Script detection if Thunderbird is running.

For a year or more, I have been using a vbs script that is supposed to cancel automatically if it finds that Thunderbird is running. The script always done by checking the presence of the file session.json in the Thunderbird profile - if session.json was absent, the script would give up because she knew that Thunderbird is running.

This morning, however, this feature began to fail every time - session.json (both in the Profiles folder and in my individual profile subfolder) now rest in place, if Thunderbird is running. The same thing happens with parent.lock.

Is this a change in Thunderbird (I use version 31.5.0, with Win 7/64), or is there something wrong with my particular Setup? If my installation is broken, how can I do? And if this is the new normal, is there another way to my script can tell if Thunderbird is running? Thanks in advance for your help.

You can try to delete the Parent.lock. If its use in you get an error, otherwise it will be deleted.

These tools can help you: esp with PsExec Pstools.

  • Tiara startup script does not work when running file associated with

    Hi Bala,

    Depending on your use case, I suggest you call the next VI, which comes with LabVIEW, after your purchase VI is the creation of the data file.  Just pass the data file path in the upper part of entry and your path to the VBScript file in less than entry.

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\vi.lib\ExportToExcel\DIAdem report Assistant Start CSC.vi '.

  • Detect the hardware to run VI

    I'll preface this by saying: I'm in the early stages of learning about Labview, if it's probably obvious by my question.

    I want to just run my VI if a specific device - a NI USB-6229 (Dev1) case is detected, both at the start of the program at any time during the execution of the program I'm only using this device and my program is not intended to be used on any computer other than mine, so I don't think I need a table of product names or device types as I've seen in other posts and examples of programs. I don't want to add anything to the façade. I just want to stop running my VI if data acquisition is not connected or becomes disconnected at any time. Below is what I want to do, if I understand is not the right way to code.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    That's how you get the type of device.  Maybe this will help you get started.

  • How to detect if RTEXE is running on the controller RT SMU-8133

    Hello

    I need to know my PC if some executables RT runs on the remote computer RT (SMU-8133).
    Y at - it anyway how to detect in LabVIEW, if an application is running in real time and possibly only one?

    Thank you very much.

    Martin

    The important point is that call a distance VI in this way, you assume that the VI is already in memory. In this case, you don't have to give a full path, just the name of the VI.

  • Detect the first application running

    I create an application with a SQLlite database in the SD card. The application is already installed in the device and the database has already been created on the SD card.

    However, I have a newer version of the application and a newer database structure for it. I want to change the database table when the user launches the application newer version for the first time.

    The problem is: how to detect that the application is running for the first time?

    You have many options to do so, but according to my suggestion, you can have an object stored in the persistent store to indicate the version of the app and start can check if the application has the same version number as the stored object.

  • DETECT if bluetooth is running GOLD Detection phone

    Scenario:

    I have an application that needs bluetooth to connect to a bluetooth serial port device.

    App has always runs and starts at startup

    The app is eliminated through BES with ALL permissions on the phone.

    Bluetooth on phones is set to "enabled" when we set up the phones.

    Users of phones often don't have access to the phone (the phone is locked and they do not know the password by design)

    Problem:

    If the phone is turned off with the switch, and turn it on again, my application sometimes tries to use bluetooth until the phone has had a chance to actually turn the bluetooth on leading to a prompt to the user asking to activate bluetooth. Business model requires that this message does not happen because of limitations user power click YES.

    If remove us the battery and put back in all works fine because I integrated into my app at initial startup delay not to try to talk to bluetooth for a minute, which gives ample time to the phone to activate bluetooth.

    All I can think of is of

    1 detect that the phone is switched on and set a deadline for try no bluetooth

    2. check if bluetooth is activated and not try to get it if it isn't.

    3. ?? {Another excellent idea}

    Anyone have any help or advise or Questions?

    Ken

    No matter how long I look in something, I always find the answer (if it exists) immediately after I ask a question here!

    It shows how to capture power change events .

    With that I anticipate an indicator that signals the rest of the sons app that he is allowed to proceed to their treatment.

    Your original script becomes

    $report = @()
    $fileLocation = "C:\test.html"
    Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine | where {"toolsNotInstalled","toolsNotRunning" -contains $_.Guest.ToolsStatus} | %{
        $vms = "" | Select-Object VMName, VMState, ToolsStatus, ToolsVersion    $vms.VMName = $_.Name
        $vms.VMState = $_.summary.runtime.powerState
        $vms.ToolsStatus = $_.guest.toolsstatus
        $vms.ToolsVersion = $_.config.tools.toolsversion
        $Report += $vms}
    $Report | `ConvertTo-Html -title "VMware Tools Out of Date, Not Installed and Not Running" -body "

    VMware Tools Out of Date, Not Installed and Not Running

    " | `Out-File -Append $filelocation Note that the script only uses the Get-View cmdlet, this will make it considerably faster than your original version.

  • MXL Script in the Windows box running against Essbase on UNIX

    We use the ESSMSH command on a Windows machine to run a MXL script that runs on an Essbase cube on a Unix machine. The MXL script calls a script to calc which exports a cube's data and writes the output file to a directory on the Unix machine. The MXL script then uses the import command to load the previously exported data. The problem I have is pointing the command to import the file on the Unix machine. I tried to use "dbname IMPORT DATA FROM SERVERTEXT FROM datafile... ", but I can't seem to make it work.

    I got a MXL script to work to do the same thing but the throw from a shell on the Essbase server script. It just seems to be delicate at the launch of MXL from machine Windows going against an Essbase cube on a Unix machine.

    Someone at - it for implementing recommendations implemented when you launch the MXL script from a Windows machine?

    Thank you.

    Terri T.

    If you place the file in the app/application/base directory on the Unix server, you should be able to call from the Windows box. I think you have to use a .txt extension.

  • Script detection and redirection Shocwave

    I'm looking for a good detection and redirection of shockwave script for a Web site.

    It is likely that a number of visitors to this site will be on computers account restricted (e.g. in schools), so they will not be able to automatically install shockwave if this isn't already on their computer.

    For those users I want to redirect to a page where they are informed that they need Shockwave and they should install it... or visit another page linking to a download version of the site.

    However, I am struggling to find something.

    I have Director MX2004 and scripts provided in the section "Publish" do not seem to work, and Googling shockwave detection brings up many pages on earthquakes, which, while interesting, are not, helping me progress.

    Does anyone know what it is?

    Thank you

    Patch

    Thanks for that. I had found this before, but it doesn't seem to work when I tried it.

    It seems that I have 11.0.3r470 drive installed on my computer, and this script was told that it was not the most current, even when I was checking for 10.1. However if change the value of tMinorVersion to 0, then it works.

    Looking at the script it seems to be a problem with the logic of the tests carried out. I made a few changes, and it seems to work.

    I enclose the modified code in case it helps someone else.

  • On my new laptop (Windows 8), Thunderbird is running very slowly, fails to show a lot of incoming emails and often becomes unusable.

    I have now two portable Windows 8, but I installed Thunderbird on one of them (an Acer). He gave continual problems.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it made no difference. I had no problem on this machine with other programs and no problem with Thunderbird on Windows 7 machines.
