Have the clock in a Zabbix screen show host time - time

In Zabbix 3.2, I am setting up a screen for a new server, and want to configure a clock that shows the local time from the monitored host.
This is how I configured the screen element:
I have checked in Latest Data that the Host localtime is being received (it is).
However, when I save this screen configuration, the display just says, "No data":
How do you display the time on the monitored host?

In order for this screen element to work, you have to use system.localtime[local] item (which returns a string in a certain format, see item documentation) instead of the default system.localtime (which returns an integer timestamp).
The system.localtime[local] item returns a string like the following:
2016-12-07,09:36:59.688,+02:00
It allows the frontend to nicely display the time zone:

SAP Script Recording and Playback - Cumulative data

If I am using the Script Recording and Playback feature on same transaction for instance ME25, multiple times, I am getting cumulative data as part of multiple scripts rather than incremental data.
Explanation :
If I open ME25 details and enter "100-310" as Material and "Ball Bearing" as Short Text and stop the recording, I get the following script, which is expected behavior.
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/ctxtEBAN-MATNR[3,0]").text = "100-310"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/txtEBAN-TXZ01[4,0]").text = "Ball Bearing"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/txtEBAN-TXZ01[4,0]").setFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/txtEBAN-TXZ01[4,0]").caretPosition = 12
After this, I restart the recording and type Qty Requested as "100" and delivery date as "21.04.2021" and stop the recording. I get the following script:
session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/ctxtEBAN-MATNR[3,0]").text = "100-310"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/txtEBAN-TXZ01[4,0]").text = "Ball Bearing"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/txtEBAN-MENGE[5,0]").text = "100"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/ctxtRM06B-EEIND[8,0]").text = "21.04.2021"
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/ctxtEBAN-EKGRP[9,0]").setFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tblSAPMM06BTC_0106/ctxtEBAN-EKGRP[9,0]").caretPosition = 0
Instead of getting the incremental part that I typed for the second recording instance, I am getting complete script. Is there a way to achieve incremental scripts?
I can reproduce in my SAP GUI 7.60 (whatever screen it is; whatever kind of field it is, I can reproduce even with very simple fields like in a Selection Screen).
It seems that it happens all the time, even if you write your own recorder (a VBS script which mainly uses session.record = True + event handlers). It's due to the fact that SAP GUI sends all the screen events (i.e. the user actions) since the screen was entered, when the user presses a button, a function key, closes a window, or stops the SAP GUI Recorder.
If you write your own recorder, I guess you can save the screen contents when you start the recorder, and when the "change" events occur you may ignore those ones where the new field value has not changed since the recorder started. But that's a lot of work.
I think that it's far more easy to append manually the last lines of the last script to the initial script.

Trigger indefinite notification on Windows 10

I'm trying to trigger a notification which has no expiry but must be closed by pressing the top-right X close button. Is this possible?
I've been able to trigger a timed notification which also closes when anywhere else is clicked. With this answer.
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Windows.Forms")
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Drawing")
$notify = new-object system.windows.forms.notifyicon
$notify.icon = [System.Drawing.SystemIcons]::Information
$notify.visible = $true
$notify.showballoontip(10,"New Chat!","You have received New Chat!",[system.windows.forms.tooltipicon]::None)
Per Microsofts NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip Method documentation, the actual timeout property is set by the current system settings.
Minimum and maximum timeout values are enforced by the operating system and are typically 10 and 30 seconds, respectively, however this can vary depending on the operating system. Timeout values that are too large or too small are adjusted to the appropriate minimum or maximum value. In addition, if the user does not appear to be using the computer (no keyboard or mouse events are occurring) then the system does not count this time towards the timeout.
According to a couple of more google searches, you can set the time for your profile through the Registry ( Regedit - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility: MessageDuration - didn't work for me).
Through group policy, or using theSystemParametersInfo API which is out of my league to explain any further. Only reference I can find was configuring the Accessibility/System Parameter: SPI_SETMESSAGEDURATION.
Its C++ though and only other article I could find was this one:SystemParametersInfoA function.
Seems possible but, it will definitely be a hassle to get it working.

How to detect sender and destination of a notification in dbus-monitor?

My goal is to filter notifications coming from different applications (mainly from different browser window).
I found that with the help of the dbus-monitor I can write a small script that could filter the notification messages that I am interested in.
The filter script is working well, but I have a small problem:
I am starting with the
dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications', destination=':1.40'"
command. I have to added the "destination=':1.40'" because on Ubuntu 20.04 I always got twice the same notification.
The following output of
dbus-monitor --profile "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"
demonstrate the reason:
type timestamp serial sender destination path interface member
# in_reply_to
mc 1612194356.476927 7 :1.227 :1.56 /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications Notify
mc 1612194356.483161 188 :1.56 :1.40 /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications Notify
As you can see the sender :1.277 sends to :1.56 first than this will be the sender to :1.40 destination. (Simply notify-send hello test message was sent)
My script is working on that way, but every time system boot up, I have to check the destination number and modify my script accordingly to get worked.
I have two questions:
how to discover the destination string automatically? (:1.40 in the above example)
how to prevent system sending the same message twice? (If this question would be answered, than the question under point 1. became pointless.)

Visual Basic: How to use timer properly

I'm trying to write a simple program that could perform some tasks at specified time.
Here's what I have:
If (TimeOfDay = "06:12:50") Then
MsgBox(TimeOfDay)
End If
If (TimeOfDay = "06:13:58") Then
MsgBox(TimeOfDay)
End If
This code is placed inside Timer1_Tick, I set time interval - 1000 and it works OK, I get TimeOfDay value in MsgBox when current time is equal to my specified time.
But what should I do to make it work dynamically? For example: I want to type TIME value via TextBox and pass it to Timer1_Tick I need to do it as many times as I want so everytime current time matches with my specified hour,minute,second it would work, but I don't know where I have to put my code, because if I place code in while loop and in Time_Ticker1 it runs while loop every second and UI crashes immediately.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Have you considered setting a Windows Scheduled event of MSG to yourself using the AT command line? The operating system timer/scheduler, dialog, storage and queue are already there and the MSG can optionally be dismissed if there is no one to receive it within a set amount of time. Example to send the time at 06:12:15 run the following into a command shell.
AT 06:12:15 msg %USERNAME% It is 06:12:15 am

Glympse API - Prefil the Name of the Receivers in the Send Wizard

As there is a way to preset the Duration, Destination, Invitee Message, So Can we preset the Recipients of the Glympse too ?
One more thing I would like to ask is that I want to make Time Duration Wheel as Non Editable for that I am using following configuration:
final int WIZARD_FLAGS
= LC.SEND_WIZARD_INVITES_EDITABLE
| LC.SEND_WIZARD_MESSAGE_READONLY
| LC.SEND_WIZARD_DESTINATION_READONLY
| LC.SEND_WIZARD_TIME_READONLY;
// Launches the wizard which will send the Glympse
glympse.sendTicket(ticket, WIZARD_FLAGS);
But the Time Duration Field is still showing as EDITABLE, I just donot want to make it EDITABLE
Please tell me
The way to preset a recipient is to add an invite to the ticket before calling sendTicket like this:
_activeTicket = LiteFactory.createTicket(DURATION, MESSAGE, DESTINATION);
_activeTicket.addInvite(GC.INVITE_TYPE_SMS, "My friend", "555-555-5555");
// Launch the wizard with these pre-populated values and settings
GlympseLiteWrapper.instance().getGlympse().sendTicket(_activeTicket, 0);
As for setting the timer as read only, you have the correct flag set, but I see a bug that causes that flag to not work as intended. Currently the wheel can be edited even though it has no effect on the actual duration of the ticket (notice the time in the center goes up but the expire time above the wheel stays the same).
We'll make sure this is fixed in the next SDK release. For now even though it looks like the duration can be changed, the ticket that is sent will be the duration that you specify as a preset.
