I'm using Terminal under OS X quite extensively. I find quite annoying (and a bit dangerous, too) that my local and remote sessions look exactly the same in the Terminal. I'm wondering if it's possible - maybe through a bit of bash-programming - to clearly distinguish between local and remote sessions. A different background color would...
I am using the macports in snow leopard. I wanted to install certain perl modules to be able to run a script. The DateTime module to be exact. How do I do this? I tried using the following command. perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan > install DateTime But it still says that DateTime.pm not found. What have I done wrong? Edit: I think I have ...
So as part of a startup script for OS X computer lab systems, I am running a built-in shell command called systemsetup to sync the system with a network time server.

Pretty much all the apps I use on a regular basis implement this 'seemly simple' scenario, yet I can't replicate this in my own Cocoa application. Please consider these steps: The application is not running You drop a file, or a selection of files onto the app's icon. The app runs and performs some actions on the dropped files. Maybe i...
We're trying to get a NSWindow or NSPanel to be always on top on OS X 10.6.x. We've seen many suggestions that setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel should do the trick (some say it must be a NSPanel for it to stay on top). However, we are using 10.6.4. and the window keeps disappearing to the background when the app looses focus. I've seen o...

If I try to test my setup in a TCSH terminal with the following command: java -cp ~/junit-4.8.2.jar org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.junit.tests.AllTests I recei...
I have an application which works with sockets and reads / writes data. It uses Foundation framework combined with CFNetwork and stdio. Here is the issue - when it is launched from console (bash shell) it works 100% fine and there is nothing wrong with. However when it is invoked by another application via NSTask madness begins. The who...
I use Zend Server CE on my Mac running OSX Snow Leopard for my development environment. I need to tune up MySQL and have used mysqltuner.pl in the past on Linux servers to do pre- and post-testing. I downloaded the script and get the following errors when I run it: couldn't find diagnostic data in /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/pods/pe...
This is an eternal question; however the comments I've found about this date of 2008, and I guess have moved since then. So, DarwinPorts or Fink? (or something else?) I see that Fink does not yet have a binary installer for snow leopard... is it a dead project? Regards, David ...
I am writing a mac application that uses the scripting bridge to control iTunes. I have generated the header file iTunes.h, and the SBApplication object can tell me all kinds of wonderful things. However, the commands seem very limited. There is a 'playpause' function, but I see no way to do this // iTunes is my SBApplication Object [i...
I need to compile openssh for leopard (10.5) on 10.6. but openssh has a dynamic link to libcrypto.0.9.8 which is not available on Leopard 10.5. The leopard version is 0.9.7. but somehow I can't link directly to 0.9.7. When I copy the 0.9.7 version to the root of openssh source, It doesn't compile. Currently I'm building with these flags...
Hi I want to write a little script on my Mac. This script will basically look for new files in a particular folder, and move them to another location when some are found. So I was about to write something very basic, with an infinite loop, and I was wondering if something a bit more nice already exist ? Like a Listener or something I ...
I am aware that you can track when the contents of a folder have been modified while your application is not open on OS X with FSEvents, but it is difficult checking the modification date of every file in the directory when the application launches. Is there a way to change FSEvents or is there another mechanism to tell what files have b...
I'm trying to find a lightweight cooperative threading solution to try implementing an actor model. As far as I know, the only solution is setcontext/getcontext, but the functionality is deprecated(?) by Apple. I'm confused by why they did this; however, I'm finding replacement for this. Pthreads are not an option because I need cooper...
Is there a framework similar to MapKit (i.e. that can display maps with overlays) for the desktop. Apple-supported, Google or third party/open-source. I know of OpenStreetMaps, and I want to know what the options are. ...
