    Invoking a shell script graphically?

    Yes. And to figure out why this won't work.

    Invoking a shell script graphically?

    Well I did a <blockquote><b>which ssh</b></blockquote> just to make sure I was putting in the correct path. It didn't help. Thanks for the input anyway! Anyone else?

    Change Startup Disks During Boot

    Ask before jumping into a ravine, right? :) I do have two partitions on this computer, but both X and 9.1 are on the first partition. 8.5.1 is on the second to maintain access to an old version of VPC I occasionally use. Should I change anything in your script or should it work as you...

    Invoking a shell script graphically?

    With my addition, this string officially belongs in the Unix Newbie forum. :) I'll try to keep it short. I've created a shell script app with DropScript containing a simple command <b><blockquote>ssh username@servername</blockquote></b>It didn't work. I tried adding...

    Stealth Vs Closed Ports

    I've downloaded BrickHouse 1.0.2. After locking down everything coming in and then going to the "Sharing" System Pref panel and closing down everything that might allow outside access, I still don't seem to have a completely stealthed set of ports. When using NetBarrier under Mac OS 9, I...

    Mac OS X 10.0.1 Update Available

    I just installed the update and I must say that X is snappier than it was before without a doubt. Window resizes are faster in IE and the Finder (see my specs below). Processes (especially those with lots of image redraws like window movement, resizing, dock swooshing) are faster and less...

    Transparent Dock (Thanks Mac Addict!)

    I don't think this one was ever broken. I just checked it to be sure and it worked for me. BTW: It is, as you expect, a short explanation of how to replace the PDF files.

    So much for SoundJam

    My understanding is that they were both using the same programmer, but that this person wasn't necessarily an employee of C&G. Dunno.

    Mailbox Locked?

    Not that they offer any valid solutions, but here's a link to a page @ MacCentral that discusses the problem (and notes that Apple already knows about it): http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0104/12.diary.shtml

    Mailbox Locked?

    In the last few days, I've been getting an error almost daily from Mail (i.e. Apple's built-in mail program for X) that says something to the effect of: <blockquote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <hr><b>Open</b> The mailbox {mailbox path} is currently locked by {username}...

    Simple mind

    The word I've heard (no research yet) is that it's not there natively. I thought I saw a 3rd-party utility mentioned last week that would add this functionality. Didn't find it on a quick scan of versiontracker.com, though.

    Simple mind

    Not that this will be universal (and it's almost completely off the subject), but my keyboard was destroyed when I was transporting my Blue/White G3 Mac and it slipped off the passenger seat and smashed down onto my keyboard. Now I use an older ADB Apple keyboard. It's great except that it...

    Multiple Apple Menus in the Dock!!

    What I love about Mac OS that has been maintained in X is that if you create an alias of an item (a folder for this discussion) and move the original folder to a new location, the alias still resolves to the original folder. In Windows, this will break the alias (or rather, what they call a...

    Simple mind

    You asked if the folder/disk alias dropped into the dock will be there next time reboot. The answer is yes. The only things that leave the dock on reboot are applications that are not specifically put there for long-term access.

    Multiple Apple Menus in the Dock!!

    I did get the order wrong the first time I tried, if that's any consolation. :) BTW: This command is a perfect excuse to drag and drop folders from the Finder onto the Terminal. I just type<pre style="font-size:larger"><B>% ln -s</B></pre> and then drag and drop from the Finder to the...

    Goofy Dock "Bug"

    That is freakin' strange. I love it! Could this be the first Mac OS X Easter egg? Now we need to figure out what song it pulsates to. This could be like the "Dark Side of Oz" weirdness of last year. If we can find an appropriately titled song that "means something," we might have an...
