Start multiple terminals each with different minicom commands - howto?

On login, I would like to:
1) Start a small 80x24 terminal window.
2) I would like that terminal window to run /usr/local/bin/minicom -C mail.txt mail
(This will connect to my mail server over a serial connection.)
3) I would like the terminal window to hide itself.
4) I would like to do the preceeding 3 steps several more times, changing step 2 slightly so that the rest of the line after the -C refers to a different capture file and different minicom "rc" file. This would result in 6 different hidden terminal windows monitoring 6 different machines.
Any thoughts on how to get started here?
I don't know how to invoke the terminal app at login.
I don't know how to specify that the terminal app configure itself to a particular screen size for just this purpose. (i.e. I don't wabt these tiny windows to be the default terminal size - just be tiny for the purpose of running minicom.)
How to I specify the "shell script?" that terminal shoul be invoked with?
Can I use the automation facilities of Mac OS X to do this?
Thank you for you help.

In Terminal,
File > New Command...
Enter the command. With the resulting window active, go to
Terminal > Window Settings...
Go through the various panels, and configure the window as desired. Then save,
File > Save As...
The resulting file is a double-clickable document that will run the specified command. The window settings are saved. Make a document like this for each command.
In System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
drag each of the .term files created above. Check the "Hide" box so that Terminal will be launched hidden.

I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How to back up multiple iphones/ipads with different icloud accounts but same apple id

I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks.

With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

Multiple report servers - with different uifont.ali

Can we have multiple report servers with different NLS_LANG?
They all should be started as windows service. Also I would like to have them look at different uifont.ali. The reason is that we want to have the same report run with different fonts in different languages. This way I can map the fonts in uifont.ali as I want.
Is it possible?

I don't think this is possible with multiple reports servers with one Oracle 9iAS home. You will have to install multiple 9iAS, in different Oracle homes.
This also means that you have different URL's (port numbers) for the two environments.
I have used this configuration before to install a test and production environment on one web server. Changing the conf files, variables etc. in the test environment doesn't influence the production environment that way.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

No, Lightroom catalogs cannot be on a networked (shared) drive, and they do not support simultaneous multi-user access

SSIS project - read multiple flat files with different formats

hi all,
i need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
please advise the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.

Hi AK1987,
To import flat files with dynamic columns, we can use Script Task inside a Foreach Loop Container to parse the first row of the flat file to get the columns names and save them into a .NET variable, then, we can create “Create Table” script based on this
variable, and then store the script into a SSIS package variable. After that, we create a staging table based on the package variable, load the flat file data to the staging table. Eventually, we load data from the staging table to the destination table. For
the detail steps, please walk through the following blog:

Can a single HID report descriptor support multiple touch screens with different sizes?

Hi Experts:
I have a question for specifying touch monitor sizes in the HID report descriptor:
Can ONE HID report descriptor support multiple touch monitors with different sizes ?
Thanks in advance
leo

My screen shot is from AA9, and I have seen that the UI for AAX is vastly different, but...
Choose Paper Source from Page Size should be the "one-touch" solution your looking for.
In my test, my Konica-Minolta Bizhub failed to detect the proper paper trays, but Acrobat correctly spooled the pages.

Multiple Modbus Servers with Different Unit ID running in cRIO 9074. Possible ?

Hello
I want to create an application such that i can create two Modbus I/O slave server (TCP/IP) with different unit ID and can communicate with the slave through Clients. I created this application but only unit ID 1 is working. Is it like this that at a time two modbus slaves cannot work together ? Also I tried with one server and giving different Unit ID but then also it's not working. I found one thread, here is the link.
http://208.74.204.114/t5/LabVIEW/how-do-i-get-multiple-tcp-ip-modbus-to-work-together/td-p/2239130
Are there any updates on this issue.

I don't fully understand your issue (but I'm trying).
Traditionally Modbus TCP/IP slaves cannot talk to each other, also the UnitID is mostly moot for MODbus/TCP since ports and IP addresses exist (unless you are building custom applications that will handle UnitID internally, because you have can't have 2 servers running on the same port).
If you can clarify your first sentence that would help a lot.

You want to create 2 MODbus/TCP slave servers, that can talk to other slaves? Or do you want the Master to automatically do things based on the slaves response? Are the TCP slaves on different computers, IP, etc?

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

Hi Dennis,
Sorry for that I have modified the VI.
Because the peak and valley of every channel will occur at different time and I want to log the peak/valley with the time stamp.
How can I log them on the same file.

SSIS - Import Multiple flat files with different metadata

Hi ,
I have set of flat files with different metadata structure, I would like to load them into staging tables.
1. ) Can we load the flatfiles into the staging tables with out having multiple data flow task.
2.) If possible , can we programmatically select the staging table based on the metadata of the flatfile and load them.
Please advise.
Thanks
Thiya

Nope in SSIS a data flow task needs to have a fixed metadata. So if your file metadata varies then best option would be use OPENROWSET syntax to pull the data and populate into your staging table. You may also use
SELECT .. INTO StagingTable ... FROM OPENROWSET (...)
syntax to create staging table at runtime based on the file metadata
http://sqlmate.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/use-your-text-csv-files-in-your-queries-via-openrowset/
If you want to do this in SSIS you need to create data flow dynamically using script task and build the metadata

Multiple closed captions with different audio

Hi there,
I have several buttons on a slide that each play different audio when clicked.
Is there any way I can add closed captions for each of these separately?
Thanks,
Mandy

If your REAL requirement here is to allow the learner to play a number of different audio clips with accompanying text transcript of the voiceover then there's a far easier method to achieve that resul.
Just add rollover captions and add the audio clips to the caption part of the object. Add the transcript of the audio clip as the text in the caption. Then when the learner places their mouse over the rollover hit area, the caption will appear, the audio clip will play, and the learner can view the transcript in the caption. As soon as they move their mouse off the hit area the clip will stop playing.

I look after multiple ipads each with their own itunes account. How can I manage them all from one computer.

I am looking after 20 ipads each with their own itunes account. Am I able to have more than one itunes account on my computer so that I can sync these ipads when necessary. We don't always buy our songs on itunes. Sometimes we buy the cds and download them onto itunes so i need to attach them to the computer to sync the songs. I will need to do this all on my one computer. Can this be done. If not, what do you do in this instance.

Best way to do it is to create a user for each iTunes account.
