[MAC] aerender via terminal over ssh root

Hey,
I am attempting to start a render on a mac over ssh via the terminal.  On my test mac I can only get the command to work if I run it as root, however I will be needing to do this on an OSX Xserv cluster where I will not have root access.  Here are the errors I get.
On my test Mac, not root:
"_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
aerender ERROR -609: AESend failed to send apple event at line 712"
On the cluster, not root:
"kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of session allowed for root and console user only
INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the WindowServer.Abort trap"
Is there anyway for me to start a render remotely, without being logged in as root?
Thanks,

I don't think so. What you are trying to do is basically to break out of the security sandbox of your SSH connection which by all means is fundmanetally evil. What you would have to do is decouple the process from your connection by sending it to the background. Back then in my SGI days we used the background alias all the time to do this, but I think the native way merely attaches a parameter by calling the PID. From what a quick search turned up, on OSX this seems to be the ampersand (&). Short of that, the convenient way is naturally doing it in a remote desktop or via a virtualisation software....

  • Is there any way to enable SSH via Terminal in the OSX Installer utility list?

    Hi guys, I've messed up my install a little on my internal HDD.. I can't boot into OSX as I keep getting kernel panics on boot. I was just wondering if there's any way I can SSH into my Mac Pro via the Terminal on the OSX Installer Utilities list.. I have a Macbook Pro to SSH from but I need a way to enable SSH via that Terminal "-bash-3.2#"..
    I've tried to use the systemsetup -setremotelogin on command but I know SSH requires login keys and as I have no idea what can be used as those keys for the OSX Installer version of Terminal I have no idea how I can enable SSH..
    Tried some sudo commands but as I guess it runs at a completely different level to sudo it won't actually recognise the sudo command..
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, if you need me to post any info or results to help then just let me know.
    Thanks alot

    If your Mac cannot boot to the OS X installation then you will not be able to set up the SSH (Remote Login) sharing service. The OS X installer does not support any of the system's sharing services. Technically it does have the sshd daemon (server process) that you can set up to accept a connection; however, this will not give you any additional benefit.
    The only reason to SSH into the system would be to get to the Terminal command prompt anyway, which is available when you boot to the Recovery HD partition and choose Terminal from the Utilities menu. If you were to set up SSH and log in, you would still only have the functionality provided by the Terminal in the Utilities menu, and not have access to your Mac's full OS installation.

  • How to check folder sizes of the root directory on my VPS/Dedicated server via Terminal?

    Hi,
    I have following issue.
    I have a VPS with Linux OS and I'd like to check size of the folders as well as remaining space on my server.
    How can I do that via Terminal?
    I would appreciate any input.

    login into your VPS server via terminal and cd into the root of your hosted space.  Then use the df -h command to see the listing
    for i.e.
    df -h /volumes/volume_1
    Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on
    //john@ds00/volume_1  457Gi   12Gi  445Gi     3%       0 18446744073709551615    0%   /Volumes/volume_1
    for you it would be something like:
    df -h [email protected]/share (ip address)

    I eventually figured it out from here:
    http://superuser.com/questions/417397/h … -via-socks
    It turns out my Firefox settings were wrong, only SOCKS Proxy needed to be filled in.
    For future reference, you can test your SSH tunnel by using:
    curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:8080 http://blah
    curl --proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 http://blah

  • Installing Plugins via Terminal (Mac)

    I would like to be able to install plugins in Extension Manager via terminal and enable the installed plugins for a specific set of extensions (InCopy).  I have downloaded the Adobe Extension Manager Help and Tutorials document and it explains the process of installing plugins via terminal.  But when I run the install command, it actually launches Extension Manager in the console.
    I want to be able to install extensions and plugins silently and even when the user is not logged in.  Is this possible and can someone point me to a document which explains the process?

    For your coworker's issue, besides database file and plugin files, you also have to include files in EM Store folder and Mxi Flag folder.
    If your extension is per-machine extension (all files in extension will be installed to per-machine location), you have to include "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db", "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*"
    If your extension is per-user extension (all files in extension will be installed to folder under user home), you have to include "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExManUser.db", "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*".
    You also have to ensure all the machines have the same user name.

  • ADT hangs over ssh

    I am putting the finishing touches on our build system and have run into a show stopper bug in ADT.  It seems that ADT will not function propertly over ssh.  When I issue my ADT package command remotely on my Mac OS X machine via ssh, ADT simply hangs forever.
    The following are the errors I see on the Mac System Log:
    com.apple.SecurityServer: Session 24524 created
    naip: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
    naip: _RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
    And then nothing happens.  Forever.
    Looking on the remote system, I see that the ADT process has created 2 files and a directory in the output directory:
    drwxr-xr-x  2 build  staff     68 Jun  8 13:10 adt3612439737122910737.tmp
    -rw-r--r--  1 build  staff  11553 Jun  8 13:10 air6133709946041732094.tmp
    -rw-r--r--  1 build  staff  11553 Jun  8 13:10 air8135951800351503639.tmp
    However, nothing else happens.  The directory adt3612439737122910737.tmp is empty.
    The ADT package command I am running is:
    adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../build/input/air/cert.p12 -storepass mypassword -tsa none -target bundle ../build/output/tmp/StoicAssetCompiler.mac.app ../build/output/tmp/EngineCompiler-app.xml -C ../build/output/app app.engine.compiler.swf
    The command works perfectly when I execute it from a terminal session as the build user.  However, any ssh session causes the adt program to hang forever.
    Short version:  How do I invoke ADT over ssh on Mac OS X?

    Additional point of information:
    There are 2 users involved here:
    john
    build
    john is logged into a desktop session. john can run ADT from a terminal, or even from a terminal ssh-d back to localhost as john.
    build can run ADT from a terminal su'd to build.  build cannot run ADT in any ssh session, including one ssh'd from the su'd terminal that works otherwise.

  • Can't print from Mac to DeskJet D1530 over Linksys print server

    The print job and printer both hang when trying to print to the DeskJet D1530.
    I am using the drivers downloaded directly from HP and specifically for Snow Leopard.
    When connected directly via USB, the printer installs itself and prints reliably.
    However, this is a shared printer. The Mac has a wireless-G connection to a Linksys router, the router is connected to a Linksys print server via Ethernet. Then the printer is connected via USB to the print server.
    I have 2 Windows laptops that print reliably via this configuration.
    With the Mac, I configured it to use LPR over the IP address of the print server. It seems to connect to the print server and appears to be communicating with the printer. It even reports the ink levels in the cartridges. But when a print job is sent to the printer, the print status reports "Sending data file (0 bytes)" and the job just hangs unless a "cancel -a" is sent via terminal. It also prevents any other system from printing unless the printer and the print server are power cycled. I have occasionally coaxed a job out of the printer after the print server is power-cycled, however from the Mac's printer status, the job never completes and any subsequent print jobs will hang. I have to reboot the Mac to completely clear the print queue.
    I have look online for instructions on configuring the printer, but all of them so far have yielded the same result.
    This is not exactly an exotic setup, and it works with Windows systems. What am I doing wrong?

    It usually comes as a surprise to Windows users that there are two kinds of print drivers on OS X. The older type are called monolithic drivers because they have everything in one package - postscript interpreter and communication device (USB) driver. With this type, the manufacturer gets to include exactly the components needed for the printer. The driver you got from HP is this type, and it is limited to USB Only.
    To do network printing to a USB printer, you need a driver that allows more than just USB direct connection. You need a CUPS driver. One CUPS driver is Gutenprint, included in OS X by Apple. It may not include your model yet.
    Get updated Gutenprint or hpijs drivers from:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx
    or a commercial CUPS driver, printfab from:

  • Ctrl+Shift+Option+5 registers as Option+5 in custom emacs build or over ssh

    I'm having trouble with custom emacs and emacs over ssh with Leopard. Included below is the text of the bug report I filed with Apple. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear about them.
    It won't let me change the OS on this post for some reason, but I'm running Leopard, not Tiger.
    In Terminal.app Version 2.0 (237) when I ssh into my Gentoo Linux server and run emacs, or if I run a custom-compiled version of emacs in terminal mode locally, pressing CtrlShift+Option5 (which should bring up "Query replace regexp:" in the bottom input bar) registers as if only Option+5 was pressed.
    NOTE: I am using the new aluminum USB-2.0 apple keyboard connected to a MacBook Pro running Leopard 9A581. I have not tested any other hardware configurations.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Download http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz
    2. Untar the above
    3. cd emacs/mac && ./make-package --self-contained
    4. Copy or move Emacs.app to /Applications
    5. From Terminal.app run "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -nw"
    6. Press CtrlShift+Option5
    OR
    1. SSH into a linux server and run emacs.
    2. Press CtrlShift+Option5
    Expected Results:
    "Query replace regexp:" should appear in the input line at the bottom of the screen.
    Actual Results:
    "ESC 5-" shows up. The escape key is an alternate meta-key, so this indicates that the program believes Meta+5 was pushed, where the actual meta-key that I'm using is Option.
    I never noticed this problem in any version of Tiger, but it occurs in Leopard.

    Perhaps, you should try to reset your preference file to see if it corrects itself.  I have posted the instructions at this link:

  • Hardlinking via Finder or SSH

    Hi,
    I am running a mac mini as a file server connected to a drobo to store all my files in a central place. The issue that I am having is that I would like to use hard links instead of aliases, is there a way to do this from a remote machine or the machine itself in Finder?
    As another way to do it i tried logging into the mac mini using terminal and creating the hard linked files manually, When I remotely issue the command that works perfectly in a local terminal window it tells me that the operation is unsupported. How can this be? I would have assumed that once connected it should be the same as being on the machine itself.
    Any help please?
    Regards
    D

    As long as the hardlinks are between directories both residing on the same device, you can do this via ssh.
    ssh remote.system.addr 'cd /somewhere/useful;ln /otherdir/file hardlink.file'
    However, if this is for backup purposes, then you should know that Time Machine effectively does this when it does its hourly backups. It uses hardlinks to avoid having multiple copies of the same file.
    The "rsync -E --compare-dest=reference.directory.tree" command can be used to create incremental backups where files that are the same as what is currently in the reference directory tree are hardlinked to the new directory tree instead of creating a new copy.
    There is an open source perl script (rsnapshot) that will manage backups that use rsync --compare-dest and provides hourly, daily, weekly, monthly backups and manages the incremental backups. rsnapshot via ssh can be used to reach out from your Mac mini and backup multiple systems in your home, and if you configure things correctly you can backup systems across the internet. rsnapshot will require some hands on setup for a Mac environment, but if you want to get your hands dirty, it might be what you are looking for.

    If this is the case, why not use a tool that was designed specifically for this purpose?  You could set up vnc and then forward the ports to run over ssh.  But I have been playing with x2go, which is a open-source NoMachine alternative.  It is super easy to set up and runs over ssh.  What is really cool is that it actually runs far better than plain ol' vnc with a super responsive desktop.
    I don't really have much practical use for it, but after playing with vnc a bit and seeing the shitty performance that it can sometimes have, I heard about NoMachine and decided to give it a whirl.  I think the best part is that because it runs over ssh, it is as secure as your sshd setup is.  So if you want to open it up to face the greater internet, as long as you feel confident in doing that with ssh, there is no additional ports you need to open up or anything.

  • Issue with permissions when using SFTP (FTP over SSH)

    I have an issue when i use SFTP, for some reason users are able to browse the system's root directory and other user's directories. Also some users don't have access to the FTPRoot alias and some do. If i connect using FTP everything is fine. Can someone shed some light on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Toros

    There is absolutely no correlation between FTP and SFTP.
    SFTP is actually a file transfer run over SSH and therefore subject to the normal account/shell restrictions, just as if the user logged in via SSH.
    What you're confusing it with (easily done) is FTPS, which is SSL-encrypted FTP. This uses SSL/TLS to secure a FTP connection and is subject to the account restrictions defined in the FTP server, independent of the user's shell access.
    So, in other words, SFTP uses a SSH session to transfer files. FTPS uses SSL to secure a FTP session.
    There's no trivial way to prevent a SFTP user from walking through the directory tree since there's no difference between their SFTP session and an SSH session.

  • Remote login via terminal

    can someone tell me how i use Terminal to login into my Server (Running OS X Server 10.4.3) at home? i need to know what command to use and also, once logged in via terminal whatever commands i enter will be controlling the server and not the local machine, right? sorry for the basic question but whatcha gonna do? please help....
    john.

    I've never user /accessed OS X server, but Mac to Mac access (I believe) should be the same.
    Ensure that 'Remote Login - SSH' is enables on your Mac's firewall..... then in Terminal type;
    ssh username@servername (or IP address). this will prompt for a passord... which will be the remote username's password on the OS X server machine.
    Once you are on the remote server any commands you enter in that shell (the command prompt in Terminal) will be run on that server. Toexit from the remote machine just type 'exit'
    What are you trying to run on the remote machine... I may be able to assist

  • Dock icons disappeared after the Dock app killed via terminal

    Hello, I'm running the new OS X Mavericks on a late 09' Mac Mini, my problem started when I had finished updating Grageband.
    When the update was over, from some reason the Grageband icon became invisible, so i tried using the "killall Dock" commend via terminal to restart the dock.
    And it took considerably longer then usual, and when it came back up, most of the icons became invisible too,  well, as I'm pretty sure it's a one time bug and it will be resolved when I'll restart the machine I'll relog to my user, is that happened to anyone else? and is there anything I can do to prevent this problem in the future?
    Thank you in advance. Omer.

    I just did a clean install on my 2011 MM and am having the same issue. Whats the terminal kill for the dock?
    Ive added a screen shot. Can't drag and drop the trash can....:-/
    Looked up the cmd and now I have a properly working dock. Didnt have to drag any apps out either
    "killall Dock"

    It appears as if my startup disk has been reversed and not using the fusion ssd portion as it should.  At least its now reversed as to what it used to be originally before.  the 128gb ssd used to be on top.  Is my mac booting fusion correctly?  Thank you for responding as I was about to reformat.

  • Java Caps 5.1.3. and SFTP (FTP over SSH)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the BatchSFTP option from the batch eway to setup FTP over SSH. I'm having trouble in setting up the keyfile. I've generated a trusted_hosts file using openSSH via CYGWIN (I'm running on W2003 server). The error I get is: Batch SFTP eWay connection failed, method=[connect()], message=[Exception when connect(), e=java.io.IOException: Invalid SSH1 public key format].
    Has anyone experience with FTP over SSH and can help me out on this.
    Thank you very much,
    Cor Zijlstra

    You need to convert the server public key for the server that you are connecting with to the IETF SECSH format. If you have access to do that, you can run the command ssh-keygen -f myServerPublickey.pub -e > myIETFServerPublicKey.pub. Otherwise, your UNIX server admin will need to run that. Put the ITEF key in your .ssh directory and have CAPS reference that IETF format and you should be set. Make sure the connectivity map/env explorer is set to public key authentication.
    I think there is a bug in CAPS with how it is handling the SSH formated key. I have been unable to prove it to support. Furthermore, more pressing issues have taken up my time (aka, other projects).
