WindowManger notifies activity - linux

I'm looking for a tiling window manager that support notification of activity.
What I mean for it?
Let's say that I have a terminal command running on workspace 1, because it is a very slow command I would like to be notify when the prompt appears again. When it is running I'm working on workspace 2.
Another example, I usually keep the thunderbird on a workspace. Let's say that it is workspace 4. When I receive a new email, the workspace 4 notifies me. Why not use the thunderbird notification? It is huge and usually take all the space of my terminal when I'm working with 2 or 3 opened.
Someone knows a tile WM that supports this type of notification?
Another good example is the screen command. I can configure it to monitor the terminal and it notifies me when I'm in other terminal.
Thanks.

Blueprism Application Modeller showing Launch instead of Identify when spying

I am using BluePrism v6.1.0 and I am trying to identify elements from a launched application in Application Modeller. (I used the Windows application type in the modeler configuration)
From some tutorials I saw, the launch button changes to Identify button after the app is launched, however, mine is still showing "Launch". Please see screenshot below

You need to launch the application from the application modeller, not on your own.
Since you are using Windows 10, the built in applications are use differently than normal in windows 7. Here is how you can add the code to make it work with your system Screenshot. Also for future applications use this code in Windows Power Shell to get information about the application you wanted to work with in Window 10 : "Get-AppxPackage"
Not fully explained here but this can also mean not only is the app not launched but blueprism can't "see" the app is launched. Two ways to solve this so close the application and relaunch it then it will change to identify, OR you can attach the current instance of the object to the running application.
Either way the outcome is you're making blueprism see the active application so it will change the launch to an identify option.
Edit: watch out as well, if you connect your application to blue prism and then detach it blue prism will no longer see the running application hence will revert the identify option into a launch option.

How to automatically start and advance a few steps in an application in background in linux?

I'm using Genymotion to run WhatsApp on Ubuntu 13.04 as I don't own an Android.
To get to Whatsapp everytime I login, I have to
1) open terminal and run ~genymotion/genymotion
2) click a button on the GUI which opens up another new window (play button).
3) wait for about 30s for the device to get ready.
How can I make the computer do these first two steps automatically for me at start up?
Even better if it possible to do them in background, i.e., I shouldn't see the GUI opening. It should perform the steps and be "minimized".
I was thinking if there was a way to record what my click does and then put it in a script.
Something like a strace command.
I hope my question is clear enough. I'm relatively new to Linux.
For now Genymotion allows you to start a VM from the command line, by calling the "player" binary, and passing the VM name as a parameter.
You could write a shell script that:
run: <GENYMOTION PATH>/player --vm-name <VM NAME>,
wait some seconds for the VM to boot: sleep 10,
then use adb to start your Application: adb shell am start -n com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.Main
Luckily, no need to simulate clicks for this.

Gmail meter (Google apps script) sends error notifications even after deleting the file with script

I've installed Gmail Meter script in Google Documents and launched it. It demanded many permissions and access to many google account elements. Script works quite slowly and meanwhile I decided to take back those permissions because they were too wide. An hour later I got mail notification about error, script cannot work without permissions.
I tried to turn off this working script but didn't find the way so I deleted (permanently) the file in which I installed the script. Since then I get every day 3 error notifications. I can turn off them (there is a link in a mail) but I'm more interested in terminating the script? What should I do?
Indeed the triggers should be terminated once the spreadsheet has been moved to trash. This is a known issue:
Issue 143: Spreadsheets with time triggered scripts should no longer trigger when spreadsheet is deleted
You can star this issue and turn the triggers off via the link in the email.
You can access all your script projects by opening the script editor and selecting Resources > All your triggers. Find the triggers you want to delete and click the 'x' icon next to them.
You should delete the triggers ...

Setting Programs on Redhat5 Startup

I have a Redhat 5 OS, a dual monitor setup, and two workspace. When the machine reboots, I want to set the following:
On workspace 1,
* run the thunderbird-client on the left monitor.
* run 3 terminal clients on the right monitor.
On workspace 2,
* run firefox on the right monitor.
Can someone point me as to where I can set these settings? I am sure there is a way since when my machine boots up, couple of terminal clients pops up, my irc chat client pops up as well. I do not know how I did this before.
You could try Devil's Pie (yum install devilspie)
It's a tool for creating rules that will bind specific actions to applications as they are launched (i.e. setting workspace, position, transparency, etc...).
I found some doc here: http://www.foosel.org/linux/devilspie and here: http://live.gnome.org/DevilsPie
Of course, saving your workspace on logout can help too (System > Preferences > More Preferences > Sessions, then check "Automatically save changes to session").
Once you have setup your application rules, you could write a simple Bash script to start them all in sequence, and add that script to the Startup programs in the sessions preferences.

Launching a web page in a different process

I want to launch the browser in a different process when a particular link is clicked on the page. When I checked the net I found the following tip: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/3849 . But there we have to change the registry. Is there any simple way of doing this without touching the registry?
If you use the Google Chrome browser, each new window or tab runs in a separate process. Internet Explorer version 8 will do the same (it's currently in the second beta round).
Earlier versions of IE will run a new window in a separate process if it is launched from, say, the Start menu or the command line, or a link in an email (but not by clicking a link within IE). I imagine you could create a proxy that the client would run through, which would intercept the links you care about and launch them by running a command line request. That seems like more trouble than mucking with the registry though (assuming that registry change still works -- looks like your link is from 2002).
I don't believe this is possible unless you change the client computer setup or software it's running.
Why do you want to do this?
