Command-line to change CDE backdrop?

Is there a way I can change the CDE backdrop from the commandline?
Thanks.

Seriously OJ, this does not have anything to do with the original question. Please open a new thread if you have a question, instead of "abusing" another's thread. You can do this by pressing the "Post new topic" button on a forum's main page.
Now, I see that you're new to the forums, so you may not have known about this. So now you do :)
Cheers,

Command Line to change all the users passwords

Hello there,
I run Tiger Server. I want to change the password for 300 students from the command line to 1234 as a password for all the students. Is there any easy way to change all the password at once.
Thanks,

I changed it from WM. No terminal.

Command line to change file type association?

I'm trying to find the correct way to change the association for .PDF files by command line, to add to a deployment script. The client mahcines have Reader X and Acrobat 7. I'm trying to get it so by default, all users on a machine will use Acrobat 7 to open PDF files. I have had no luck editing the registry key under Explorer/Shell, or using the commands FTYPE and ASSOC. Is there another way to get this done?

Hi Brian,
You're looking for a hack because not only are 7 and 8 not supported, they are doubly not supported in conjunction with Reader 10.0. If you had 9.x and later products, you could specify which app was the default PDF handler. There could be a way to do what you want, but you're out in the wilderness on this one.

Setting audio output levels automatically at login (even with command-line)

When I log in, the audio level seems to be at the level set by the last user. Is there a way to get this to automatically set to my preferred level when I log in?
A related question: Is there a command-line method of setting the audio level?
Thanks in advance,

u could use scripting...
sudo osascript -e "set Volume 20"
using that at the command line will change the volume level to 20.
you could put that in a script or something and have it launch at login.

Unable to set 'tap to click' by command line

Use case: I'm trying to write a script to set up new macbooks with a set of dev tools and usability configuration options.
Most configurations are simple enough to change by altering the global application setting e.g. setting the scroll direction with the command:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.swipescrolldirection -bool false
Apparently the following commands were able to enable the tap to click trackpad behavior in previous OSX versions:
defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
defaults write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
However, as of Maverick (and possibly Mountain Lion) these do not work.
I checked the defaults values and changing the scroll setting via the GUI does indeed change the actual variable (com.apple.swipescrolldirection) and changing the variable by command line successfully changes the setting. However, the tap to click variable does not exist in the defaults NSGlobalDomain read out and setting the tap to click via GUI has no effect on any variables in this list. When I create and turn on the com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior variable, oddly the GUI's checkbox is checked for tap to click but the feature remains turned off.
My best guess is that trackpad options have been moved out of NSGlobalDomain and there is still some vestigial code reading for the no longer functional variable that is setting the gui checkbox even though its not enabling the feature.
My question: how can I set tap to click (and other trackpad options) by the command line?
Thanks!

If you do "java -jar ..." on the command line then any "-cp ..." options are ignored. That's because "java -jar ..." assumes you will have set up the classpath in the jar's manifest file like you're supposed to.

How to change "open with" defaults via command line?!?

folks,
i know that if i get info on a file -- in this case, a filemaker 5.5 file -- i can choose the default "open with" settings and apply those settings to all files of that kind. see the attached image for what i mean.
but how do i do that via the command line?
thus far, here's what i've got: i know that i can open a document called "scrubbing shell.sh" on my desktop WITH either MS Word of TextEdit by calling:
open -a textedit /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
or
open -a Microsoft\ Word /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
no sweat. BUT....how do i set the defaults so that it ALWAYS opens with that app in the future when double-clicking via the GUI?
many thanks, ya'll!

Hi David,
   OK, I investigated the new format and treatment. It appears that the first entry in the property list file that matches the file being opened wins. The Finder may still honor the new format; when I moved my old Panther file into Tiger it seemed to work. However, in other ways, the Finder doesn't recognize the old format, which is the format of the FileMaker entries you posted.
   The Finder puts all of the new format entries at the beginning of the property list file. If you change a preference that was controlled by an old format entry, the Finder won't edit that entry. What it will do is to create a new entry in the new format closer to the beginning of the file than any of the old-format entries. SInce the new entry comes first, the old one doesn't apply. If you then edit the preference and change it back to what it was before, the Finder will edit the new entry. Consider the following sequence of events and commands:
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
I change all GIF files to be opened by GraphicConverter instead of Preview, which is an old setting in the old format.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<      <dict>
<         <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<         <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<         <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<         <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
<      </dict>
Then I change all the GIF files to be opened by Preview again.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<       <dict>
<          <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<          <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<          <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
<       </dict>
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
408c408
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
          <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
   Note that I had to change the file to text after every change because the Finder converted the file to binary format every time it edited it. I didn't have to logout or reboot; the property list file change less than a second after the preference was set. I'm guessing that because you were just looking at the old-format entry, you missed the real changes to your property list file. Did it change from text to binary format? Try the command line tools that I used above.
   Note that this means that it matters where you put your entries in the property list file if you edit it.

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

Is it possible to change network adapter priority in windows 7 by command line?

Ik need to change my users network adapters so that the LAN network adaperts have a higher priority than the WLAN adapters.
I would prefer to do it trouhg a command line so that is can distrubute it with SSCM.
Can annybody help me??

I've found the following Blog article for you:
http://win7settings.blogspot.be/2012/04/how-to-set-network-adapter-priorities.html
From the Command Line
Unfortunately there is no out-of-the-box command line interface for these Advanced settings described above. Luckily, there are two ways to set the priorities from the command line. The more difficult way is to set metrics for each network adapter (using netsh). The much easier way (easier to manage too) is to use nvspbind made by Microsoft. If you set the priorities using nvspbind, the effects can also be seen in the Advanced settings in ncpa.cpl. Here is how you use nvspbind:
Go to http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/nvspbind and download nvspbind. Extract the nvspbind.exe and copy it to the target machine and run:
nvspbind.exe /++ "Wireless Network Connection" ms_tcpip
nvspbind.exe /++ "Wireless Network Connection" ms_tcpip6
nvspbind.exe /++ "Local Area Connection" ms_tcpip
nvspbind.exe /++ "Local Area Connection" ms_tcpip6
And that's it! You're done.
This will set the priorities (IPv4 and IPv6) to:
1. LAN
2. WLAN
3. WAN (if present)

How do I change screen resolution in command line?

Hi, I was controlling a remote server by Apple Remote Desktop and have lost control of it after changing the resolution. Is there a way to change the resolution in the command line, without restarting?
If I can screen resolution in the command line I can send the unix command to the remote server and hopefully fix my problem.

Hi, I'm not aware of a way to do it without a little work. For example, I found some code at Mac OS X Hints that will change the screen resolution from a command line, but you'd have to compile it. It compiled for me on 10.4.11, and the poster there said it compiles on 10.5 for him.
If you have the Xcode tools installed on your Mac, just copy that code into a plain text file, then save it as "main.c". Then, in Terminal, change directory to the same directory as that file and compile it:
<pre class="command">gcc -o newscreen main.c -framework ApplicationServices</pre>
Then copy it to your server and try running it there:
<pre class="command">./newscreen -h nnnn -v nnnn</pre>
where "nnnn" is the desired resolution...
I hope that works, anyway, since I'm still using Tiger...

Changing the override file via command line arguments

Is there a way to change name of the file Coherence uses to override coherence-config.xml via a command line argument? I'd like to specify different override filenames in different environments.

I get the message that:
2006-02-13 16:53:27.699 Tangosol Coherence 3.0.1/317 <D5> (thread=main, member=n/a): Optional configuration file "/home/noah/tools/tangosol-config/tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml" is not specified
I specified the following as the startup:
java -Dtangosol.coherence.override=/home/noah/tools/tangosol-config/tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml -Dtangosol.coherence.log.level=5 -classpath /home/ncohen/tools/tangosol-config:/home/noah/tools/tangosol/lib/coherence.jar com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory
Where the tangosol-config directory contains my override file tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml
If I change the name of the override file solely in the cmd prompt, it doesn't find any of them. It just gives me the optional configuration file ..... is not specified. How does one go about fixing this? Thx.

What silent install command line option will Adobe change to next?

I just discovered that Adobe has, yet again, changed the command line syntax for doing a silent install of the flash player. Apparently it's now just "-install" to do a silent install. Which makes me wonder, what will they call it next version?
I have a few theories...
install_flash_player_11.exe -fuggedaboudit
install_flash_player_11.exe -BeVewwyBewwyQwiet
install_flash_player_11.exe /@?-[BR-549]
