I want to be able to find out which version of MacOSX I am running from the terminal. Is there a command line tool to do this? "uname" only reports back the version of the kernal. Nothing more. I need to know which version (ie: 10.1.5) of MacOSX. Bob..

Hi! Heheheh, I was used to aufofs on the IRIX platform, too.. The only way to do this, was to use an hacked version of automount to act like "autofs". I have a copy of this kicking around. I'll find out if I can distribute it. Or, atleast allow some code snippets out, so that you can make...

Howdy.. While PerlTK is available to be compiled using the Xwindows version, it would be nice to have PerlTK work with the native Aqua based tcl/tk that is now available. bob.

According to apple, you can intermix ObjC and C++ code together. I have yet to try this out. bob...

I didn't realize that perl tk was even being worked on. When I tried to compile it, there was a great deal of work needed, to get the Makefile.PL to even recognize MacOSX. bob.. (I'd be interested in putting some work into getting PerlTK to compile, but i am very unfamiliar with tcl/tk.)

Another way is to use "expect". It has the ability to grab a specific piece of text output from a pipe. So even though netstat was never designed to give you the feedback that you need, expect can be used to zero in on that snippet of text and yank it out for you. bob..

The globe appears, depending upon how you mount your NFS filesystems. (assuming you are using NFS, of course). If you create an "auto.map" style file, and use the automount command, the mount point will not show up in the finder at all.. (this has cause a lot of problems with some commerical...

Personally, I really like the ability to have windows and graphics from a remote unix system open up on my local desktop. It is a real shame that there is no X11 compatibility. That will greatly reduce the acceptance time by companies and groups that rely heavily on Unix/X11 (I am thinking of...

I just downloaded it too! Which app are you trying to compile? One thing that I wish that could be added is the Tk.pm perl module.. bob..

Have you tried using "zterm" for OSX? That might be able to use the serial port. Also, I'd try finding out what device the serial adaptor uses in the /dev directory. Bob..

After sending a message to Orange Micro, I have learned that they intend to have a driver ready in te 4th Quarter of this year. Hopefully, they will be able to stick this timeframe, as their website had originally mentioned a 3rd quarter timeframe. bob..

Greetings all.. I want to do the following: When a users selects a new network "Location" from the Apple menu, I want to have a script run to do some other tasks. (ie: change the netinfo database, auto.map files, NFS Mounts, etc..) Obviously Shell scripts can't be launched. But it would...

the "source" command also works with tcsh as well. Incidently, for those of you that wish to learn the shell a lot better, check out this book for Csh and Tcsh.. "The Unix C Shell Field Guide" by Gail Anderson and Paul Anderson ISBN 0-13-937468-X It is an excellent learning resouce for...

The server itself will have to have that ability. There isn't really a 3rd party tool to do what you want. Two ftp servers come to mind. But I don't know if there is any MacOSX support for them yet. 1> NcFTPd from www.ncftp.com This server is fairly easy to setup, but I have found it to...

Woohoo! I got it working.. It appears that Apple has fleshed out more services on the BSD side. However, 5G64 is a little incomplete. They have forgotten to include a key setting (or two) in the /etc/hostconfig file. For all concerned, please check out http://www.bresink.com/osx/nis.html...

Welp, I've started configuring my system, after wiping the drive and starting over. After following the procedure documented on a website about add a MacOSX system to a NIS domain, I rebooted to see if it would take. First thing I noticed, was that the /etc/hostconfig file was immediately...

Welp, after a lot of head-banging with MacOSX 10.0, I had managed to get NIS working. But now after installing 5G64, it looks as if there will be another round of tinkering to get NIS to work. If anyone out there has any successes, drop a note. bob..

Has anyone gotten this to work? I was under the believe that MacOSX work automatically work with Firewire video devices, such as the iBot.. bob..

Getting hosts.equiv and /.rhosts going takes a bit of attention to detail.. First, you need to read the SGI man pages thoroughly.. Pay attention to ownership and permissions on the /.rhosts file, especially. in either file, include both the IP address of the machines as well as the...

In many facilities, NIS is the only really cross-platform authentication means out there. Netinfo is *extremely* proprietary. I have wrestled with NIS on MacOSX for a while. It works, but only under ideal conditions. NIS on the mac has a mountain of bugs and incompatibilies. There is a...
