Never done this before.
Can somebody give me a step by step guide on literally everything that would be involved in this?
Or any links that may be able to help?
I basically want the AD to show who was the last user that logged into a specific client when the client named is searched for in the Computers OU, and if possible being able to pull the make/model and serial number from the client aswell.
If possible there should be a way of including this with the existing login script that we already have, how can I do this?
I've tried a few so far and got stuck, I have domain admin priveledges also.
Thanks,
Regards, Max.

Hi Max,
Please refer to the following article to learn how to create a logon/logoff script via GPO:
Assign User Logon Scripts
Assign User Logoff Scripts
As for the issues about script, this is the forum to discuss questions about driectory service, better to post your question to the forum for Script:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=scripting
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or

How do I shutdown from within Genome??

How do I shutdown from within Genome??
There is only a logout option - and that do not work.
If I open a terminal and enter init 5 nothing happens.
Or so it seems some services maybe stop.
BUT there is no logoff and shutdown of Genome. So I swicth
off my pc and next time I boot up my file system was corrupted.
FSCK did not work I end up install everything this time use bypass
option and install the patches for PC-Solaris 8.
How do I go to a command line environment within Genome
a .dtconfig stop ?? Will this let Genome come down without
booting up and loosing my system again??

ok... i figured it out... a 'Sprite' is really also a DisplayObjectContainer... so if i make my class an extension of Sprite i can 'addChild' to the Sprite and then add them all to the stage at once by adding Sprite to the stage...

Logoff script is not completing on computers in remote locations

Hi folks,
We're running a logoff script on our Win7 Enterprise SP1 machines that invokes three robocopy statements which copy various local directories to our Netapp as a backup. The logoff script is called through GP at 'User Configuration|Policies|Windows Settings|Scripts
(Logon/Logoff)'.
If the machine is in the corporate office, there is no trouble, the script completes, and all files are copied. If the machine is located at our branch office (connected across the WAN via an IPSEC tunnel), or by Directaccess, the third robocopy statement
will not complete, and the logoff script just exits as the user is logged off. The robocopy log is truncated in the middle of the copy. This script can be run interactively and it will complete without difficulty. It would seem that the copy is taking
too long to complete?
In researching this, I found that the default time allowed for a logon/logoff/startup/shutdown script to complete is 10 minutes, and that this can be changed through GP at 'Computer Configuration|Policies|Administrative Templates|System|Scripts|Maximum
wait time for group policy scripts'. The trouble is that even in remote locations, the script fails way before that default 10 minute timeout. In fact, the script runs slightly less than a minute before the logoff occurs. I tried setting the max wait time
to 0 (infinite time), but that did not help.
I've also tried breaking the three robocopy commands out into separate batch files and invoking each with a 'call' statement, and adding 'start /wait' in front of each command, but neither of those worked either.
Does anyone have a clue why the logoff script is exiting so quickly? Thanks for any help,
ianc

Do your robocopy statements log to a file? It may be worth while to tweak your batch scripts a bit to generate a log.
@echo off

@echo %date% %time% - Starting Robocopy 1 of 3 >> C:\Logoff.log

Depending on the results of that, you may want to consider maybe creating a different script to perform some tests to validate network connectivity. The example below is a bit over the top but we ended updoing something similar to what's below for
testing remote connections, especially when users had intermittent connectivity problems. (Hence the goto top)

Logoff script terminated prematurely on windows 7

I have a logoff script that backup the user profile, it works fine on all but one computer, it seems that the script is just killed but I can't figure out why
I already changed MaxGPOScriptWait to 0 and gpssvc PreshutdownTimeout to ffffffff and I also see winlogon warnings 6005, 6006, user profile service 1530 and user32 1073

Hi,
We can use the gpresult /h GPReport.html command to generate a Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) report. We could check if the policy setting gets applied successfully from the report. Besides, can you run the
script manually on the computer?
In addition, for this just occurs to one computer, we can try to use clean boot to re-boot the computer and check if the logoff script can run successfully.
For detailed information about how to perform a clean boot in Windows, we can refer to the following link:

Is it possible to call a method in a servlet from a java script ?

I need to do a dynamic html page . In the page i select some things and then these things must communicate whit a servlet because the servlet will do some DB querys and update the same webpage.
So is it possible to actually call a method of a servlet from a java script? i want to do something that looks like this page:
http://www.hebdo.net/v5/search/search.asp?rubno=4000&cregion=1011&sid=69DHOTQ30307151
So when u select something in the first list the secodn list automaticly updates.
thank you very much

You can
1. load all the options when loading the page and
set second selection options when user selected
the first; or
2. reload the page when user select first selection
by 'onChange' event; or
3. using iframe so you only need to reload part of
the page.

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Getting the output from a Perl script using Runtime.exec

I cannot get the output from a perl script using Java. Can someone PLEASE help?

InputSream in = p.getInputStream();
b...
do
System.out.println(b);
while ((b = in.read()) > 0)
But there is no way that I get the output in the inputstream. If I use the command "cmd script.pl", the output is displayed in the Dos box, but also not in the inputstream.
I will appreciate any help.

Error when calling a stored procedure from a SQL Script

Apologies if this is a really dumb question but I can't seem to call a procedure in package from a SQL script. I have a simple package.procedure containing a loop to populate a table. I would like to include a call to this procedure from my database install script, that also includes my CREATE and INSERT statements. I run the script using "@install_databae" and the CREATE and INSERT statements run fine. The script gives an error when it reaches the line below:
exec lazarus.PopulateGridPositions;
and gives the error.....
BEGIN lazarus.PopulateGridPositions; END;
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "LAZARUS.LAZARUS"
ORA-06512: at line 1
The procedure and package have both compiled without errors and the statement on its own works fine in SQL*Plus.
I've obviously missed some fundamental concept with scripts and SQL. Please can anybody help me?

And just checking:
You have schema called LAZARUS, which holds a package named LAZARUS, which holds a procedure called POPULATEGRIDPOSITIONS?

Filling Activity fields from the Interactive Script WinClient

Hi Experts,
I am working with Interactive Scripting (CRMM_TM_SCRIPT) and I already defined my interactive script. I am also creating Activities after I finish with the Script in order to register a case. I am doing this by defining an Action Type CIC-AB which calls an Action Box in the Interaction Center WinClient. In the Action field I define the name of the Activity I want to call from the Action Box of the Interaction Center.
When the Agent receives a call, he navigates in the Interactive Script in order to clasify the case he is treating. At the end of the Script, the case needs to be register following the clasification made by the Agent, and thats why we are calling an Activity. The thing is that we dont want the Agent to fill again the information he just defined in the Script in the Activiy, so we want to fill certain fields of the Activiy I am calling with Information of the Interactive Script I used before, in order to save time to the Agent that Register the Case.
Can anyome shed some light on this issue?
Thanks to everyone.

Alberto
You can create an activity.i.e., you can create an Order from the Interactive Script if you already created the Script structurethen follow the below steps
I think it would be helpful
Procedure:
T-Code: EWFC0
Path: SPROIMGCustomer Relationship ManagementCustomer Interaction CenterVisible ComponentsAction Box SettingsDefine Configuration Profile for Action Box.
1. Choose F4 help to select one of the Action Box profiles you have created and you want to adapt and choose change.
2. Mark the Action box Configuration and create a new Action Box Group by choosing Create transaction group.
Enter a group ID, description and icon for the new transaction group and choose Continue.
3. Mark the new transaction group and create a new Action Box transaction by choosing Create transaction.
4. Enter a transaction ID.
5. Enter a Transaction Definition section, select Workspace.
6. In the Transaction Definition section, select Workspace.
Two additional fields will appear.
7 Choose F4 in the Workspace field to select the Script.
8. Choose F4 in the profile field to select the Interactive Scripting profile that you created in the previous steps above.
9. Enter a Slot Name if desired.
10. Choose Continue.
You are automatically taken to the Maintain Data Flow screen .No data flow parameters need to be maintained for the Interactive Scripting workspace.
11. Choose Back.
12 Choose Save.
Note: Since Only Workspace of this type can be open at once, you will need to close the Automatically Created Interactive Scripting Workspace before launching the Interactive Scripting Action Box call.
