I find my self using screen a for things such as rsync and synergy but I struggle to find a way to programmatically create a screen and execute a command in it. From the documentation I see that you can use the '-X' flag to tell a session to execute a command, but I haven't been able to work...

I find my self spending quite a bit of time in the terminal, and the work I do has me constantly taking some bits of information from the terminal and pasting them into other applications. I'm looking for a nice way to get text from the terminal to the clipboard. Something like: "pwd >...

So I've been thinking about getting one of those new sexy Mac Pros with the Dual Quad-Core Xenons. But I find my self asking if I really need it. I'm curious just how the multiple cores will be used. Does a program have to specifically be able to take advantage of all 8 cores? Or are some...

I realize that nearly every topic here starts with the same words, but the subject does say it all. I finally got a new laptop and as can be expected i'm interested in all the things intel has to offer. I've obtained VMware Fusion and been using windows XP and SUSE VM's on that. I'd like to...

OOOooook. I think I've got a good one for you guys. First, the laptop. It's a G4 Powerbook (Aluminum?) with 1.63ghz and 1gb ram. I'm running the latest OS X (10.4.?) is the number i think. I just recently got a new battery for it cause the old one wasn't lasting longer then an hour. I used...

I've been browsing for a while but i'm still a little confused. Basically i'm trying to find out if i can run unix applications on aqua, such as gimp and gedit. I'd also like to know if i could use a winodws manager such as fluxbox on X11 and run both unix applications, as well as run my OS X...

I know what the subject says, but i'm pretty sure this is a *nix question. Basically, i installed the latest release of python because i need to use its sorted() function. From the command line when i type python scriptname.py it uses the older version of python. I order to use the newer one i...

Ok, so i have a windows box, a powerbook, and a linux server running in my room. I have some spacific ports forwarded to the linux server's ip. My problem is, the server's ip keeps switching from *.*.*.3 to *.*.*.4 So i have to keep changing my port forwarding addresses. Is there any way to make...

Recently, for what seems like no particular reason, the screen on my 14" G4 Laptop running 10.4.4 started blinking. Blinking being, going completely black, then back to the way it was in under .25 seconds. Now, my first thought was a hardware problem. After investigating, i found the rate at...

Like any good computer nut, i have a few systems. Basically the systems i use every day are my Mac Laptop, and my Windows XP Desktop. Almost 4 or 5 times a day, probably more, i acces or move files from one system to the other. Currently, the way i do it is to just access a shared folder on one...

There is something definatly satanic happening inside my mac. Basically, almost any program i run, crashes. And some when they crash, cause the screen to turn blue, display the grey spining circle, and do, what appears to be, a log out, and log back in, with all my previous programs closed. I'd...

I've isntalled 2 linux programs for use on my X11 session. The problem i'm having is that, i installed them using terminal, and when i used the terminal within X11, the application wasn't there. For example, i installed blackbox, then entered the command "blackbox" to run it, but i said it...

I've just recently realize i can run *nix applications through X11, so i decided to install blackbox, a gui i've used before. However, i'm rusty with linux commands. I recalled the commands to install source are, ./configure, make, make install. The problem i'm having, is ./configure doesn't...

I am currently in college, and taking cs261 - Abstract Data Structures. Each week we have a program due. Our teacher has given us a "jds" file with classes that our programs will need to include. He said to add a CLASSPATH variable with your unix machine so the java compiler knows where those...

tell application "Finder" mount volume "smb://USER@MYSERVER" end tell That is what i'm currently using, how ever the problem that exists is that when that script is run, the SMB/CIFS Filesystem Authentication window appears. My question is, what would i add to my script to "press" ok...

I have two computers, a Windows XP desktop and my G4 power book. I used to have a program that would sync to folders (my iTunes music mainly) over the network. I've now lost that program. So I'm looking for something that will suit my needs on that issue as well as able to move files from one...

I'm thinking of picking up PHP in my spare time. I'm not new to programming, i have a background in java and C. Basically I'm just curious on what kind of things PHP does best. And I would like to know if it is mainly just a Web language or if you can make stand alone and local scripts.
