I had rvm installed for several months and it has system (1.8.7) and installed (1.9.1) rubies listed. And both versions worked fine.

Does anyone know of a way to query OS X in order to find out how much time is actually left before it enters either system sleep or activates the display sleep (or even disk sleep), either via the command line, or any other method (Ruby or Objective-C for instance)? I thought something like pmset via the command line might have offered ...

If I use import os os.system("pdflatex myfile.tex") from iron python it just works. If I start to Automator and use "Run shell script" switch the shell to python the same command is not executed anymore. Any ideas ? ...
Well, the title says it all. Is it dangerous, insecure or not-so-smart for any other reason to put a custom shell script to /usr/bin and add /usr/bin to $PATH in order to make a custom script executable from everywhere without ./ and the file extension? Bonus question: can I assign custom icons to custom executable scripts? ...
Hi, I have used the jarbundler ant task to create an OSX (10.6.4) XXX.app for my java app. The problem is that it starts fine in any other directory except the /Applications directory. A look at file permissions shows nothing amiss. I can get it to work by two methods - both not suitable for real deployments: Build the .app with Jar...
I have three secrets to store in the Mac OS keychain. Currenly I store each of these in a separate keychain entry. The drawback to this is that if my application is updated the user sees three "allow access" dialogs, one for each entry. What I'd like to do is store all three secrets in one keychain entry. One of these secrets is a us...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to programatically add a folder to Finder's Places sidebar. I've seen ways to modify it through the Finder Preferences, but I've also seen some applications actually add folders to the sidebar. If someone has any advice/pointers on what I should look up, it would be greatly appreciated (This is fo...
I am allocating memory in a C program using malloc. It's possible for my program to allocate more memory than the system has room for, at which point the program crashes. For my purposes it would be better if malloc would just return NULL (like it's apparently supposed to), so I can catch the error. Instead what it does is it throws an e...
