Have a look into the system log: less /var/log/system.log

You can legally download the developer tools from developer.apple.com (December 2000 was the last release).

info COMMAND will give you the info page for the particular COMMAND, containing the complete syntax, application examples etc... man COMMAND opens the man page for the particular COMMAND which is normally not as verbose as the corresponding info page

Another point. Do you think it's correct to use /dev/stdout in your wget invocation? man wget suggests to use - as stdout, i.e.: wget -q -O - 'http://checkip.dyndns.org/'

As I said, it is a path issue. All the data which is to be retrieved with your wget call is missing, so I would suggest to use the absolute path to wget instead (i.e. the wget command is obviously not found when your script is invoked with the Launcher utility).

Probably a path problem, i.e. the osascript command is not found. Try using the absolute path.

OS X has the iODBC driver manager integrated. This allows to use any database which provides an ODBC driver. However, it currently lacks unicode support so it cannot be used in all environments. I heard some time ago that Apple is working on it.

Yes, this is a known issue. OS X regularly shuts down the sound subsystem to save energy. The delay you encounter is the time it takes to bring it up again. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106766 There is a freeware called KeepSoundAwake which provides a workaround for...

On the Windows box, configure the particular printer driver to print to a file. You can do this in the properties dialog of the particular printer in the Windows printer control panel. Now repeat your print job and have a look into the resulting file afterwards, i.e. open this file with a...

IMO you should not rely on the current directory. I see two options: 1) In main() use argv[0] which refers to your executable to locate your data files. 2) Use a commonly-used location to store your data, e.g. into ~/Library/Yourapp/data/ if the data files are user-related.

gdb - of course, how could I forget...

This is called memory protection. Each process (aka. program) has its own virtual address space and cannot access foreign processes' memory. Only the OS X kernel can do that. You would need to write a kernel driver to achieve that, a normal program cannot do so.

Newer sendmail versions indeed have 2 daemons running, one which handles incoming mail and the other which runs the queue. However, have you checked in sendmail.cf if your M4 configuration has been applied? If not, it might be necessary to re-create your sendmail.cf. I'm not sure about...

UPDATE: I got the replacement battery yesterday and it cured the problem. It came with 8 percent charge. When charging it for the first time it showed the same behavior than the previous one, i.e. charging up to 70 percent and then suddenly jumping to 100 percent. However, after that it works...

If this has ever worked before then you not only updated the sendmail software but changed your mail configuration in addition. You try to send your mail with a local From address directly to a yahoo address. >>> MAIL From:<dconroy@david-conroys-computer.local> SIZE=8 Yahoo will defer...

The problem here is that you forgot to re-install the DevTools after updating to 10.2.5 ;)

Using the absolute path should work, i.e. /sw/bin/xchat instead of xchat. You can find out about the path by executing: type -p xchat

The following applies to the Apache web server which is common on Mac OS X and Linux. Within the httpd.conf configuration file you find a DocumentRoot directive and an associated Directory directive. Both should point to the root of your document hierarchy. You can of course configure this as...

Yes but his problem is that he cannot even open the terminal anymore to fixup things. I suggest to use a different shell temporarily. In Terminal preferences, change the shell command to bash instead of tcsh, this will launch the bash shell which does not read the .tcshrc and .cshrc files...

You need at least the source code and then compile it yourself. I doubt that the source code is available at all. Even if it is it will probably not compile out of the box. If you are an experienced C/C++ programmer you could take the challenge to port it to OS X which certainly would be a major...
