Jun 19, 2012I have set up an alias I frequently use when working on the command line and I'd like to change it now but I can't find the file where I set it up. I googled a bit and found some people saying it must be in either .bash_profile or ~/.bashrc but I don't have either of those files in my home directory. So basically how do I go about finding out where I have initially set up this alias so that I can modify it?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Terminal Command To Give Admin User Privileges In Finder?
Jun 29, 2012Someone gave me a terminal command that allowed my OS X Admin user permission to make an application alias without having to enter my user password. I've since forgotten the command and wish to use it for a new admin user since my old admin has gremlins on a number of apps but new users are not troubled in same way. I can't beleive Apple would default to requiring a password to make/edit an alias but there you go the distrurbing trend towards their total control of my desktop advances… not to mention User SysPrefs leaking over from another user for keyboard shortcuts and sounds?

Jun 23, 2010I can't find a third party app to create a MD5 checksum of folders and subfolders. The closest I got was checksum+, but the programs doesn't handle large folders; it freezes.
So I would like to go into Terminal and do it manually. Can someone share the command line to create:
�a MD5 checksum of a folder and its subfolders and output it to a txt file.
�a way then to use that outputted text file for file verification. My initial thinking is that I would have to create another MD5 checksum of the copied folder and then use a difference type command to compare the text files?

Dec 8, 2009I'd like to create the look that something is happening in Terminal without actually doing anything. Sort of like how the Apple ]['s ROM checksum was used for the first-person view in The Terminator.
I'd prefer something that was just providing output, like a checksum, NOT moving or editing files or directories.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: How To Hide Files That Are Located Besides User/Username... In Terminal
Jul 13, 2009I've been wondering, if there is a way to hide files that are not located in "User/Username/...." in Terminal?
The command I use to hide the files for example is: chflag hidden ~/Desktop/*
However, if I the file/folder I want to hide is not in 'User/Username..." I will not be able to hide it... So how do you change it so that you can hide the folders that are not located in "User/Username"?
Also, I've ran into a problem!
My "Username" that one that has an house icon is missing when I access it from Machintosh HD --> Users Folder.
I guessed that it was hidden somehow but not too long ago it was in the User folder... So I typed in "defaults write com.apple.finder ShowAllFiles True" and I found a bunch of weird files on my Desktop and my Machintosh HD... and I found the Username house icon... I do not know what I did in terminal that hid it.
MacBook Pro :: SUDO Command - How To Remove A User Using Terminal
Mar 30, 2012So I just inherited from my coworker's MacBook Pro. I then decided to transfer all of my files and realized that the root folder was still on his name. I changed the User's name in "System Preferences" but that did not change the root folder's name. I then went to Terminal and tried to change the folder's name using the "mv OldFoldersName NewFoldersName"Â and the prompt said Permission denied. I then used "sudo mv OldFoldersName NewFoldersName". After restarting my computer, all the files were gone and I landed on a "LION first time USE" type of Desktop. All my files are gone and terminal shows me two users' names under /Users/ => OldUser and NewUser.
What can I do to recover my old files? What can I do to repair my Mistake and only have one User?

Applications :: Unable To Use Terminal / Terminal Stucks At Blank Login Window
Oct 20, 2009Anybody see this before? I opened up Terminal.app and the window is completely blank. There is nothing in it whatsoever. Looks as if bash never started. The title bar simply says "Terminal — login — 80x24". I can type whatever I want in the Terminal window like it's a text document and nothing happens. If I restart the computer, this seems to fix the problem, but it seems to only be a temporary fix as the issue happens again soon after.

OS X Server :: Processes Started In Terminal End When Terminal Closed?
Jan 29, 2008I'm running Symantec Backup Agent on our mac osx server. I start the agent in the terminal (./agent.be). It returns a notification that it started the service, however, it doesn't return to the prompt. Closing the terminal gives a warning that the process will be closed if the terminal is closed. Closing it does kill the process. Ctrl+c to return to the prompt also kills the process. So it's as if once the process is started in the terminal, nothing can be altered.
I am not much of a mac guy so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Anyone have any advice on how to handle this so the process is ALWAYS running?

OS X :: Unable To Install Terminal App - Run Terminal As Admin?
Aug 19, 2010I'm on a standard user account and I would really like to install icalbuddy which is a terminal app. When I install apps normally I simply have to provide a admin name and pw, but this doesn't work when it is a terminal app because it requires that the 'su' command be run.
So I thought that I could run terminal as admin through 'su - admin' and then install. But of course the admin account doesn't have access to the user folder where the installer is located. I just can't win.
