OS X Mavericks :: Write A Simple Bash Command?
Sep 12, 2014
I have a mac mini that has some software that is supposed to start at bootup, but does not always do so. In order to get the software running I need to open a terminal window and type some commands. Is it possible to just write a text file and turn it into a .command file that will not require me to write it out every time.
Here is exactly what I have to write in Terminal to get the program running again.
sudo su
filler14
ignition stop
ignition start
exit
Typing sudo su asks for the password which is filler14. After entering it I type ignition stop and it takes a second and it responds that it stopped. I type ignition start and it takes about 3 seconds and responds that it is running. I type exit to get out of sudo su and then exit again and it says operation complete, and then I close terminal.

I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
whenever I try almost any command at Terminal, I come across an annoying message like:
-bash: unzip: command not found
this is a sample for i tried unzip, but it happens for so many other command as well
so what is that? do I need to install anything to make terminal work with these commands?

I do a simple copy and paste, but wanted to know if I can create a customize "Hot Key" on my keyboard that will paste in the word? Lets say the phrase is "Confirmed: ID".

We are running OSX mavericks 10.9.4 which connects a network windows share on login.
I have see the share and navigate through its files fine however, if I try drag a file to the root of the share the green plus does not appear and I am unable to copy it. I am however, able to copy it to a sub folder within the same view.
Permissions are definitely correct and have the same permissions as the sub folders previously mentioned. If I go into a sub folder and back to the root, I am then able to copy the file as intended. It is based in an AD environment so these are all new users viewing the share from the MAC for the very first time.

I was wondering if there is a keyboard short cut to swtich language input of the keyboard than manually clicking to swtich language. I'm an English user, but sometimes use Korean keyboard. i tried to look in keyboard --> shortcuts but don't see that option nor understand how you can manually set up that short cut like in windows.

I write a bunch of command, then I use arrow up/down to scroll through the bash history and very often I find few characters of an old command (highilighted in red above) prepended to the one which is being retrieved from the bash history. Note that this is a display problem only, as the last of the commands above executed correctly.

I used to be able to grab a portion of a web page or a document by pressing command shift 4. That no longer works for me, though command shift 3 does work.I can us the Grab app of course but that's a bit more cumbersome. Am using 10.9.3 on a late 2013 iMac.

When I restart the mac with the command "reboot" of the finder. I have a gray screen and nothing more. If I use the command "Turn off" and I turn on the mac by the start button it works.

I am a mac newbie, but experienced linux and windows user. I am trying to restore my mac mini (mid 2011) running mavericks. The process should normally be very simple; press command-R keys while booting to start recovery mode and go from there.
Unfortunately my keyboard is a palm-sized keyboard without command or windows keys. So I am stuck. I have 2 windows laptops that I can use to remote login but I cannot do remote login during boot.
I tried mapping the Command key to Ctrl key inside OS X, but it seems like this only works after reboot.
I tried to use recovery disk assistant as it requires "Option" key, but the assistant does not allow me select the HD, as I guess I do not have a recovery system on the HD.
I tried doing network install, but it requires the install CD, which I don't have. I have an ipad and two iphones if it

I am aware and have been using the "command+drag" in order to select different texts in different areas; however, I am now unable to do so. When I hold down the command button, and drag over different texts in different places, the highlight instantly disappears. I am only thus, able to highlight one portion of texts at one time.

I am looking for a simple screensaver for my mac. I need something transparent - so I can still see what is going on on my desktop, but have password lock active.
I found transparent 2.2 which does exactly what I want but there is no way I will give 10� for a screensaver.
