VLC via CRON - no image

I try to run VLC via CRON.
this is in cron.txt :
0 0 * * * cd /home/vychod/public_html ; killall -9 vlc &> /dev/null; DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc --fullscreen --volume 300 --loop --extraintf http --http-host 12.345.678.00:8080 -I dummy playlist/playlist1.m3u
In scheduled time the process starts, but I have no image, I just hear the sound.
If I try run the command in terminal, everything goes fine, but via CRONE I have no image to see..
Can anyone help?

so...
at first, karol - thank you for your time...
Can you find the problem?
I did log from cron:

Captivate 8 does not detect Character files in eLearning Assets and will not insert them via the Media Image route.

The eLearning Assets directory was installed in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Characters_8_0.
When I attempt to insert a Character, Captivate 8 (on Windows 7) loads the gallery where they would normally be displayed but this is empty of thumbnails. It does however recognise that their are categories of Business, Casual etc.
Additionally, if I attempt to add any of the Character image files via Media>Image on the toolbar, Captivate 8 reports that the image is either corrupt or not of a supported format. Nevertheless, those very same image files will open in other applications without any problem.
I have tried a reinstall of the Adobe eLearning Assets but this has made no difference.
Any ideas appreciated.
Malcolm

Hi,
I've since discovered that batch processing the images with IrfanView (which is unusual in being able to actually open them) and resizing them (though I dont think this aspect id actually necessary) the images can be worked with in other Windows programs, can be added to a Captivate progect via the Media>Image route but still do not show up in the Gallery of Characters via Media>Characters.
This at least allows us to make use of the Character assets but is extremely time consuming as we need to resort to Windows' own thumbnail capabilities (Large Icons in Windows Explorer) to help make a 'quick' selection
My researches have uncovered a multitude of Adobe/png issues - with Photoshop etc. It would apperar that there are problems associated with both the quality (24 bit) and transparency (being lost or inaccurately interpreted.)
I don't think the images are 'corrupt' as such (they appear to be just 'Adobe'd') as I have installed and reinstalled the eLearning Assets package - both one that was downloaded several weeks ago and one that was downloaded just days ago.
If I encounter (or am provided with a complete solution I will post it here.
Good luck in the meantime.
Malcolm

Lost All SD Card Data Via Create "Disk Image" - Any Hope To Recover?

Hi All,
Hope this is the right place to post - I run Snow Leopard on a June 210 2.66 i7 UMBP. Please forgive my very limited knowledge but I was following instructions on how to create a "Disk Image" of a SDHC Card to preserver exact data so as to enable easy import of Full HD 60FPS AVCHD/.MTS stuff shot on a Sony DSC-HX9V Camera. (Sony PS Video Mode)
I am basically "Monkey See. Monkey Do" & was having a nightmare trying to figure out why I could not transfer the stuff on the SD Card to iMovie 11/ iMovie HD. I read lots of threads here & elsewhere & the advice seemed to be to make a "Disk Image" of the SD Card via Disk Utility & then import into iMovie from there. I found the following online instructions:
http://blog.scoopz.com/2008/10/13/ba...to-disk-image/
I followed the exact instructions to the letter but kept getting error messages a few times & the process would not complete. On the last occasion (4th), the process completed very quickly & a "Disk Image was created on my desktop. I noticed that it said that there was pretty much 16GB free out of the 16GB capacity of the card & when I opened it, all I found were folder icons & garbled descriptions with some strange files - The SAME was true of the stuff on the SD Card which I was desperately trying to back up & save. The Card was full of Data when I inserted it.
All the photos & videos in all folders are now missing/gone & I do not know why. I am desperately hoping there might be some way I can get all the stuff back - is there any hope? What, as someone of very limited understanding of these things, do to recover the stuff on the SD Card if at all possible? I have enclosed some pics so you can see what I see. What happened here - where did all my stuff go?
Many Kind Thanks!

You were on the right track, but now the disk free space doesn't give me much hope you'll recover anything. The .MTS files are in fact the video files:
http://www.etinysoft.com/
Total Video Converter can convert these files to MPEG-4 that iMovie, iTunes, iPhone, and iPod can use. First double check that there aren't any .MTS files left with http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/ And if it can't find any, use one of these data recovery tools:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Once you have it, then you can use Total Video Converter to get it to a format you can use. I have a Sony DSC-HX-100V and it makes the same sort video files.

Oracle Data Pump (expdp) credentials via cron job

I have Oracle 10.2 on Linux Red Hat Server. In additions to performing appropriate backups of my database I also have a cron job I use to performa full logical export using expdp every night to export user objects in the event that a singleobjects needs recovered. This is an extra safeguard for object recovery.
Currently I do my export (expdp) via a cron job run as the oracle software owner as a db user with db credentials specified. I would however like to change this script to essentially run as sys by doing something like "expdp / as sysdba... " However it appears doing so actually requires the password to be supplied and to run expdp as "expdp sys/password as sysdba".
does anyone have experience performng an expdp as sys without specifying the password... essentially being able to do "/ as sysdba"?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I appreciate all comments. At the expense of being long winded I did not get into all the details. But to be more clear I want to say
1. I am using a parfile as to hide the password from the ps command.
2. I also understand that doing it as sysdba is not recommended but i thought if I did so I could eliminate need for storing clear text password.
3. This system is on a seperate "air-gapped" (a.k.a "sneaker-net") from the outside world and is a better protected than if sitting somewhere near the internet.
4. Historically we have not been permitted to use OP$ accounts. This may be a legacy issue,and will (re-)investigate this as an option.
5. Just to be clear, I really do not want to do a full export as sysdba. In fact currently I am doing it as a user with EXP_FULL_DATABASE role. However, that requires password to be stored in file (parfile). The file has it in clear text which is still not optimal because System Admins could gain access to this password (Yes I know system admins could do larger damage, but we still need to protect the passwords).
I am going to look at calling the API directly, and OP$ if needed.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Moutain Lion Time Machine Backup To WHS 2011 Via Disk Utility Image On Windows Share?

I read that with Lion you could do a Time Machine backup to a network share on Windows Home Server 2011. I read you could create a image file via Disk Utility that would be placed on the network share, but mounted as a regular disk in Mac. I think I read this method no longer works on Moutain Lion though. Has anyone tried it? I'm setting up a new Mac Mini and would like to do time machine backups to my WHS 2011 drivepool. If it is possible great, any way to use the backup for bare metal restores as well? (ether across the network, or putting that image file on a usb drive first etc) I use bootcamp to go back and forth on my Mac Mini, but I'd like to keep things backed up on the Mac side via standard time machine.

I re-googled and found something I read about a few days ago that shows how it was done in Lion:
http://basilsalad.com/how-to/create-time-machine-backup-network-drive-lion/
I think maybe I found someone that tells how to do it:
http://www.jamesbadger.ca/2012/09/12/mountain-lion-time-machine-over-afp-auto-mo unt-edition/
The question is, how do I use this backup for a baremetal restore then? I'm assuming I would do a generic Mountain Lion restore, and then just restore over the network after I manually re-mount the image again first.
Does this sound like a real option/solution? Looks like maybe I answered my own question, but I'd like to hear anyone else confirm it works and is worth trying.
So my goal is to do a time machine backup over the network to a windows machine.
If it's not possible, I guess I'll have to break down and plug in an external USB drive, but I'd still like to know if it's possible for another friend as well.

Bash script run via cron not executing MYSQL command

I have a bash script which is run from a cron,
It is executing as I have it write to a log file which it does correctly.
I am wanting the bash script to restore a mysqldump file.
When I run the bash script manually the dump file gets loaded fine. But when I run it through the cron the mysql command appears to be ignored.
The mysqldump file is 54MB and I have checked to make sure that MYSQL is included in the global users path in /etc/profile
Does anyone know why this maybe??
Here is the bash file
#!/bin/bash
date >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
echo "Started loadbackup" >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
cd /home/user
dbuser=root
dbpass=password
dbname=databasename
filename=backup
mysql -hlocalhost -u"$dbuser" -p"$dbpass" "$dbname" < " >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
My crontab looks like
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
Have you tried redirecting the script output in the cron to see if an error is being reported?
I.e.
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh > /tmp/loadbackup.log 2>&1

Problems with Disk Utility backup & restore via DMG disk images

I attempted to backup and restore a 2TB external raid storage device using the recommended Disk Utility procedure for 10.6.6. One of the HDDs in the raid enclosure had started to fail.
First step was to create a new image from the 2TB device. I accepted the defaults of compressed image format and no encryption. The image took about 15 hours to create, and when complete, I was left with 2 files:
OWC2TB.dmg (1.1TB)
OWC2TB.002.dmgpart (486GB).
To check the DMG I ran the Disk Utility "Verify Disk" on the DMG, and got the message "The volume OWC2TB appears to be OK". The DMG is described in DU as:
Description: Apple UDIF read-only compressed (zlib)
Connection Bus: Disk Image
Total Capacity: 2 TB
Disk Write Status: Read Only
Partition Map Scheme: No partition map
I then replaced the failing HDD in the enclosure, recreated a new 2TB filesystem on the device, and attempted to restore from the DMG image.
The first attempt was to use Disk Utility "Restore" function. I specified the DMG as the source and the new device as the destination, and chose "Erase Destination". This failed immediately with the error "Restore failure. Could not find any scan information. The source images needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored".
After researching this error I tried to correct it by selecting the DMG in Disk Utility and running Images => Scan Image for Restore. This failed immediately, complaining there was insufficient disk space. More research revealed it needed the same amount of spare space on the same disk to do an imagescan. So I had to free up an EXTRA 1.5TB of space in addition to the space the DMG consumed. Not very user friendly.
The next attempt to imagescan the DMG got further than the "insufficient space" error. It displayed "Scanning image OWC2TB.dmg, Block Checksum Partition #1". This ran for about 10 hours. At the end, it displayed a new error message "Unable to scan OWC2TB.dmg (internal error)".
Next I tried to mount the DMG and copy the files manually. My first attempt at this resulted in a "Verifying..." phase which looked like it will take about 10 hours, so I clicked "Skip". Soon after I got an error message "Unable to attach OWC2TB.dmg (no mountable file systems).". Now I am trying a mount with the Verify option...
Can anyone suggest what I can try next to restore the DMG?
I think the problem might be the fact the DMG is split in two parts, but the imagescan/restore software does not know how to read the second part? Is there a way to join these into a single DMG?

JAVA_HOME not set when running a task via CRON

On my Solaris 11 server I have created an entry in the root user CRON tab to launch a groovy based application every weekend. The application runs fine under a non-root user. When run by CRON however, the following error message gets emited:
groovy: JAVA_HOME not set and cannot find javac to deduce location, please set JAVA_HOME
Which is weird, as I have the following lines at the end of my /etc/profile file:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0
export JAVA_HOME
GROOVY_HOME=/usr/local/bin/groovy-2.1.3
export GROOVY_HOME
PATH=${PATH}:${GROOVY_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
export PATH
Please advice me where to look for the cause of this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Dusan

I have the following command
/usr/local/bin/groovy-2.1.3/bin/groovy /usr/local/bin/backup/prune_old_backups.groovy
How do I add the JAVA_HOME variable into it?
Thank you,
Dusan

Running notify-send via cron

I've written a script, that monitors battery state and shuts down netbook when power is low to prevent hot power off. I've tested the script before running it in cron - everything works as it must: notification pops up, system shuts down. But when I'm trying to run it from cron - everything ok expect notify-send command.
Config scripts:

I thought that running one more external script will solve the problem, but it didn't work.
Tried also this command in cron:
* * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /etc/cron.hourly/powersave
But also without result.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?

You may also need to have the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable set. I have a script that does something like this:
PIDS=$(pgrep urxvtd)
for p in $PIDS; do
dbus=$(grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS /proc/$p/environ | sed 's/DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=//')
user=$(grep -z USER /proc/$p/environ | sed 's/USER=//')
dply=$(grep -z DISPLAY /proc/$p/environ | sed 's/DISPLAY=//')
sudo -u $user sh -c "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=\"$dbus\" DISPLAY=\"$dply\" /usr/bin/notify-send -i \"$ICON\" \"$TITLE\" \"$BODY\""
done
I chose urxvtd, b/c it's guaranteed to be running... but you can choose another progam.

Can't add jpeg signature via use an image?

We are using Adobe XI Pro and we are unable to place a signature by "Use an Image" and browse to a .jpeg file and import that in. Is there a factory reset for the settings so that we can get that option back. Seems like the "First time signing" never appears we even tried uninstalling the software and re-installing but still no luck, was wondering if anybody can provide some insight?

You cannot use a jpeg image for signing. The written signature must be within a PDF document. Get a blank sheet of white paper (the brighter the better), and write the signature anywhere on the page. Scan and save the page as a PDF. Now, when you click on Use an Image and select this PDF, you'll see the signature appear in the small preview box. Adobe Acrobat will find the signature on the page and automatically crop it out.

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions.

Canon PIXMA 860 and 560 not recognized by Image Capture

I can scan from the printers to my MacBook. And I go to System Prefernces / Printers and Faxes and both are shown as printers and as scanners. I can open from their and scan but when I open image capture it doesn't find any scanners.
I down loaded and installed both the newest canon printer and scanner drivers as well as the newest ICA driver. Still they are not recognized.
What am I missing?

Just for testing purposes, I removed the canon printer, removed all canon software and updates from my system and then used the original CD that came with my 870 to reinstall the printer and lo and behold, Image Capture started working again for wireless scanning.
Hello and thanks for the feedback.
There are two scanner drivers available for many of the new models of Canon AIOs. There is the ICA driver and the Canon scanner driver.
During my tests on clean builds of 10.6.x I found that my Canon AIOs were able to print and scan via wireless by simply installing the Canon update provided by Apple. This update consisted of the then latest printer driver for many models of Canon AIO and inkjet and the ICA driver. Canon's scanner driver was not included as part of this download from Apple.
The ICA driver is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices and the package is called Canon IJScanner1. Later versions of the ICA driver also installed another package, Canon IJScanner2. These ICA drivers provide a minimal amount of scanning selections and only appear to work with Image Capture and Preview. Other applications like Canon's own MP Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Pro will not scan with just the ICA driver installed. The Canon scanner driver for the respective model is required.
From what you have said and from my own testing I propose that the original CD did not contain the ICA driver but the Canon scanner driver for the MX870. And with only this driver installed you were able to scan using Image Capture via the wireless. I don't recall ever testing a 10.6 build where only the Canon scanner driver was installed and not the ICA driver (it is present by default on 10.6 but only has older models of Canon AIO's - your MX870 is not there). Had I tested this I believe that I would have been able to scan via wireless using Image Capture.
I also propose that once you installed the Canon v2.4.1 update, which contains a version of the ICA driver package that is also available from Canon web sites, then Image Capture stopped using the Canon MX870 scanner driver and used the ICA driver instead, thus stopping you from wireless scanning.
Right now I am using a new build of 10.6.6 on my MBPro. So that I could print to my MP990 at home and an MG6150 at work I simply installed the v2.4.1 update and have printer and scanner queues in Print & Fax for both. I have not installed scanner drivers for either device and at home with my MP990 Image Capture does not show any device being available, while Preview does show the MP990 once I select 'Import from Scanner > Include Networked Devices'. Also, Acrobat Pro 9 does not show my MP990 being available.
And with regards to the v2.4.1 update, the drivers included are provided by Canon to Apple, just as the other vendor drivers are provided to Apple, to make life easier for us Mac users. The drivers are available individually and get downloaded and installed automatically when the respective model is connected to the Mac and no local driver is present. As for the package including all these individual vendor drivers, this would be created by Apple.

Using disk utility to burn new image dvd's

Ok I just learned to burn DVD'd using Disk Utility and New image.
But I have come to halt in my burning with a new issue.
My issue is that I have a file that is 4.63GB. When I make a new image so that I can burn it, it increases the size of the file(Video TS) to 5.13GB. Making it to big for a 4.7GB DVD.
My question is is this normal for the new image file to increase in size, and is there a way for me to stop this from happening. Or can anyone give me any other suggestions. Please help.

Ok I have never tried that, as this is the first time it is suggested to me.
The reason i have been doing it via DU, is because this has been to only way to get it to play on
home DVD player and burn with the UDF setting. I was told to do it this way when I was trying to burn
copies of my nieces fifteens that was prof. done on a DVD.
I am trying to burn a copy of a movie so that it can be played on home dvd players. Yes I have done this before and the copies I burned via DU/new image, worked perfectly. And the ones I burned by just choosing file and burning it did not work.
So any help would be great.
