Trouble Forcing an Application to Run

I have a bit of a problem I'm having trouble solving. I'm trying to force an application (McAfee Total Protection's silent installer) to run at startup. So I created an application object and associated it with a test machine, also checking "Force Run." The test machine will not run the installer at startup, however it will run if I execute the object from the Application Explorer window.
I've experimented with the force run order, even though I don't have any additional applications I'm trying to install on this box. I also turned on the Reporting feature and checked the log file. Each time I log in, I can see an entry made in the log file as if some kind of attempt is made to run it. McAfee Total Protection also keeps a log of every install attempt, whether it's successful or not and I don't see any entries there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Glad to hear that helped.
If you don't have that box checked, the instll will try to run Prior to User
logon which could act quite differently depending on the software.

I am running Mountain Lion and have trouble installing Adobe Application Manager

Hi,
Do you receive any specific error message when Adobe application manager is being installed?
Thanks

Forcing an application to load and run from memory

Greetings,
Is it possible to force an application to load and run only in RAM? I've got a V60 (i386) with 4gb of RAM running Solaris 10 (beta). We have an application that we would like to ensure loads and runs only in RAM and not swap to the disk. The machine is used for this one application that uses about 50% of one CPU at all times. Even with this application running, of the 4gb of RAM, 3.5gb are unused.
The swap size is equal to the size of the RAM, but we want to prevent the application from ever using swap. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Bob

Unless there is memory pressure solaris kernel does not throw away a process' pages onto swap.
When you have 3.5Gb of unused main memory, there is no chance for this application pages to be
put on swap.
You can use 'pmap -x' to check RSS matches the process size.
'swap -s' tells you how much swap is actually used.

I keep getting told that i have run out of application memory and have to force quit applications. Not sure why this happens or what I do to fix it.

I keep getting told that I have no more application memory and have to force quit applications. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? This issue has only started since I started using Mavericks 10.9.2.

Have you checked how much space you have left on your HDD? You may find some useful information here:

Application Not listed In Force Quit Applications Window

I running an application that is not displaying in the Force Quit Applications window.
When Adobe Lightroom 3 is running it is not listed.
I have quit the application and relaunched it and it still is not appearing in the list of Applications that are running.
What may have happened? How can I remedy this issue?
Thank you.

Why do you need to invoke the force quit? Are you experiencing hangups, freezes, or ?
When you have the Help section pop up window of an application open, the app itself stays "hidden" until you close the help window - you have to get used to closing that first.

I'm having trouble with my applications freezing. Then when they are "unreponsive" I quit and another becomes "unresponsive" until I'm down to Finder and it won't relaunch. HELP!!

I'm having trouble with my applications freezing. Then I force-quit because they are "unresponsive," another applidation becomes "unresponsive" until I'm down to Finder and it won't relaunch. HELP!!

Mine is doing the same thing! I have more than enough hard drive. It's only 3 months old.

My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications. Word will not even open. I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe. Excel sometimes opens but very slow. What could be wrong? I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change. I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
1. Get more ram.
2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

Can I force Oracle Forms to run in browser?

Hi,
I have a client, who has Oracle Forms based application. I only have information from second hand, but I understand she opens the browser and new Java applet window (outside of browser) is opened, where that application runs.
I also have a Web monitoring solution, which simulates end-user actions and which is using Internet Explorer engine to do that. However this application can monitor only website, meaning if there is a Java applet running IN the browser it can be monitored.
Unfortunately this Oracle forms based app runs as a standalone applet in its own window.
Is it possible to force that application run in browser in any way? Or is it necessary to change the code to achieve that?
Thanks!
Peter

How to check if web application already running?

Is it any way to check, if a web application is already running on clients computer. In other words how to prevent users to opens second instance of the same running application??

Not sure what you mean.
The application (scope) only runs once. A user cannot force another application scope to open up, ColdFusion controls this. If no request is made within the timespan set for the application timeout, then the next request fires off the onApplicationStar() BIF automatically before the request BIFs are executed.
If you mean that you don't want them to have more than 1 browser open to the same website, I'm not sure that's going to cause any issues; as what was said before, the web is stateless. ie:
If I open Chrome, and in Tab 1 I goto home.cfm and in Tab 2 I goto home.cfm the to ColdFusion, it basically sees 2 requests to home.cfm made from (in essence) the same person (even though it doesn't know that until you implement some form of user tracking).
But even if a person logs into a website, the session data is shared for the browser or session (depending in how your sessions are setup) So even if he logs in on Tab 1, the next time he goes anywhere in Tab 2, it'll be when he's logged in. The 2 tabs share the same session data.

Connection leaks and application is running out of connection

Hi All,
We have configured the SQL Database external resource for OBPM specific connection pool. All the business processes are using the Fuego.Sql package for the data base transaction calls. I have no clue how this package is managing the database connections. If more than 25 users perform concurrent testing, the application is running out of connections. Connection pool configuration details as below.
Maximum Pool Size : 500
Maximum connections per user : 50
Minimun Pool Size : 0
Connection Idle Time (mins). : 5
Maximum Opened Cursors : 1000
Please share your thoughts on how I can track and fix this issue. Also please let me know the answers below.
1. Is there any way to find out the stats about the connection pool
2. If I configure the remote JDBC that points to J2EE datasource, would that fix this issue.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Can anyone please share your ideas?
Thanks,

Images are not comming out when application is running through jar file.

I have written an application program using j2sdk1.4.1 that needs your help.
My application folder's contents.....................................................................................
     C:\Examination\Examination.class <-----This is the main class and application's entry point.
     C:\Examination\ExamBox.class
     C:\Examination\PaperSetterBox.class
     C:\Examination\pspBox.class
     C:\Examination\epBox.class
     C:\Examination\TimerBox.class
     C:\Examination\ReportCardBox.class
     C:\Examination\HelpBox.class
     C:\Examination\AboutBox.class
     C:\Examination\Images\(some jpg & gif files)
     C:\Examination\Sounds\(some au files)
Compilation Report:     There was no error.
Execution Report :     Was working properly using the command:- java Examination
Now, I created a jar file for my application in the following steps.................................
          STEP-1:          Firstly, I created a text file(mainclassInfo.txt) that contains
          the line:--     Main-Class: Examination
          This line would be automatically added to the default manifest file when I would include the                name of that text file with the command to create the jar file.
          Location of the text file I created:     C:\mainClassInfo.txt
          STEP-2:          Then I went to C:\Examination and executed the following command(by using                'Command prompt'):--------------------------------------------------------------------
jar cmf C:\mainClassInfo.txt Examination.jar Examination.class ExamBox.class PaperSetterBox.class pspBox.class epBox.class TimerBox.class ReportCardBox.class HelpBox.class AboutBox.class Images Sounds
Finally, I got the jar file:-     Examination.jar
Double clicking on it application ran as it was expected.
Then, I thought, that as all the files & folders the application needed to run properly were packaged in the jar file; I should delete all the contents of the folder 'Examination', so that no one could see or use anything of the resources easily. I did that.
So, then it became only:-- C:\Examination\Examination.jar
Thereafter, I tried to run the application again and there a problem occurred! The application was running, but the images, those were to be used and shown by the application were missing somehow!!
Moreover, when I kept a copy of those 2 folders('Images' and 'Sounds') into the C:\Examination and ran the application again all the images came out normally!
I just can't understand why it's happening so mysterious?
I don't want to leave anything of the resources in an open place; I mean, outside of the jar file. The images should be used and shown by the application.
Help me please!

The Image class itself does not have any methods for loading images from files so you must be using something more. Most methods for loading images from files have an overload that lets you use a URL, so you just need to use that method with a call to getResource like in the other thread. If you can't think of anything else, you can use ImageIcon to load an Image (the Image is returned by a call to ImageIcon.getImage). See also "how to use icons" from the swing tutorial:

Finder got an error. Application not running (-600)

I have a LaunchAgent that calls a shell script, at login. The shell script runs and determines the users AD container and then will runn the correct applescript application depending on the AD Container. The applescript applications simply mount up the users network volumes, runs a few do shell scripts and then exits.
It works and has been working for quite some time, under 10.5.x, 10.6.x, 10.7.x and even 10.8.x. But I have started getting a few users who are getting a rather odd message in the logs that the script creates and I can't really find anything on the error message.
"Finder got an error. Application not running (-600)"
If I log the user in and run the following at the command line:
launchctl unload name.of.plist
It will unload the launchagent.
If I type this at the commane line:
launchctl load name.of.plist
It works perfectly. No errors.
I can manually run the shell script it calls and that works fine.
I can also manually double click the apps and those run fine.
I've changed the permissions, I've recopied, re-imaged, but I can not figure out why the script won't sometimes and gives me that error message.
Has anyone seen this error message before and what I can try to do to fix it?
Thank you in advanced.

This sounds like a typical race condition, and it's impossible to solve without seeing the script.
The issue is that your script is targetting some application that isn't available. Ordinarily AppleScript will launch an application if it's not already running, but during launch it's possible that your script is trying to target an application before it can be launched (because the user's envirnment is still loading).
So you need to look at the script to see what it's doing, and what apps it's targeting. The fix might be as simple as adding a few delays to allow the system to finish logging in, but t's hard to say without more data.
