Is There a Move To Command?

In all my years of using Mac OS X I should not have to ask this, but... Is there a "move to" command that can be used to move files from one location to another without dragging and dropping? Preferably one that does not involve Terminal!
Thanks,
Steve M.

No, there isn't. That's one of the areas where the Windows interface has a useful feature that Mac OS X does not. Though the Windows "move to" can become rather cumbersome when you have a lot of folders, which may be why the Mac OS X designers elected not to include it.

Exec a "MV" (move) Linux command from ABAP program using wildcard "*"

Hi,
I have a problem by using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE", SM49 while i try to move the whole content of a SAP folder into another.
Foders are on the same file system:
source: /tmp/
dest:   /usr/sap/tmp
I made a command in SM69 named ZMOVE:
I put OS: Linux (is case sensitive)
        command: "mv"
        parameters: /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp
hence the final sentence should be "mv /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp". I did it directly by using program "rsbdcos0" and works fine.
Now if I try to execute the command ZMOVE from SM49 or using the function module it gives the same error
*mv: cannot stat /tmp/ ': No such file or directory**
I made several tries by changing the parameter section (also using a script on the same directory).
The permissions are ok, so the only problem seems to be the wildcard (*) character.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Fabrizio

Problem solved.
Forget function modules, SM69 etc. there's an ABAP command in order to perform a SO command.
Here an example:
data: lf_file like rlgrap-filename,
      lf_idx(3) type n,
      cmd(254),
      result(255) occurs 100 with header line.
cmd = 'mv /dir_source/* /dir_dest'.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field cmd
                id 'TAB'     field result-sys.

Is there a lock screen command in OS X similar to Screen Lock in Windows?

I want to lock screen for a brief period of time, and didnt want to log out or shut down the system.
Is there a lock screen command for this, so that I can lock it and unlock whenever I need?
Or I am wondering if I can log out without closing the application so that when I log in back, I get to the application and continue working from whereever I left.
I dont want to close the application and be able to lock or logout the user. Please suggest me some ideas.
Thanks,
Gopinath

Open the Security pane of System Preferences and check the box to require the password to wake from sleep or screen saver. In the Desktop & Screen Saver pane, set up the screen saver to activate when the mouse is at a specific corner. The screen saver can be unlocked with the password of the person who is logged in to the machine or with any administrator password.

Is there a movie size limit for iWeb published in MobileMe?

I'm having trouble creating a movie page in iWeb. There's an error when I try to publish it to MobileMe.
Is there a movie size limit? The video is 20 MB.

I don't know what the limit is but iWeb often indicates 10MB or less is preferred. There are alternatives to adding larger movies to a web page that don't require the movie to load until the play button is selected. See this demo page for one method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. A demo page with 7 movie files using this method can see here: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
This second page has the other method. It is a little more involved but works nicely. Again, the move doesn't have to load until the play button is selected. It's the movie here: QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.

Are there fewer movies for rent, pushing purchasing?

Why are there fewer movies for rent via itunes on my AppleTV? Movies that are available for rent thru other services (windows, amazon, etc) are only available for sale in itunes. I don't want to purchase movies, I want to rent them as I previously have done for the past 2 years with my AppleTV. Anyone know what's going on?

I think this is a better question for the iTunes forums (as opposed to the ATV forums) since it's more specifically an iTunes question.

Type "purge" in Terminal and get: -bash: purge: command not found Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks? want to clear memory periodically

I have 10.6.8. When I type "purge" in Terminal I get: -bash: purge: command not found Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks? I have FreeMemory (works well) and considering FreeMemory Pro, to clear memory periodically, say every 20 minutes, or preferably when a threshold is reached, say when only 100MB is available.

To get purge to work you need to install Xcode from Optional Installs on the 10.6 install DVD. Also be sure you install CHUD Tools with it.
But running purge or anything like it is pointless if within a short period of time the VM just grows back again. Sounds like you need more RAM.
Where are the memory leaks? Just because the VM reaches a certain size doesn't necessarily mean it's from a memory leak.

Is there a shortcut key command for 'export'?

Hello all,
I'm just wondering if there is a shortcut command for the 'export' dialogue box?
The only information I seem to be bringing up in searches is 'exporting your shortcuts' to create custom shortcut keys.
Thanks in advance!
Zoe

Yes and No!
You have to create your own using the Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts command to enter your own shortcut.

Is there a DIAdem Script command that can automatically create folders/directories in Windows?

Hi there!
I need to automatically create folders/directories in the Windows file system? Is there a DIAdem Script command to do this (like the way you do it in DOS/Unix or even Matlab (mkdir command)? Thanks!

Hi,
there are two ways to create folders within a DIAdem script:
Call FolderCreate("d:\New Folder")
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Call fso.CreateFolder("d:\New Folder 2")

Bridge CS5 Windows not showing folders with "Move to" command?

Hi, folks.
I have a bunch of files on an external, USB-attached drive. When I right-click on an image in Bridge and select the "Move to" command, Bridge only gives me the option of selecting a folder that's on my Desktop (specifically, only my username folder). It doesn't even give me the option of choosing my root diretory.
Has anyone else experienced this? For what it's worth, I'm noticing the same problem with DNG converter (I can't select any folder that isn't my Desktop).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
-Greg
P.S. I recently cleared my Bridge cache, but the problem began before I did this and is still happening. Win 7 64-bit, 12 gigs of RAM, cache settings in Bridge set to maximum.

Check out this and this thread
Your prob might be related to the same issue. Especially because you mentioned DNG converter.
To solve it reduce your desktop items or upgrade to DNG / ACR 6.3 beta.

Is there an iTunes.exe command-line switch/syntax reference list?

Is there an iTunes.exe command-line switch/syntax reference list?
I would like iTunes to automatically play my music (selectable/programmable) when I click on the iTunes icon.
Thank you in advance, ACJ

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
The switch /control indicates that you can take the control of the session which you have taken. Generally when we take remote desktop session we will already get the control of that session but in some case where some administrator will not give full access
or control of remote session to the user. At that if they know this option they can use to control that remote session.
Use command line parameters with Remote Desktop Connection

Hope it helps!

E71: Is there somthing like ipconfig/command promp...

Is there something like a command prompt on the E71 where I can run something similar to ipconfig? When I goto the address of 192.168.1.1, I normally get the local wifi routers prompting for passwords...... but now theres a new access point appearing and I want to find out what the IP is I'm connecting on without dragging the laptop around.
Which led me to notice I had no clue about any form of command prompt on the phones OS, searching the internet given me developer level info that really is too much.

EXCELLENT! Could you please please post your dialling files for AT&T?? Even better if you could upload a zip of your entire /etc/ppp/peers folder that would be nicer even. I am in desperate need to get the $15 MediaNet tethering on my Fedora 10 laptop working over bluetooth, I used to do it before with T-mobile T-zones with my E61, but since then I switched to my E71 and moved my number to AT&T and my attempts to adapt my scripts to AT&T have not been successful yet however tethering under Windows XP with the Nokia PC suite works though...

In order to purchase apps from the U.S. iTunes Store, you need to 1) Have a valid billing address in the U.S., 2) Have a credit card billed to that address or have iTunes gift cards purchased in the U.S. and 3) be physically located in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
