System Events Documentation
I am looking for online or print documentation on System Events. I am not interested in deciphering the System Events dictionary.

There's an AppleScript Book or two available...

Testing system events (shutdown/restart)
Is anyone aware of a way to determine what event was sent to loginwindow to cause a system shutdown.. Im basically looking for a way to test for the events of kAELogOut
kAEShowRestartDialog
kAEShowShutdownDialog
kAERestart
kAEShutDown
as documented in http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Artic les/BootProcess.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002130-114618-BAJGBJHI
thanksYou need to implement applicationShouldTerminate and the documentation is pretty explicit that your app doesn't get told who's asking it to quit but I'll assume you're up to speed on all that.
You would need to poll AppleEvent or the loginwindow process or come up with some other way of determining who's asking you. I've seen this solution - it isn't pretty but it's the kind of thing you'd need to think about doing.
http://myztik.katan.com/?p=176
I'm not aware of a way to use BSD level kqueue to get System event calls but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Even if it is possible it means your App would need to constantly deal with notifications you don't care about. Also keep in mind your applicationShouldTerminate will get called for every quit so there won't always be a Systemwide notification... it could just be the Application's Quit command.

Storage cells: System Events and System Defined Thresholds
Hi, there,
I have an Exadata V1 (yes, I do) and I recently saw this flag up as an alert on one of my storage cells:
2 2013-02-19T17:15:50-05:00 critical "39:Temperature:Threshold based -- Upper Non-critical going high State: asserted"
3 2013-02-19T17:15:50-05:00 critical "255:System Event:System Event -- PEF action : 7 State: asserted"
4 2013-02-19T17:15:51-05:00 critical "39:Temperature:Threshold based -- Upper Non-critical going high State: deasserted"
Basically, for one second, it appears that the temperature threshold was exceeded. This doesn't surprise me as the V1 machine is: a) very tightly compressed into a small box, b) is old, c) is HP.
Because of a bug in our version of the ESS, we just use the system-defined thresholds on the storage cells. I have two questions:
1) How can I find out the system-defined thresholds - or at least the thresholds that the storage cell is using
2) How can I find out what the 'System Event - PEF action: 7' is?
Markhmmm... I had an issue with an Exadata X2 some time ago when a user-defined temperature threshold was not giving alerts (later documented in MOS note 1380758.1/bug 13387575 and fixed in 11.2.3.1.0 by the way). At the time I was told that there's no way to see build-in thresholds in cellcli.
As far as the specific error ID goes I don't know what it means, but I'd suggest checking HP iLO documentation in addition to regular Oracle channels.

Windows 8.1 - Windows Couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service
I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers. Standard users are not able to log into the computer on the first try consistently. They receive the error message: Group Policy client service failed the sign-in access is
denied. They are stuck at the logon screen.
If an administrator logs in (local or domain), they can log in but get a black desktop with two error messages. The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. The second error message is a popup
balloon. It states "Failed to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service."
When a standard user attempts to log in, event viewer records three warnings. They are listed in order from oldest to newest
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event. -Logged 9:14:44
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event. - Logged 9:14:44
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a notification event. - Logged 9:14:49
After a reboot, users still have the issue. I noticed that the user profile services and system event notification service are not running though their startup type is automatic. They start after a minute or two.Hi Joseph__Moody,
Based on your description ,I assume it is a domain environment .First of all ,I would suggest you to try to update all the machine .
"I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers"
Do you mean all the Windows 8.1 machine share the same symptom or just a specific one ?Did the machine work correctly before ?When did the issue start to occur ?Have you installed any third party software before ?Can we operate the machine when we login with
an administrator account ?
If the issue occurred with the specific machine :
"The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable."
Please try the following suggestions if we can operate the machine when we login with the administrator account :
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and verify if it has the Desktop folder there.If the folder doesn`t exit, we can copy from C:\users\Default\Desktop location(This folder is hidden by default).
We also can try the following suggestions to have a troubleshoot :
1.Run "sfc /scannow"or "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to check the health of the system files.
2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software.
3."They start after a minute or two."
I suspect there is a third party service confilct here. Please perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here .

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135
If the issue occurred with multiple machines in the domian ,I would suggest you to check whether you have configured any logon scripts and logon group policy .We can remove the machine from the domain to have a troubleshoot .
If the issue occurred recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.

i have a backup and sychronizing program called Synk that is currently unscriptable. I want to set up folder action so that when i plug various drives in this program opens the correct backup files and the program.
So far i have managed to get the program to open and i have managed to get the open dialog box up, i have also managed to get it to click the right button to start the process. Where this fails is when selecting the correct backup file. The open dialog box appears and i can see which one i want it to select, but i am unsure of how i get system events to select a specified item from the open dialog box. It also fails to initalize when the drive is inserted.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
if (added_items as string) contains "Humphrey" then
--set bup to file "Humphrey To University.sknd" of folder "Backup documents" of folder "documents" of "home"
tell application "Synk"
activate
tell application "System Events"
key code 31 using {command down}
-- open bup
-- (click the radio button "Open" of window) open
tell process "Synk"
click the button "Run" of the front window
end tell
end tell
end tell
end if
end adding folder items to
RichRichard,
Does this help:
tell app "Finder" to open file "Humphrey To University.sknd" of folder "Backup documents" of folder "documents" of "home"
It should open Synk for you with the target settings file.

Hello everyone.
The question is: can I develop a java program that can control system events of a windows environment? For example a program to shut down the computer, log off or open and close windows applications?
If so, how can i do that??
please help me. Your help is appreciated in advance.
thanks.

Hi, my system runs on windows 8 on hp laptop envy series. All of a sudden, system event log on service stopped, errors which prevented the system to log on services. It displayed error of STOP 0xC000021A when i use system restore to roll back to previous
configuration. Also when I tried to refresh my pc, it says i can't do changes as log in was switched to prevent the changes by notification.I don't know what to do next, I tried to put recovery dvds which I made when system was bought, now not at all working.
Internet is not active, not able to resolve by trouble shooting and system taking lot of time to get dsktop. Previously I used to get my desktop in 10 seconds. Now its 10 min. May be I m infected with virus. My files, they are there. I tried to transfer some
files by pendrive to another system, now the new system(where i put my files in another system) crashed, windows 7 system which does not display desktop, icons etc and not at all workable.
Also in my hp system, i m unable to open control panel. if its opened, it will not go off, when i use task manager, it says explorer and shuts down. I had to force restart the system. Please resolve something to get my hp laptop workable. I m waiting for
my MS thesis to be working on that. My files are locked and no way to transfer, I fear of infected by virus to another computer also.
Pls give instructions to hw to set my hp laptop at the earliest without losing any of the files. Idon't want to reinstall and lose all the data for timebeing. Else, inform me the option for copying data safely. I tried to change the adv startup and recovery
by changing the boot sequence by DVD but this also shows error 0xC000021A and asks us to see the details. I didn't understand all this. Pls help asap.
Thanks
venkata
STOP 0xC000021AMV
If you can boot either from the win 8 dvd or in safe mode we need the DMP files
We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
WE NEED AT LEAST TWO DMP FILES TO SPOT TRENDS AND CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here
If you have any questions about the procedure please ask

System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional
Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
try
tell process "Acrobat"
-- Enable security settings
click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
tell window "Document Properties"
tell tab group 1

on error
display alert "System Events was unable to Enable Commenting. This may be because Acrobat has modified its menu system. Please contact your system administrator."
end try
end tell

Reporting Services not automatically starting. System event log 7009, Application event: 18456
For the past month (since Oct 11,2012) reporting services (SSRS 2008R2) is not starting after the server is rebooted. The service is set to automatically start and starts manually without a problem. The system event log contains the following error:
Event ID 7009: A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service to connect.
SQL logs :
The SQL logs has many "Event 18456 Login Failed, State 38" errors when the database engine starts. I assume clients conections are failing because the databases aren't online yet. None of these 18456 errors coorespond to the account reporting services
runs under.
The SQL logs indication Event 7009 occures before the "ReportingServer" database is online so im assuming there is a dependancy but I don't know how to avoid this.
This problem is occuring on a number of our servers running SSRS (if not all)
Any ideas?
PaulHi A141695,
For Event ID 7009, you can try to do the steps below to resolve it.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
3. Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. In the New Value #1 box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
6. Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.
For example, to wait 60 seconds before the service times out, type 60000.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. For more information about it, please see:

Continuous "36888 Schannel Errors" in System Event Log when NOT connected to Internet
We are hoping someone will be able to assist with us this very strange issue please ?
We are using Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise with Office 2013 and the latest Symantec Endpoint Proctecion v12.1.5 installed. They are managed using SCCM2012 in a large AD domain environment
When our workstations are NOT connected to the internet (only local intranet) the following errors appear in SYSTEM event log almost continuously (several times a minute).
Event ID:36888 User: SYSTEM OpCode:Info Level:Error Source:SChannel
"A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 70. The Windows Schannel error state is 11."
The process associated with these events is "Local Security Authority Process"
When an internet connection is enabled for these machines these 36888 errors will suddenly stop !.
An event "Error 36887 "A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 40." Is also occurring on these machines but only occasionally.
As a result, We suspect there must be a process continuously attempting to connect to an internet service and failing ?.
Some of the things we have tried so far;
- We have disabled all non-essential services (e.g. Windows Store Service) one by one but this didn't fix.
- We have tried disabling Tile updates on Start
- We have tried a bunch of different Group Policy settings to disable different combinations of TLS/SSL in IE config.
- We have searched the internet forums and tried some suggested fixes but this combination of error state and error code seems unique ?.
It doesn't happen on our Windows 7 x64 workstations that have much same apps & configuration.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks.Hi Makes006,
This Event ID 36888 occurs if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL.
We can try clean boot to troubleshoot whether this issue is caused by a third party program .

If there is no sensible impacts on operating the machines ,we can try to disable this log by modify the following registry key value to 0.

Mysterious repeat log entries in System events log
I tried unsuccessfully to share internet connection with 2 iMacs without router(That doesn't matter). But after this, my iMac (24" 2.8 GHz) not networked or on internet now shows this repeated log entries every minute:
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
This message gets repeated every minute on System events log. Daily, Monthly maintenance was not done automatically earlier today on this iMac (usually it did without any problem) which was on all-night.
I checked with Disk Utility, repaired permissions. Although no problems in working, this continuous log writings disturbs me.
Thanks for any help & Happy New Year!
Best.Thanks, V.K. Did that (was asked password). System log showed after restart:
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing[152]): Exited with exit code: 1
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing153): Exited with exit code: 1
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.InternetSharing): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Then it started again the same way as above - with each aditional line each time as shown above. Thanks for sticking with me on this. Hope you will offer other suggestions.

NetBT 4321 Errors in Member Server's System Event Logs
Hi,
I've searched high and low and can't find a resolution to this issue. We have approximately 30 windows server 2003 servers, most R2, all SP2. We have 2 domain controllers - 10.0.0.10 & 10.0.0.11 (the first one holds the PDC role).
In the System event log of nearly all the member servers is the NetBT 4321 error, with the following text:
"The name "OURDOMAIN :1d" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 10.0.0.43. The machine with the IP address 10.0.0.10 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine."
On each machine the first IP mentioned is always that machine's IP (10.0.0.43 in this case), with the second one (the one not allowing 1d to be registered) being the PDC emulator's IP (10.0.0.10). Now I can understand why this is failing - these machines are all on the same subnet and I would guess that the domain (1d) should only be registered by the PDC emulator anyway. What I can't work out is why these errors started appearing about 3 months ago - we can't work out what, if any, change occured at that time.
We run a DNS-only environment (no WINS), 2k3 Native domain. We're looking to upgrade to a 2k8 Native domain (ie upgrading our DCs) but are wanting to get this niggling issue sorted first.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ben N.Hi,
At some stage I've not been clear - no we most certainly don't have two IPs per server - the two IPs together above are the two domain controllers.
Here's the IPconfig:
