I want to automate pushing the "Reload current calibrations" button on the advanced tab of the Color Management control panel applet. Ideally, I'd ...
Our SQL Server 2000 instance hosts several databases which are all similar, one for each of our client. When comes the time to update them all, we use Red Gate SQL Compare to generate a migration script between the development database and a copy of the current state DB of all the clients database. SQL Compare generates a script which i...
Hey Everyone, I'm trying to find some useful Open Source Testing Automation Tools for use with the .NET framework. I've done a fair bit of research, but unfortunately, most of the tools I have found focus on testing web applications only. There are 3 types of programs that we run in order to make our software do what it needs to do: We...
My project is in early development. I frequently delete the database and run manage.py syncdb to set up my app from scratch. Unfortunately, this always pops up: You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined. Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): Then you have supply a username, vali...
I've been trying to automate opening and populating a Word file on network but came across an issue when trying to open the file from a mapped network drive. I can open the file from my c:\ drive and I changed the Apache settings to run as a user rather than as a local service. The script runs perfectly well in the Zend environment doing...

The intent is to allow the user to select 1 or more rows from the spreadsheet, capture the select event, and then retrieve all the data from the selected rows for further processing. I know this would be simple ...

Hi! I've been looking for an easy and automated way to detect changes on my database structure so I can check them into subversion and be able to roll back to older versions etc. Now I found phpMyVersion, which seems to do exactly that job. I didn't have time to look into it in great detail, but does anyone of you have some experiences...

I have a script that runs several little programs I don't have the source code to, one of which requires filling out some fields in a GUI. I've been doing this by hand, but I'd like to have the Perl script focus the GUI window, then enter some hardcoded text into each field and close the window. ...

Basically I need to write a script, python code or whatever, to send some know commands to the server via telnet, and preferable capture the output. Then return when done. ...

For example I pass configuration data to the app which then fires up and sends a data to my 'receive' socket. It should also output debug information.

Hi all, Currently I get to edit a lot of Spring.NET XML files, and I do find this work to quite repetitive and, frankly boring. Most of the stuff I do is sort of 'refactoring' - generalising XML declaration for instances and "inheriting" from those generalised structures to declare more specific ones. As I said, it's a no-brainier typ...
We're moving our test server onto a new box, and I need to migrate all of our components that are in Component Services to the new box. We have all of the COM dll files located in sub folders in a COM directory on the server, and we want to copy that entire directory and register all the applications in Component Services just like they ...
