Thats very cool - wonder where they got that nice list of AppleScript actions...

diff -bi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.applesaved This will show you the changes between your config file and the new one installed with the update. more info here: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9374&highlight=diff

Not sure if your install has this - but many unix/Linux apps have a "ctl" script that is usually just a wrapper script to cleanly star/stop/restart services. Apache has one, Qmail has one, and in my case my install of MySQL has one. Try issuing: mysqlctl stop The usage for this is: usage...

You can get a package called cdrecord that will damn near record any type of media/format. Mind you cdrecord is ported from Linux/Unix and is completely CLI oriented. The options and capabilities could take months to learn. But with a little tenacity you could probably figure out how to burn the...

Not sure if this is what you are looking for - but I have weened myself from online chat services and setup my own Jabber chat server on my Linux server box. Jabber is also installable on Mac via Fink. Jabber is in rapid development. I have not seen it used yet - but since Jabber is XML-based...

I have an old HP IIcx and its supported in VueScan. I suspect that if my OLD HP is supported then most HP's should work with VueScan.

Man that would be great if you could create a LinkSys GUI for the logging features. I have always wanted something like that. Not sure if this will help you any - but there are a few Perl scripts for accessing the LinkSys here <http://homepage.mac.com/levanj/LinkSys/> that you might be able...

Supposedly VPC6 runs x% faster - but running it on a G4 w Altivec yields little more than misery. I have it on my machine (and have had it since v3.0) for a few tasks I must run in Windows (like compiling Director projects for Windows). It is and probably always will be doggedly slow. You click...

You could also let the cron task do the math for you: wakein `echo "60*60*2" | bc` would be two hours. wakein `echo "60*20" | bc`would be 20 mins. The hard thing is figuring out which time zone this thing works in. Still haven't wrapped my head around that yet.

iScreensaver (currently only OS 9 - OS X coming soon???) http://iscreensaver.net/ iScreenMaker (OS X only) http://www.iscreenmaker.com/ Both of those will make screensavers out of Quicktime and Flash files. Not sure if either will make cross-platform screensavers. Seems to me I...

I read that removing the VCD was the problem also - so I removed that a month ago. Never stopped the msgs - still get them just as often.

I asked this question a month or so ago on several forums and got no response. I would like to do the same thing - use sftp is what I was thinking. Apparently no one knows how and I have not figured it out. You can always create an ssh tunnel - but like you I prefer to have ftp nowhere near my...

There is also a thread at MacOSXHints about using a component of the EyeTV pkg that will wake a sleeping Mac. Apparently the functions exist in Jag - just no EnergySaver interface yet. Note you do not have to install or own an EyeTV to use this technique. You only use a small binary that you...

You don't want to change the static routing though - that is something completely different. The static IP setting you want is on the very first page you will pull up when you go to http://192.168.1.1. There is a drop down menu that allows you to choose the type of connection - choose Static IP...

Audio Hijack - nuff said! Itunes will not convert from WMA to MP3.

You will lose whatever is on the partition you choose to install YDL onto. If I am not mistaken - YDL needs to update the FS (filesystem) on the partition and therefore basically wipes that partition clean before installing. In my case I had Mac OS X and OS 9 on a single partition so I was...

The docs for YDL are not to clear onthe whole partitioning setup. For example I wanted to install it on my iBook which was running OS X with 2 partitions. I wanted to leave OS X partition alone and use the 2nd partition for YDL install. Since the docs make it sound like YDL installer will delete...

You could probably do something like this with the standard Apache module mod_rewrite. See the Apache docs.

I would be sure you really need Apache 2.x before you upgrade. Besides the usual OSX versus the Unix free world installation issues - IMHO Apache 2 is not ready for production server. I installed Apache 2 and updated PHP , etc. on my Linux servers and just had nothing but trouble around every...

FYI - the MacWorld mag I rec yesterday has an article on installing and using MySQL and also on using Golive with MySQL. Prob not worth buying the whole issue for those article - but you might peruse them when they come online at MacWorld site.
