    read plist files from command line?

    That's great, I'll give it a try. It'll be a few days before I can get back to this project, but I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks for going through the trouble - this is a lot more of a response than I expected to get from a bulletin board!

    read plist files from command line?

    I actually had already tried defaults. The trouble is, the plist file I want to read is not actually a preferences file. It's /System/Library/Printers/IOMs/LPRIOM.plugin/Contents/version.plist From what I can tell, there is no way to get defaults to parse a specific file.

    read plist files from command line?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a command line tool to read values out of plist files? I'm trying to write a script to automate installing the Balthisar Ghostscript Network Printer package, and I want it to check the version of the LPR module before replacing it. I wanted to do something...

    any non-classic serial terminal emulators?

    I've heard people mention ZTerm, but I assume they're talking about the Classic (in the truest sense of the word 8-) ZTerm, not a Carbon or Cocoa one... Has anyone found a native OSX seraial terminal emulator? Even a command line one that I would run in Terminal.app would be fine.

    Ethernet?

    Dude, When was the last time you saw someone who didn't know what a crossover cable was, but had an RJ-45 crimper? No offense, I know you were just trying to be helpful. But I couldn't help but laugh!

    Anyone seen the new iMacs at Apple Stores?

    Amusing. I live in Rhode Island, but I was in the Palo Alto Apple store Sunday. I was there because the company I work for is in Sunnyvale. I won't say which company that is for fear of starting a feud, but let's just say "Every feature, every interface, @ line rate..." I'll tell you all one...

    How to restore disappearing user?

    Can anyone point me to references regarding disappearing user accounts? I'm running the X PB, and this is the second time my one and only administrator account (not root, just my own account) has disappeared. The files are still there, but they show up w/ an owner of 102 instead of my name. I...

    Changing MTU to get through PPPoE gateway?

    Does anyone know how to change the MTU for the ethernet interface in OSX (not for PPPoE)? ifconfig won't do it. My OSX box is behind a PPPoE/DSL router. Many web pages & other tcp apps fail because the responses are full 1500 byte packets, and they don't fit into PPPoE packets (*see below for...
