Os 10.7.5, terminal use

A l o h a ! To some helpful spirit out there in cyberspace ~
The mailbox function confuses me. It asks for the IMAP, STMP, POP, and other coded numbers I do not know.
Is ther a place to go where I could bone up on these critically important features?

How do I start firefox from the terminal, using a specific proxy configuration, without creating a whole new profile?

When I use Firefox at work I must use a proxy, however when at home I want to connect with no proxy. I'd like to have two launchers for Firefox, one for work and one for home. To do this I need to configure Firefox from the terminal.
After searching on the internet the only solution I could find was to launch Firefox with two different profiles, one for work using the proxy, and another for home. However if I do this, my bookmarks and saved passwords will not the same for both profiles.

Right click on the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'. There enter the details so start the program directly not via a script. This did the trick for me for another program.

Rename files in Terminal using mv and sed

I want to rename multiple files (in one directory) using mv and sed in Terminal (Mac OS 10.6.8).
I want to change each and every file name from IMG_nnnn.jpg to HVAC_nnnn.jpg, where nnnn is the camera's sequence number. I want to preserve the sequence number and the jpg extension while changing only the file name prefix (the part before the underscore).
Here's what I tried:
macatony-2:HVAC ctossc$ ls -d *.jpg | sed -e 's/.*/mv -f & &/' -e 's/IMG/HVAC/' | sh
This is the result:
mv: rename HVAC_0205.jpg to IMG_0205.jpg: No such file or directory
I wanted "rename IMG_0205.jpg to HVAC_0205.jpg". The arguments to mv seem to be reversed, so the mv command can't "rename" (or delete) the HVAC* file before it is created.
Any suggestions?

I still wonder however, why my original code reversed the order of the mv arguments. Knowing that would make my earlier failed attempts a learning experience.
1st) nbar's 'for' loop is the best in my opinion
Why your script got things backwards. lets break it down
ls -d *.jpg | sed -e 's/.*/mv -f & &/'
generates:
mv -f IMG_1.jpg IMG_1.jpg
mv -f IMG_2.jpg IMG_2.jpg
mv -f IMG_3.jpg IMG_3.jpg
mv -f IMG_4.jpg IMG_4.jpg
mv -f IMG_5.jpg IMG_5.jpg
mv -f IMG_6.jpg IMG_6.jpg
mv -f IMG_7.jpg IMG_7.jpg
mv -f IMG_8.jpg IMG_8.jpg
mv -f IMG_9.jpg IMG_9.jpg
ls -d *.jpg | sed -e 's/.*/mv -f & &/' -e 's/IMG/HVAC/'
generates:
mv -f HVAC_1.jpg IMG_1.jpg
mv -f HVAC_2.jpg IMG_2.jpg
mv -f HVAC_3.jpg IMG_3.jpg
mv -f HVAC_4.jpg IMG_4.jpg
mv -f HVAC_5.jpg IMG_5.jpg
mv -f HVAC_6.jpg IMG_6.jpg
mv -f HVAC_7.jpg IMG_7.jpg
mv -f HVAC_8.jpg IMG_8.jpg
mv -f HVAC_9.jpg IMG_9.jpg
because when the -e 's/IMG/HVAC/' executed, it changed the 1st occurance of IMG, which was the IMG following the -f
I personally do not use 'sed' anymore except for some really trivial stuff. If I need to general messing with a list or the contents of a file I use 'awk' or 'perl', both of which are a bit easier to work with and for me to read afterwards. But if you really wanted to fix the 'sed' you could have used:
ls -d *.jpg | sed -e 's/IMG$.*$/mv -f & HVAC\1/' | sh
HOWEVER, I would not really use either 'awk' nor 'perl' for this task. I would use something similar to what 'nbar' gave you (although I might have over complicated mine some more where as 'nbar' kept it simple and easy to read

Terminal using wrong computer name

I'm using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), running Yosemite 10.10.1, and having a really strange issue with terminal. Occasionally when I open Terminal, it tells me I'm logged into bash on a different device. For example, I'm looking at my terminal now, and instead of saying:
Nathan's-Macbook-Pro:~ Nathan$
it says
davids-iPhone:~ Nathan$
I have no idea who david is or where his iPhone is. My only guess is it has something to do with being on open university wifi, but I still don't see why bash would display anything but my own device. Help?

Pedantically and FWIW, IP routers are entirely unrelated to DNS. Your router is probably a gateway of some sort, and probably includes other functions beyond routing; probably a firewall and a DHCP server. (There are pure routers around.)
I'd expect you are running NAT and DHCP here.
And if that is the case, then I'd expect to see a domain name (one that is purely and carefully bogus, or preferably one that you have registered) set on the DHCP server, and provided to the clients via DHCP. I'd also expect to see two DNS servers referenced within the DHCP server configuration, your existing 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Picking a bogus domain is far harder than many folks realize; best to have a real and registered one, or a subdomain of a real and registered one.

Access proxy from terminal using proxy auto-config

I know about using ntlmaps to wrapper my proxy configurations e get access from Terminal, iTerm2, &c exporting http_proxy variable and others. But I don't want go on using this approach because it simply ***** (forgive me for this word...) for a lot of issues.
I would like simply setup my proxy environment on Network Preferences/Advanced/Automatic Proxy Configuration: (host: http://myproxy/proxy.pac) and using this setup for a whole system, including my terminals. Therefore, are there any way to reach it?
Another details, my proxy is authenticated and uses ntlm type and in browser I use internet without problems.
Thanks a lot for any help!

I am not quite sure what you are looking for. Mac OS X has supported auto proxy configuration since 10.6 Snow Leopard was introduced (acutally in response to a request I made ). If you open System Preferences, click on Network, then go to the Advanced settings for your network interface, in the Proxies tab there is an option called Auto Proxy Discovery. This is different to Automatic Proxy Configuration which was also available in previous versions of OS X. Automatic Proxy Configuration uses a selected PAC file (Proxy Auto Configuration file) but Auto Proxy Discovery uses the WPAD method of finding your proxy server.
See this article for information about WPAD (Web Proxy Automatic Detection).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol
WPAD uses either an option advertised from your DHCP server giving the address of your proxy server, or WPAD can use a standard URL based on your domain name to download a dat file containing your proxy server details.
I have seen reports saying the the DNS method is problematic with Mac OS X but also seen reports that the DHCP method does work with this option successfully. So my suggestion is to define the DHCP option code 252 to advertise your proxy server.
Note: Thanks to yet another request I made in the past the Mac OS X DHCP Server can be manually configured to define additional DHCP option codes including option 252. The ability to define DHCP option codes was added in Mac OS X 10.5 Server (Leopard).

Sending 'show' command outputs to console/terminal using EEM

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to EEM and was wondering if it would be possible to send 'show' commands (like 'show interface' or 'show crypto ipsec sa') to the terminal/console session after every, let's say, 10 minutes using watchdog timer. I know how to send it to the flash but would like to know if something of this sort is possible.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Nithakur,
you can try the "action puts" from EEM
event manager applet SHOWI
event timer watchdog time 600
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "show int X/Y"
action 3.0 puts "$_cli_result"
for this to work, you would need to have "logging monitor informational" in your run and "terminal monitor" activated. The other option is to use IOS send command
event manager applet SHOWI2
event timer watchdog time 600
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "show int XY"
action 3.0 set A "$_cli_result"
action 4.0 cli command "send *" pattern "C:"
action 5.0 cli command "$A\032" pattern "confirm"
action 6.0 cli command "yes"
Note that the \032 is an equivalent for CTRL+Z (^Z) so after you configure it, you will see this line as
action 5.0 cli command "$A^Z" pattern "confirm"
in your ruiining config.
Regards,
Alex

[Solved] Can't type ~ in terminal using AwesomeWM

I'm running Arch on a System76 Pangolin Performance (panp9 model) laptop. I'm using AwesomeWM, and I can't type the tilde character in any of the terminal apps I have installed. RXVT-Unicode is no go. Xterm is no go. MATE Terminal is no go. I can type backticks without any difficulty, but if I hold down shift and press the same key in a terminal, I get nothing.
The weird part is that I can run xev, bang on the tilde key, and see a response every time. I can type tildes in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I can even type a tilde into Opera, LibreOffice, and the GIMP's text tool.
I've tried googling this, but I haven't found anything. I use the Source Code Pro font in my terminals, but I use the exact same font in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I haven't seen anything in the Arch or AwesomeWM wikis, either. Does anybody have any pointers?

Incorrect formatting in Terminal using cut and paste

I'm at a bit of a loss here as none of my other macs seem to do this
When I'm in Terminal and do a copy of text it sometimes seems to corrupt the layout. When I paste it, it would all end up on one line.
For example:
if (a=a) then {
print "test";
would end up as:
if (a=a) then { print "test"; }
Which isn't a big deal for copying 3 lines, but when I'm in a configuration file that requires proper layout or is 100 lines long, can drive me crazy.
I've compaired my terminal settings on my home MBP to my work, all settings are the same. I feel like i'm missing something obvious here... my terminal emulation shouldn't be the issue, if I connect with my "home" mbp it works properly every time..
Anyone have any thoughts? Suggestions? I've tried searching the discussion forums and google, however the terms "cut paste terminal" are pretty widely used
Thanks!

In that case, Terminal is ignoring the Mac lineendings. I have the same problem with text pasted from editors like Tex-Edit, however Tex-Edit includes plenty of menu tools for text conversion. The characters are still there but are invisible, so running a script on the window converts the lineendings from any to any format. This is an old story with Macs vs UNIX vs DOS. Every system has its own linendings

Terminal use and what it does, can I sort?

I just opened terminal for the first time and was adding this command
sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart
then I managed to duplicate the sentence and a warning came next with options to put in my password or a Ctr abort. command, neither of which I managed to do as the page froze, I then proceeded to close it, again I got a warning asking me did I want to do this. I did as I did not give it my password I thought it would just revert back to how it was, but when I open terminal now the text that was at the top of the page is no longer there, it was something about log in.
i am now worried I have done something really bad, can anybody help me please?

You need to reboot to get your shell back.
It doesn't sound like you did any lasting damage, but you easily could have. Keep out of the shell unless you know what you're doing. Running "sudo" commands is not the right way to learn.
The Cisco VPN client is garbage. Uninstall it and use the built-in Cisco client instead.

Network Storage (SAN or NAS) or Terminal Use for VideoEdit

Hi @ All,
I am in a IT-Project and we are planing to change from Final Cut pro (Mac) on Adobe Premiere Pro (Prod.Suite) 6 on Windows Clients.
We have following Situation:
- My VideoEdit department will be outsourced and the distance is up to 1-2 km away from my technical and Server department
- I have minimum 3 editors (3 Clients) and some external editors
- I have a 1Gbit Connection between this two departments
- All storage is placed and backuped in the technical department
- Due to DataSecurity it is not allowed to have a local storage in the VideoEdit dept
- the storage amount we need is about 21TB
The Questions I have are:
- is the 1Gbit between bouth dept. enough?
- is SAN over 1Gbit (without FibreChannel) sufficient enough?
- is NAS performance over 1Gbit enough?
- is remote work over something like citrix or remote-desktop (Hardware will be attached direct to the storage) possible and sufficient enough?
I asked our Storage specialist for a possible solution and he was telling me something about Adobe AnyWhere but as far as I can see, this is something like working over a cloud or something like working on a terminal server. The next point is, that the release of Adobe AnyWhere is planned in 2013 but there is no detailed information about it.
Hope that some experts over here can help me to find a great practicable solution.
Big thx in advanced

1 - is the 1Gbit between bouth dept. enough?
Not for editing over (reading), but certainly for copying files. The problems will be as vast as the number of formats (and their associated bit rates) you'll need to edit.
2 - is SAN over 1Gbit (without FibreChannel) sufficient enough?
The performance won't be that much greater than that of a NAS. Ethernet has become pretty efficient, but the problem is as it has been - sustained throughput. If you were on 10Gb, the headroom would be far greater, of course, and more tolerant of throughput hills and valleys. If you can throttle everyone's connection to the switch, you might get away with this for a while, given the right SAN software.
3 - is NAS performance over 1Gb enough? Not reliably.
4 - remote access. No.
Adobe Anywhere has a lot of promise, but has yet to be delivered. Even then, the first shops to adopt will be taking a big risk. Why not keep the Macs, upgrade them to Mountain Lion, get a second-hand 4Gb fibre switch and install the Mac version of Adobe's software. A Mac mini can run as your MDC for the SAN and all of the Mountain Lion systems would have the SAN software license already installed.
If you are concerned about data security, be sure to sign on with a contractor who carries a $10M bond and has security clearance already in place. That kind of thing is SOP, really, for high security content development. And what could be more secure than sneakernet when moving files around? You are either being handed a losing deck, or you don't have the complete picuture just yet. I'd guess the latter.
Adobe Anywhere probably isn't the answer either. When you are dealing with secured data, the last thing you want to do is to introduce an untested, unproven piece of software. It might handle everything very well from a technical aspect. But how does it handle data security? Too many questions unanswered.

Can I find the current tab in Terminal using applescript?

Running a script from the shell by prepending
#! /usr/bin/osascript
as part of my .profile, can I find the "current" tab using Applescript. Most of the time, the "current" tab will not be visible, as the shell is being initialised, or re-initialised.
I want to set the dircolors for my shell by determining the background color of the tab in which the shell is executing.

Under the Window menu you can activate any of the palettes that you want. In your case the Field tab is under the Object palette

Set askforpassworddelay in terminal using defaults

This defaults command is all over the web but is not working for me:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver askForPasswordDelay -int 1800
This is probably because the XML tag for the askForPasswordDelay time us <real>.
<dict>
<key>askForPasswordDelay</key>
<real>60</real>
</dict>
I basically want to set the System Preferences/Security Password delay to immediately which would be:
<real>0.0</real>
Just not sure how to do it using the defaults command.
Thank you all!

AFAICT, the default setting for that item when initially setting the Security prefPane to require a password is 0.0, all I can suggest is to delete the plist and reset it. BTW, that plist is unique to each user. Here's mine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>askForPassword</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>askForPasswordDelay</key>
<real>0.0</real>
</dict>
</plist>
See http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyL ists/Introduction/Introduction.html for more details.
