    launchd doesn't restart tunnel properly

    Hey all, My home computer is behind a brick wall so I need to reverse tunnel from it to my computer at work in order to have access from there. I load the plist into launchd with the "-S aqua" option to take advantage of ssh-agent running by default in Leopard, this allows me to use an...

    Leopard (10.5) Finder not responding

    I found out which files the Finder had loaded before its trip to the beach — turns out it was loading DivX codecs from /Library/QuickTime and also some other stuff from /Application\ Support/DivXNetworks/ I moved these files out of these locations using terminal (probably will have to sudo)...

    reverting from OS X server -> client

    Well I got sick of waiting, and for anybody who is interested it is entirely possible to remove everything from the mpkg manually (as root for your own sanity) without screwing over the system. This not something, however, I would ever recommend doing if you can avoid it.

    reverting from OS X server -> client

    Here's an interesting one: Is there any clean way to revert back to the client system onto which I added the additional applications/files from the included installer? I've considered using pacifist to find and kill what files it installed, but at the same time I get an uneasy feeling in my...

    Starting Terminal from CLI

    You are correct that would only open the first window, but the subsequent commands I gave you will open a new window for each time you run them. If you run do script "" as is, with nothing between the quotes, it will simply spawn a new window (ugly, yes.) Hopefully the helps, graham

    Severe security hole...

    Mac OS has always been confused with its filetypes/suffixes/creator codes/etc so it is not really surprising that a disguised shell script will be opened with minimal effort. Hopefully apple will come out with a patch soon, although the problem lies more with directory services (although i...

    Starting Terminal from CLI

    Jas, You can open terminal by running the command (not surprisingly): open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/MacOS/Terminal Your best bet: an apple script that contains the lines tell application "Terminal" do script "command" end tell where "command" is something...

    Unable to ssh from mac-to-mac

    So I chnaged my network settings to use the DNS servers of my ISP rather than just relying on the (unholy) linksys router... this knocked things back to the way they were before. If anybody has recommendations on a better router please let me know.

    Unable to ssh from mac-to-mac

    I've been having similar problems... ssh ceased functioning properly very suddlenly (this happened to correspond loosely with changing to a linksys wrt54g v5 router, which is a POS just for the sake of noting so.) My room mate is able to use putty to ssh to the same machine with no problems, so...

    launchd scheduled launch of cocoa app

    I loaded the plist file into the launchctl daemon started by my user, not the instance running as root. I'm guessing the problem has something to do with whether the task is hidden/backgrounded. Thanks for your suggestions though, I will probably end up using cron, but wanted to give launchd...

    launchd scheduled launch of cocoa app

    I've been trying to get launchd to automatically launch and kill my bitTorrent Client, with no results. I have tried calling both shell scripts and the application itself from within a plist I know was successfully loaded with launchctl. Here is the current plist, which calls the client...

    Safari Debug Menu...

    Hey all, I have an interesting remnant from a previous safari it would seem... what I'm talking about is the debug menu... now with some interesting options... namely "Use Transparent Window" which removes the drop shadow and makes the window transparent for an instant when pages are loading...

    10.3.8 Keyboard issues...

    Afternoon, Something that has been bothering me lately, is that my system (2x2GHz g5) will spontaneously stop accepting alphanumeric input from my keyboard. Modifier key combinations still works (command tab for example) but actually trying to input into text boxes fails miserable. The problem...

    Batch renaming id3 tags...

    Well, I suppose you are right, I just have to suck it up and edit the ID3 tags msyelf.... I can only wish that there was some easier way :p thanks for the help though, graham

    Batch renaming id3 tags...

    basically I would like to organize the ID3 tags in the same manner that I ordered the filenames. To put some reasoning behind the madness, the official Bach catalogue includes BWV 1-1120 or so, 1-524 being vocal works, 525-771 being ogan works and so on. Since these songs are all from different...

    Batch renaming id3 tags...

    My obsessive friend just AIMed me about 500 Bach songs, in addition to the few hundred I already had. Being a classical music freak myself I'm attempting to organize the music by the proper cataloguing scheme. Basically this just entails reformatting a ton of ID3 tags, something for which I...

    File recovery woes, Norton UnErase quirks, the universe, and everything

    Greetings, Having two keyboard and two monitors next to eachother (for separate computers) I foolishly deleted my entire documents folder on the more important computer. Tried using data rescue X, which proved useless... however norton UnErase worked wonderfully in finding the important...

    iPod Update Petition

    Can't you play snake on your cell phone or something? — signing a petition because you are irritated at the lack of new gaming options on a device meant specifically to play music is kind of silly, in my own humble opinion. As diablojota put it... when you bought the iPod then, you were...

    upgrading (gigabit) g4's graphics card

    Since i configured the system with the radeon, it came with an ADC connector already — I just wasn't sure whether the card was capable of driving the newer models. I called apple and they thankfully said the same thing, thanks for the help, graham
