A Java install occurred recently while I was using Safari. After the install completed, I noticed that the installation instructions specified all browsers be closed before installation took place. Can I "reinstall" this software from the command line with the browser closed?

Given the disaster with Lion 10.7.3 and how it writes passwords in plaintext to secure.log I have migrated to FileVault 2. Now I want to securely delete the secure.log file. With the finder I can delete a file and empty the trash securely. But is there a way to remove files securely from the command line?

It's barely half way through and it says "148 Hours Left" which is crazy.. Should I just wait? is this normal? what do I do?

Trying to install a .pkg from the command line in single user mode. I'm using the command "installer -pkg Installer.pkg -target / The .pkg is on a mounted USB drive. / is also mounted. When I run the command, the screen scrolls to a new blank line and stays there but nothing happens. The light on my USB indicates no data transfer is happening. I get no output, even if I add -verbose to the command.

I'm running an Intego X6 full scan right now, but something is amiss:
1. Activity Monitor shows 19 packets in/sec, 22 packets out/sec, currently at 26024 packets in and 24996 out since rebooting maybe 10 minutes ago)
2. iStat shows 4k in/out per sec
3. My router's activity light incessantly blinks
4. My router won't light up at the initial login, so the issue only happens with my current user account
When disabling all internet activity through Intego's firewall, my router also stops. Amusingly, Activity Monitor continues to show packets being sent and received. (I didn't see anything in Activity Monitor that would show me which process(es) are using the network as well...)
I can't seem to find any PID or process names out of the ordinary, but usually there should be no activity when there's no activity.
I do keep OS X updated as often as possible, but that doesn't mean something wicked this way comes...
Are there apps I can use that will tell me what process is sending these mystery packets?
A good friend who has used Macs professionally for years has asked me to send him a big stack of HTML documents and my instinct is to put them into a tarball, b2zip it, and send him that. I asked whether he could handle it and he told me to send each document separately, uncompressed. I use Linux, so I know you folks have an excellent OS that is BSD-based and can handle lots of bash commands I use. Accordingly I want to tell my friend how to do it all in one easy step from the CLI. He has no idea what I'm talking about, does not know how to get to the CLI, and did not even know Macs have them until I mentioned it to him.
So could you kindly provide my friend with a no-assumptions, comprehensive, clear list of beginner's instructions that will tell him exactly what to do to? He needs to:
1. Get into the CLI
2. Locate the tarball he downloaded from Gmail
3. Unzip it and open it
4. Get out of the CLI and back into the GUI.
I would deal with the tarball this way: $ tar xjvf ./texts.tar.bz2. Could he use that command? I don't have any idea how to leave the graphic world on a Mac. My view is that fulfilling his request will be difficult and a lot of work for him as well if I don't use a tarball, and he needs to learn something about the OS he's using. I'll be interested to see how Mac users do it, as well. Yes, I expect the job can be done in the GUI on a Mac, but as I say, I would like to expand his universe (and mine) just a bit. Dragging him out of the GUI won't hurt him, and the learning experience could give him a bit more respect for the power and flexibility of the OS he uses daily.
I've just managed to run isightcapture to capture webcam pictures via command line and now I'd like to capture the video/audio stream.

I've just installed the BRL-CAD application and it need a command line input (/usr/brlcad/bin) to the System - see below. I am not that familiar with the commands although no problem getting into the Terminal. I just don't want to screw this up. I am running a Mac Mini, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, OS 10.6.5. I need some step-by-step info in getting this embedded and the application up and running.
Setting Up the Path:
Once installed, you will need to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your system
PATH. For Bourne shell users, you can run the following:
PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
For C shell users, this should do the same thing:
set path=( /usr/brlcad/bin $path ) ; rehash
I have an shell script that I launch from the command line. Is there an easy way to run this script using its own Icon in the applications folder.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis has got to be an easy one for the command line experts. Could someone please tell me how to run the chown utility, so as to change permissions of a folder to read & write for the "currently logged in user"? I guess I am looking for a variable for the username, since I will be running this command as part of a shell script. I do not wish to specify a username, which would make it possible for me to run the script on any computer for any logged in user.

"Apple Superdrive Firmware Update 2.1". Heres my problem: I cant boot into Tiger. I get stuck at the login screen. So I want to know if there is a way to do a firmware update in "Single user mode".
