When "Stopped: TcpAcceptor "- occurs - How to kill the VM automatically?

We got the following message in one of the proxy and the proxy process itself is alive, but it is not cluster member anymore obviously.
20100525 13:34:23.791 EDT Coherence FINER: 2010-05-25 13:34:23.791/32986.568 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.2/463 <D5> (thread=Proxy:ExtendTcpProxyService:TcpAcceptor, member=12): Stopped: TcpAcceptor{Name=Proxy:ExtendTcpProxyService:TcpAcceptor, State=(SERVICE_STOPPED), ThreadCount=0, Codec=Codec(Format=POF), PingInterval=0, PingTimeout=0, RequestTimeout=0, ConnectionLimit=55, LocalAddress=[cfbc49lxb08/10.56.59.138:9992], LocalAddressReusable=true, KeepAliveEnabled=true, TcpDelayEnabled=false, ReceiveBufferSize=0, SendBufferSize=0, ListenBacklog=0, LingerTimeout=-1, BufferPoolIn=BufferPool(BufferSize=2KB, BufferType=DIRECT, Capacity=Unlimited), BufferPoolOut=BufferPool(BufferSize=2KB, BufferType=DIRECT, Capacity=Unlimited)}
In this kind of situation I would like the VM to die (so that support person will be alerted and will get restarted). How can i do this? Also this message is appearing in FINER level!!! I wish it was WARNING or above level

If you are using the jdk1.3 then there is a bug that whenever you access the Toolkit even once during an application, then you must use System.exit() to quit. This is a known bug with the JDK. You indirectly access the toolkit whenever you use most of the AWT package.

How to kill the process chain

hi,
I have question how to kill the process chain during running.
thank you.

Hi
If the process chain is running in background,
goto SM37
Give * in the jobname
Give the username who scheduled the process chain
Job status - check the check boxes - SCHED, relased, ready, active
click execute.
It displays all the process chains that, scheduled & running.
You can select the process chain that need to be stopped & click STOP active job or ctrl+F1.
Hope this helps!

How to kill the hanged JFrame in swing?

How to kill the hanged frame in swing?
I am opening multiple JFrame and working on them.These frames are plcaed in JDesktopPane.
If one frame is hanged up then i could not work on others .
I need to kill the hanged frame.
Assist me.

am opening multiple JFrame and working on them.These frames are plcaed in JDesktopPaneWell, a JFrame, can't be added to a JDesktopPane, so your question doesn't even make sense.
As was suggested earlier, if your GUI is unresponsive, then that means you are blocking the GUI EDT and the GUI can't respond to events. Don't do this.
Read the Swing tutorial on Concurrency to understand why this happens and to learn the proper way to write GUI code so it won't happen.

How to confirm the alerts automatically in the internet mail?

Hi,gurus:
I wanna know how I confirm the alerts automatically in the internet mail.Now we have to navigate to the alert inbox to confirm the alert,but can I do it in the internet mail? I have confirued the parameter in ALRTCATDEF->CONFIGURE->SETTING->INBOUND PROCESSING,but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
I checked the library,and it says:
Confirming Alerts by Internet Mail
When an alert is sent by Internet mail, the Internet address of the alert user entered in alert configuration is entered as the Reply To address of the mail. An alert ID is inserted into the text of the mail. When the recipient answers the mail from the alert system, the alert is confirmed automatically. Inbound processing sends a status mail to the sender stating either that the alert has been confirmed successfully, or that an error has occurred. The alert ID must be included in the body of the reply mail.
My question is: How to reply the mail?Where do I write the the alert ID?any ideas?

After clicking on an open tab, how to make the focus automatically go to the body of page?

After clicking on an open tab, how to make the focus automatically go to the body of page?
Right now, clicking in an open tab and using arrow keys now moves through the open tabs. I liked the old versions where right after clicking in a tab you could directly go to navigate the page with the arrow keys.
Is there a something I can change in about:config to change this behavior?
Thanks in advanced.

Firefox should still set the focus the the browser area if you click a tab. 
Only with very old browser versions you could set the focus to a tab by clicking a tab.
This behavior is likely caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address. My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id. But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

How to kill the yellow outline when using setFocus?

Hi...
I tried using:
btnname._focusrect = false;
It did kill the yellow outline but then I can't navigate using the up/down/right/left key anymore. How to solve this problem? I have been researching days on this.
Please help!
Thks!

Hi Kartik,
I tried:
_root._focusrect = false;
It did remove the outline but I could not navigate using the arrow keys anymore, I can only "tab" through the buttons. I need to use the arrow keys as this is for a presentation using a remote control.
As for:
_global._focusrect = false;
It didn't work.
I still don't understand why removing the yellow outline also means removing the arrows functions?...mmmm
Thks...

According to the above, your session_id is 581 which is blocked by session_id 572 so you need to kill the 3rd session in the list.

Hi vijay kumar,
Yes, you are correct, since the endless loop will be procesed by the background user, it may or may not be displayed in SM50.
The other way to kill the process is.
1. go to sm12 with the user id wf-batch delete the running section and immediately do the process with reddy has informed you.

When MIGO received PO, how to link the PO Delivery Schedule period?

Dear All,
I want get the PO Delivery Schedule of this schedule period received date. But in EKET only Delivery Date, Not have MKPF posting date. In EKBE, have posting date, But when EKET have some items, how to get the correct period posting date.
Thanks
Sun

you need to join EKBE and EKET table. with the help of ABAP team.
the reason behind is EKBE is History per Purchasing Document
where as EKET is Scheduling Agreement Schedule Lines
or if you have authorization then create query on your own by Tcode SQVI.

How to kill the process running on specific port in Solaris 10

Hi
As I want to kill the proces running on port 8080 in my solaris 10 box. is there any command to do the same.
Thanks
Rajan

A quick google, found lots of scripts... I found the script below @ Christopher Hubbell's blog - I've modified it to pump out the command name.
---->>>>>>BUT let's just say it would be quicker to got to sunfreeware.com and download lsof.
the 'lsof -i " option will give you the process id, which you can use kill _pid_ to kill the id.
Christopher's modded script (my edits in bold):
#!/bin/sh
if [ `/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u` -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: This script must run as root to access pfiles command."
exit 1
fi
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
port=$1
else
printf "which port?> "
read port
echo "Searching for processes using port $port...";
echo
fi
for pid in `ps -ef -o pid | tail +2`
do
foundport=`/usr/proc/bin/pfiles $pid 2>&1 | grep "sockname:" | egrep "port: $port$"`
if [ "$foundport" != "" ];
then
pname=`ps -ef -o pid -o comm |grep $pid| awk '{print $2}'`
echo "process name: $pname, $foundport"
fi
done

I purchased my iMac used. When I try to update my apps the computer automatically fills in the previous owner's Apple ID and I can't change it. Any ideas?

I purchased my iMac used. When I try to update apps in AppStore, the computer automatically fills in the previous owner's email address and it won't let me delete it to enter mine. I have been using my own apple ID and password on this computer for other things without a problem. Any ideas?

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.
