"ps aco user,pid,command" nothing you need pattern matching for...

Are you sure you want to use printf(1)? What is the task? Anyways, "sed" might be what you are looking for. I find it easier to use than awk. Better don't get started with the man page though. Look for an example-driven tutorial or similar, it might take you further in less time.

This is a task for xmodmap. I don't remember how I did that once, but the manual page says: % xmodmap -e "keysym BackSpace = Delete" % echo "XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?" | xrdb -merge It might not work, but it will get you on the right path ;)

This is usually a task for 'ps' rather than for 'top'. > ps uxcU afp would generate a top-like output for a given user.

This issue always re-occurs. Yet, I still haven't found out the best solutions. What works, is to link the Italian layout with the US layout: % cd /System/Library/Keyboards % mv USA.keymapping USA.keymapping.bak % ln -s Italiano.keymapping USA.keymapping It is not really a solution...

The Apple Hotline(!!) claims friendship, too, but I would doubt that they know more than Dlatu1983 ;) Better go for what btoneill suggests. Learning is yet finding a path somewhere to some solution. If you constantly perceive solutions you're missing out _your_ part, the exciting part :)...

If you want it at login time, write it into "~/.login", else it is easiest to set an alias: alias pu 'pushd /User/username/bin' alias po popd The task is to small to write a script for it.

Without bringing it up at large, my questions were: 1. How do I make the system (in whatsoever way - and regardless to all the implementations over the ages it is not working on) to stop following symbolic links? 2. Is any "hack" known to somebody how I can dump a directory to stdout? As it...

So what is it then? What I see on my box, when I create a symbolic link is an autonomous file (with its own inode) with the length of exactly the source path plus a certain flag. Wow, I didn't know that. Which are these? See, I'm really a rookie on filesystems, that is also new to me. But...

Both of what you (Randman|symphonix) said, is roughly what I also wanted to express. I do agree. Btw, the sentence "iSync, therefore I am" really does appeal to my sense of humor. Quite creative - send it to Apple - they should put that into one of there commercials. ;D Ok, I see, now...

Yes, what 'ln' basically does is to write arg1 into a file called arg2 and flag the latter as a symbolic link. Yet, by reading your post, I stumbled across some odds in MacOSX. I wanted to display the symbolic link as such, but not the file it is linked to. I know I was doing that somehow a...

BSD(i) (plus all its derivates) are not Unix, GNU is not Unix (that makes nearly 200 Linux Distros not Unix along the way), Mac OSX is not Unix, and now -- WOW -- IBM's OS/390, AIX, IRIX, SCO and Solaris are!! What a deal! IBM's OS/390 is out of the race, AIX & IRIX are "staring at open...

They sure do. Yet a lot of domain names are not open to the public. I'am sure "va" (Vatican City) is not, for example. Anyhow: Here is a list of all domain names and the links on where to register.

You're going pretty geek ;) but it would have been more geek choosing "ex.vi", but of course your domain concludes a pretty wide field of topics. Well done! For those of you still looking for something comparable, this might give you a few ideas: tc.sh sam.ba tar.bz cd.rw na.td and...

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/ lists the supported models. I used a Quadra 840AV. You get them very cheap and they can serve with up to 128MB Ram a database. Also the FAQ there will answer lots of your questions plus the mailing list which I would not write to. These guys are long-time...

Yes, sorry. "." (a single dot ) always means the CWD. ".." the directy above. You'll see that in whatever directory you access on your filesystem. There are always these two entries. Of course, it's always better to use absolute pathnames. The first argument to "find" is always the...

You never learn enough about find ;) I just found out that if any spaces come between the brackets {}, the expression is then interpreted as a file name. This time by find and not your shell. Well, alright, that just by the way. Let me know if it works...

You're perfectly right: "--" is not the problem. Instead, you forget to put the brackets in quotes ("{}", no space needed), so depending on the shell you are using, they are interpreted by the shell rather than by find, causing problems: find . -user paul -exec chgrp beatles "{}" \; works...

Also greetings from Germany -> rhg :) I was born in Velbert... and to complete the issue: "query", "type" and "querytype" are synonyms, either from command line or in interactive mode.

"-type=MX" is definetly a proper command line option, btw. See the manual or try it out
