Seems klist still dies here: $ sw_vers ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.1.3 BuildVersion: 5Q45 $ klist -s zsh: bus error klist -s

Of course, since kernel extensions are only loaded on a need-basis, deleting them shouldn't affect performance much (only when rebuilding that cache). To see what extensions are currently loaded, run sudo kmodstat According to my system, 63 are currently loaded. Also, note, there...

Actually, looking at /etc/rc, it appears the cache should be rebuilt if anything in the Extensions directory is changed (the -ot part): if [ ! -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext -o \ /System/Library/Extensions.mkext -ot /System/Library/Extensions ]; then # rebuild cache here So...

Yup, that one PDF has quite a few useful little tidbits buried inside. One of the few reasons I use Acrobat Reader instead of Preview to read it is for doing searches... For those who don't have it, mine is at /Developer/Documentation/Essentials/SystemOverview/SystemOverview.pdf which...

The change I posted was against the ttys file, yes, but note the switch -LogoutHook is against loginwindow.app, which is run on the local console, for the GUI login. So when you logout from Finder, this runs. I agree that shutdown procedures are yet to be implemented, however.

You need the developer tools which provides cc (C compiler) and other tools.

That appears to be running The X Window System, the standard GUI for most Unix and OpenVMS systems. A binary for OS X should be available from the XonX website. This is the free version of X Windows, known as XFree86. For a window manager, that picture is using WindowMaker which is what...

To run a shell script on a user's logout, you need to edit /etc/ttys. Near the top, there is a line that looks like (note, this is actually one line in the file) console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/loginwindow" vt100 on secure...

ircII builds and runs nicely.

It's looking for (and not finding) a C compiler. Did you install the developer tools? You may have it on CD, but if not, it's a free download from Apple's Developer Connection; you need to create an account, but the basic level is free and allows you to download these tools.

The avoidance of running dynamic_pager is a good one (someday, Apple should get around to documenting it), as I think I once killed my machine running it a second time... However, you're running /etc/rc another time by dotting it in the startup script. I'm not sure what effects this may...

To find out which process is using a given port, use lsof in Terminal: $ sudo lsof -i :22 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME sshd 268 root 3u inet 0x01a87f8c 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) Simply replace the 22 above with your port number, and look...

I say head on over to CPAN and find one to your liking (last one I used was HTML::Template, which was quite nice). If you want a description of several template systems, perl.com ran a nice, long article on this very subject.

How long did you wait for the script? That ping has to timeout before it fails, so it may take several minutes (probably two, but maybe more).

Right...search just for 6990, Wonder if the typo is Freudian in nature?

So now we know why you keep changing the look, to watch the ensuing confusion for your own personal amusement...

With the previous look, there was a second style set you could use, called Blue, which had a nice aqua look to it (you can set the style set in the user control panel, then edit options). Now there's just the default look... Not sure why Admiral is still seeing the old look though; that's weird.

And for the lazy typist (like me) who usually copies to the home directory, you can scp somefile.tar user@remote: to put it straight into your homedir; this is useful if you have accounts at different companies/ISPs/servers/etc where each one has different logic for placing homes, and...
