Why does sqlplus hang when run with -s?

hi guys,
when i run it with -s (on Unix), it often just hangs - has anyone experienced this before?
thank you

wow. you're right,
i always thought the -s just meant silent, in that it would not print out that login stuff.
thanksInstead of just "thinking" what it meant, why didn't you look it up in the SQL Plus reference manual? ESPECIALLY since you were having trouble with it ....

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

  • Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

    Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
    Shutting down and then restarting works fine.

  • FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

    FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

    I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
    Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
    There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
    People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
    Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
    To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
    Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
    Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
    If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
    Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
    An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

  • Why does Firefox hang when accessing SSL content on Oracle 10.3.6 WebLogic with JSSE enabled?

    For several weeks we have been working with Oracle support to find out why our Firefox browser hangs for 20-30 seconds when connecting to SSL content on 10.3.6 WebLogic only when JSSE is enabled. It occurs when first attempting to connect to an enterprise WebLogic deployment. When JSSE is disabled the problem does not occur but JSSE must be enabled on WebLogic for our configuration. The problem also does 'not' occur when JSSE is enabled when using IE (8). In 10.3.5 WebLogic, the issue does not occur with Firefox but 10.3.6 is our preferred version and this is a major issue for us.
    For the Firefox version, we used version 18 and 17 with no difference. Thanks for your help.

    I did remove the entry and restarted the managed server, but nodemanager added the option again.
    Regarding startup.properties, it doesn't have any ssl configuration:

  • Why does Safari hang when launching?

    Using Safari 1.3 on 10.3.9 for a couple weeks now; everything has been running well, until today.
    Safari will launch from a Help command within an application (eg: any CS application), open it's own window, blue connection status gets halfway across the window bar, then it will hang with the spinning beach ball... until I force quit.
    Same thing happens when launched from the dock or directly from the applications folder. Explorer, Firefox all work fine. All other apps working fine.
    Tried trashing Safari prefs, no change. Deleted all Safari files and tried to install v1.2 instead (as a download from Apple), but now the Safari installer hangs as well. No problem with installing or re-installing other apps.
    Additionally, Sherlock will now no longer launch.
    Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

  • Why does Bridge hang when selecting thumbs

    I've been working on a script that looks through all the currently visible images in Bridge and selects a subset of them. In my case, I'm selecting only the latest version of an image (e.g. the PSD, not the NEF). My code logic is working to identify the thumbs that I want to select, but when I try to actually select them in Bridge, I find that Bridge hangs.
    The whole script is a bit complicated, but the relevant part to my problem is:
    for (i = 0; i < fileNames.length; i++)
    if (!fileNames[i].hasDerivative)
    var thumbObj = currentThumbs[fileNames[i].thumbIndex];
    app.document.select(thumbObj);
    If I comment out the app.document.select line, the script works perfectly. I've even written debugging code that verifies that my script finds all the right thumbs. But, when I try to actually select them in Bridge, Bridge hangs and I have to kill it from task manager.
    Is there something I'm either doing wrong or need to know about app.document.select(thumb) in Bridge? Why would that call hang? Could I somehow be passing an invalid thumb to this function? Is there a way I can write debugging code to test if it's a valid thumb I'm passing in all cases?
    --John

    Hmmm. That's not very convenient and it doesn't prevent my mistake. At the cost of a lot more typing, it can prevent other scripts from accidentally referencing or colliding with your variable names, but it doesn't prevent you from accidentally colliding with other people's variables if you leave off the object qualifier when you are typing.
    When I saw a reference to namespaces in something I was reading, It thought it was more like real namespaces (e.g. C++ namespaces) where you define a scope where all declared or referenced variables are automatically in that namespace unless they are explicitly referenced/declared otherwise. Does JavaScript not have that capability?
    It would be more like this:
    namespace MyProgram {
    var i = 3;
    // lots of other code here
    With a real namespace, "i" wouldn't be a global variable. It's real name/declaration would be MyProgram.i or MyProgram::i depending upon the syntax.
    Does JavaScript not have real namespaces?
    I get that I can explicitly declare everything to a scope of MyProgram to simulate some benefits of namespaces, but that's a lot of extra typing and, presumably a bunch of extra work for the interpreter since there's at least one extra dictionary lookup for every variable or function reference.

  • Why does Labview hang when switching from one TestStand application to another?

    I have several 2013 TestStand applications that use a number of LabView 2013 VIs on a test computer.  When the operator closes one TestStand program and opens another often Labview does not close properly and so when TestStand tries to load the LabView VIs it hangs or just runs and every test that is affected by LabView fails.  The only potential issues that I know about are that two of the applications were created in LabView 2009 and then updated to 2013.  Then two other TestStand applications that were created in 2013 use the function "UnloadAllModules". 
    Are there any known issues with LabView 2013 that cause this or any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Michael,
    I did find my issue.  In my case a VI was not getting closed properly in cleanup due to the previous command not passing the handler out correctly.  Thus this VI would remain open and when I ran another TestStand Sequence, when it tried to load that LabView VI it would just hang.  But the result of this error could be seen when I closed TestStand and LabView stayed open (since it was frozen) or when done running the sequence and closing it.  Then if you tried to pop-up LabView it would not show the starting splash screen because it had froze.
    I found the problem by turning on the show VI front panel option in TestStand for all of the VI calls.  The VI that stayed open was the problem VI.
    Thanks everyone who responded for your help!

  • Why does wireless hang up even with strong signal?

    Using airport extreme.  iMac shows all bars (strongest signal), but often seems to get stuck when web surfing.  Any thoughts?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Question: Why does DVDSP "hang: when adding subtitles

    I'm having a real problem adding subtitles to my 3.7 GB project. It's all built and I was in the process of adding subtitles to the 1 hr 30 minute film. Yesterday it worked fine, copying and pasting from a text application into subtitles I'm making as I go, but today it's been a nightmare.
    I find after only two or there additions, I suddenly get the spinning wheel "program not responding" and have to force quit. I reopen the project and if I'm lucky I can add two or three subtitles, saving each time, before I get the"spinning wheel of frustration".
    (problem posting this message so this is a repost)
    I have no idea what's causing it. But it DVDSP at this stage of my project definitely doesn't like subtitles being edited, moved or played. It becomes unstable and then hangs.
    I've downloaded the latest security update incase that helped, turned off the clock, (old habit) Nothing works.
    A project that was going to take two hours to finish looks like taking two days now! I'll plod on but I could really do with some help.
    Any ideas?

    My company requires us to use iPads to access a web site where we enter information on our patients.  Whenever I tap the save or submit button in either Safari or Mercury the application hangs with no activity in the title bar.  I can tap the home key and run other apps but the browsers hang.  The only other computers I have access to are Windows desktops and the same site works fine on them.  I've tried this through wi-fi and through 3G with the same results.  Any suggestions on what I can try or change to stop this issue?

  • Why does it hang when downloading windows support software? its been downloading for hours stuck at about 20%. I'm on a current ten macbook air.

    takes forever, I honestly don't think its doing anything. I'v already have windows 7 installed on a seperate partition... no help to bootcamp, I just need the drivers. I really don't understand why the only option of obtaining the hardware drivers is on a god-only-knows-how-many-gigabyte file through the bootcamp application... it would be SOO much easier if it just gave us a link on a site where we can download em individually. I'v seen alot of others complain about the download status bar freezing at around 20% aswell. if it is downloading anything, the status bar is broken... and thats annoying. maybe I'm just being ignorant. can someone who knows better please explain a more convinient method of obtaining windows 7 drivers for a  macbook air?

    hehe
    it was same for me too but its not stuck at 60%, be patience.
    What was i do on that time i keep it for whole night and morning it was done so almost i kept for 12hr.
    Try again it will be done.

  • Why does Thunderbird hang when a login dialog is open at the same time as a file save dialog?

    This happens frequently. And if there is any open email I am composing at the same time, it is LOST. This appears to be a bug that would rarely trigger in the normal case, but I have several email accounts active at once and one of them sometimes throws up a login window. If I happen to simultaneously be trying to save an attachment, the save dialog pops up and neither "Save" nor "Cancel" buttons work anymore and it is impossible to get the login dialog to respond. Thunderbird cannot respond to window cycle requests, so I can't even get to the edit windows to screen-shot them. The only thing I can do is kill the process and lose everything.

    printscrn on the keyboard should still work unless the operating system is also dead.
    However, while it may be a bug please try the following steps to make sure.
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''.

    I wrote an applet which open a new JFrame. In the frame I used buttons and borders. Everthing is fine when I use the appletviewer but when I reach it via Internet only apart of buttoms shows directly (if any) and no border is seen. The butttons can be shown if I move the mouse over the area they use. Border never shown up. Because of that the whole thing seems different. How can I control how it looks?

    Are there any stylesheets defined for this html? Probably there are stylesheets included which redefine the button styles...
    I also faced a similar situation when a popup windows's buttons were rendered differently on mozilla. I right-clicked on the popup window, selected 'view page source' and saved it. In the source file i noticed there were some style sheets linked by <link> tags which defined the style for buttons etc. When I commented out the <link> tag line, buttons were displayed normally.
