Running the curl command on a WSA

Has anybody tried running the curl command on a WSA? - we're running Async OS 7.1 on our S-660's and unable to run curl on it.
Thanks.

HI Andy,
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | Sort-Object DatabaseSize -Descending | Format-Table Name, DatabaseSize, AvailableNewMailboxSpace
THis will give you the following info:
Where availablenewmailboxspace (last collum) is white space.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

How can I check whitepace in a database?
You will need to dismount the database and use ESEUTIL /MS to check the available whitespace in a database. For an example, see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996139(v=EXCHG.65).aspx (note that you have to multiply the number of pages by 32K).
Note that there is a status property available on databases within Exchange 2010, but it should not be used to determine the amount of total whitespace available within the database:
Get-MailboxDatabase MDB1 -Status | FL AvailableNewMailboxSpace
AvailableNewMailboxSpace tells you is how much space is available in the root tree of the database. It does not factor in the free pages within mailbox tables, index tables, etc. It is not representative of the white space within the database

Error Running the following command - "ipsadmin change component iwtUserInfoProvider iwtUserInfoProvider.xml". Please help?

I am trying the run the ipsadmin command as follows:
"ipsadmin change component iwtUserInfoProvider iwtUserInfoProvider.xml"
And I am getting the following error:
"Profile change failed. More info: com.iplanet.portalserver.ipsadmin.Component"
I just added some more attributes to the xml file
that look like these :
<!- BEGIN NEW ATTRIBUTES -->
<iwt:Att name="iwtUserInfoProvider-EntryDN"
     desc="Entry DN"
     type="string"
idx="a204"
     userConfigurable="TRUE">
     <Val>New</Val>
     <Rperm>ADMIN</Rperm><Rperm>OWNER</Rperm>
     <Wperm>ADMIN</Wperm><Wperm>OWNER</Wperm>
</iwt:Att>
<!- END NEW ATTRIBUTES -->
Question:
1. What did I do wrong?
2. Is there a log file that stores the ipsadmin
errors?
./ipsadmin -chkxml iwtUserInfoProvider.xml
returned "Operation completed successfully".
So I know there is nothing wrong with the xml
file.
Any help in fixing this problem is gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

Hi There,
The ipsadmin tool does not seem to be able to dynamically add any new attributes to a component. the best would be to do a "ipsadmin delete component iwtUserInfoProver" and then "ipsadmin -import iwtUserInfoProvider.xml" this should "update" the component with the new attribute.
HTH.

Cron job help- Need to run the Autobuddy command every night...

I have not written anything in the form of a Unix script for YEARS and YEARS. Our XServe was built in Advanced mode, currently running 10.5.4 Server. On this box, we are running Wiki and iChat. Since we built this box as an Advanced box the "Autobuddy" option was not available.
I have since enabled it at the command line, but I am told by Apple that there still needs to be a command run after every time a user logs in if you want others to Autobuddy. That command is this:
"sudo /usr/bin/jabber_autobuddy -m"
Now I think this would be pretty easy to setup as an automatic cron script, but like I said, I have not written something like this in forever. Not to mention, I am not 100% sure what needs to happen since running the script with an sudo command will prompt for the root password.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me write the script up, and give me some instructions on how to install it. I just want it run everyday, midnight is fine, I don't really care. All I know is that we have a dept of 150 people, and it grows and shrinks all the time. They can deal with a new user not being seen for 24-48 hours, I just want to get this automated.
Any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Tom

If you want to keep it simple try [CronniX|http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix] a graphical tool for setting up CRON jobs on OSX. Whilst I have not actually done an autobuuddy in this way, I cannot see any reason why it will not run as a Cron Job.
The proper way ideally would be to use the launchd service.
Something like this should work:

#30 | can i run the Terminal Command to stop Snapshots with no problems?

i am somewhat surprised to find out that the 75 GB of "Backups" that are taking up space on my MBP may be due to some "feature" in Mavericks or the new OS's or whatever and i have had to MOVE all my data off my laptop as a consequence of this over the last two months because i have no more space on my Hard Drive.
is it legit and OK to follow the terminal commands in #30 without having any problems?
i am on a mid 2009 MBP running Mavericks and i have a 2 TB Time Capsule that i am wirelessly backing up my data.
as some kind of sadistic test in advance of running this terminal command - can i plug my laptop into the Time Capsule, unplug the laptop from the time capsule, restart and see how much space got recaptured on my HD for my data?
i mean, well - i must be missing something but i mean i am hoping i can get this to stop so i can get my data back on my laptop. i'm walking around with an external HD of all my Mac Pro information just so i can get work done when i go to a coffee shop or something.

for those suffering through this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24878591#24878591
In Terminal:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Turn off local Time Machine snapshots and trigger automatic cleanup of accumulated local snapshot data. Requires root privileges.
(use sudo tmutil enablelocal to turn back on)
this got rid of my 75 GB backup file (!!) and now i am going to move my data back to my laptop...
not sure if there is an apple tech article to link to regarding this issue but it would be good to post if there is one.

Help protect my Linksys WRT54G from the "curl" command which bypasses my security settings

It's way too easy to break into my Linksys WRT54G router!
Do you have firmware that will fix this vulnerability?
Instantly bypassing the administrator password, my fifteen-year old
neighbor broke into my Linksys WRT54G router (firmware revision v1.0.0.6)
in ten seconds simply by sending this one "curl" command to it via the
Internet from his home next door!
c:\> curl -d "SecurityMode=0&layout=en" http://192.168.0.1/Security.tri
This kid was kind enough to knock on my door today to tell me to fix it.
I invited him in, and from inside my own house, he showed me the Linksys
WRT54G command above which immediately disabled all my wireless security
WITHOUT him having to enter any password!
He showed me how to disable remote administration but he said the
vulnerability still exists until I get a new router. I can't believe
everyone with a Linksys WRT54G router is throwing it in the garbage.
Where/how can I find a firmware update that protects me from this curl
vulnerability?

To protect your router:
* disable remote management.
* enable WPA2 or WPA with a strong preshared key on the router.
That is essentially all you must do. This protects against the curl problem (from the outside). The benefits of the rest varies:
* set a strong, hard to guess password on the router.
That's always a good idea to prevent some guest coming over, plugging into your network and modifying the router. For that to be relevant the person either needs physical access to your wired LAN or the WPA key.
* disable UPnP
Good idea if you are worried you could install some malware on your computer. UPnP allows to set port forwardings for incoming connections from the internet. It allows a computer to automatically setup the forwarding to make a server accessible in the internet. You'll often need this for gaming. But it obviously can be exploited by malware.
* access server to https instead of http
With WPA in place on the wireless this is only really necessary if you worry about someone gaining physical access to your router. https protects the password transmission to the router. But then, if someone gains physical access to my router I think the protection of my password would be the least of my problems.
* disable wireless access to the router configuration
For this to be effective with WPA in place would require the attacker to crack WPA to get into your WLAN. WPA is considered secure at this time. Anyone cracking WPA with a strong key must have a lot of computing power and a lot of knowledge. I don't know if this setting would really prevent that attacker of gaining full access to the router. This setting may be useful if you have an occasional guest to which you grant wireless access to the internet...
* changing the default IP address from 192.168.1.1 to something else and turning off the DHCP server on the router
With the DHCP server in place changing the IP address is no mean of protection because the DHCP server assigns a correct IP address in your LAN. You have to setup static IP addresses on all computers and devices. However, if someone gained access to your LAN (wireless or wired) all you have to do is wait and listen to the LAN traffic. It usually takes a few seconds until some noisy windows computer will broadcast a message and you have picked up the IP addresses in the LAN
Some more things often mentioned with questionable benefits:
* turn off SSID broadcast
Supposed to make the WLAN "invisible". O.K. It does make it harder for the average Joe to check what WLANs are in the neighborhood and which channels they use to optimize the choice of channels and limit interference. It does also prevent accidental connection attempts. However, with WPA/WPA2 in place the WLAN is protected anyway. Anyone, who really wants to know if there is a network can scan with a wireless card in monitor mode. The SSID is transmitted unencrypted. Plus in average it requires more times and more power (on laptops) to connect to the network as the wireless card must actively try to connect to each configured WLAN on the computer to find out if the network is there or not. With SSID broadcast it simply scans for broadcasts and then knows the network is there...
* wireless MAC address filtering
Supposed to limit the computers which can connect to the WLAN. Only computers with the MAC address on the list can connect. Again, this only prevents accidental connection attempts. MAC addresses are transmitted unencrypted. It is easy to pick them up with a wireless scanner. Thus, for anyone who knew how to crack WPA the MAC address filter list will be the least of problems. Most wireless cards can be configured with any MAC address you like. But the list increases the amount of effort for you to add another wireless computer to your WLAN as you always have to remember to set it up correctly...

Run the "nice" command on startup?

Hi all,
Since I've experienced overheating problems, I've dug a little and discovered this wonderful "nice" command, that's currently letting me install Windows 7 on a VM thanks to VirtualBox without turning my logic board into a critter. My question is, is there a way (and a good reason) to run this command right after booting up, say via AppleScript? I haven't noticed any sluggish behavior when running this command, but right now, VirtualBox is running, and my temp censor displays readings oscillating between 60°C and 70°C, far below the 120°C I've noted yesterday, right before my MBP shut down from exhaustion...
So, how-to...?
Message was edited by: Didier Caizergues

Get more memory. My system started paging like crazy when running Virtual PC.
The point of this topic was, how do I automatize this running "nice" in Terminal. I already added Terminal to my Startup Items, but it merely opens at the prompt, and I have to manually enter "nice", then return, to enter "nice mode". Haven't thought of typing "renice" since I started using this function...
You can invoke terminal ( unix ) commands from an applescript program. I am not familiar with nice, but the following applescript file did start up Windows. I could not figure out whether or not the nice command did anything.
The first thing that you need to do is to make the text into an AppleScript program.
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.

If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.

You don't say what OS, but in Solaris 8 make sure:
ls -l /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
crw-rw---- 1 root sys 3, 0 May 3 2006 /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
And in 10:
$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip

It's worth learning truss or dtrace, you can debug file open failures like this quite easily and quickly.

Set env using a script and run the command (dependency on the env)

I need to set the env varaible by running a shell script with arguments as 'ksh setEnviron r6.1' and then run the command in the

With Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd1); ,Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd2); I am not able to execute the Cmd2 as it is running in different process.
How do solve this issue.
Is there any other method to run the command to set env variables and run the second command.(dependent on the env) to get the output.

Curl command to parse web sites

Hi there,
I am trying to parse price details on the www.travelbag.co.uk web site. Basically I use a preformatted URL which contains date ranges and hotel information and put that into the Curl command. The idea then is via Applescript to add 1 to the day and have that running in a loop so I can determine which times of the year are the cheapest for a particular hotel etc. I have a working set up for the KenwoodTravel.co.uk web site but the problem with travelbag is that it first returns a holding page (like a please wait whilst we get the details). The Curl returns this http response and finishes. Doing it via a web browser works of course but I was wondering if anyone knew any tricks with the Curl command to wait for the full response?
Thanks,
Mike...
PS hope this all makes sense.

It is probably working through AJAX, much like the forums here. Your best bet is to debug the site in Safari's developer mode to try to find the AJAX request. You can then feed that into Curl.

Sending a CURL command

I know this is a bit obscure but I thought it would be pretty straightforward. The curl command I need to execute is
[my_user_name]:[my_password] -H "API-TOKEN: [api_token]" -H "API-VERSION: 0.1" https://domainOfInterest.com/api"
Given my very little curl experience, I came up with something along the lines of:
private var loader : HTTPURLLoader;
                    private var END_POINT : String = "[myDomainOfInterest]";
                    private var user : String = "[userName]";
                    private var password : String = "[myPassword]";
                    private var token: String = "[myToken";
private function loadURL() : void {
                              var request : URLRequest = new URLRequest();
                              request.url = END_POINT;
                              var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                              variables.user = userName;
                              variables.password = myPassword;
                              var myToken : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "API-TOKEN", token );
                              request.requestHeaders.push( myToken );
                              var APIVersion : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "API-VERSION", "0.1" );
                              request.requestHeaders.push( APIVersion );
                              request.data = variables;
                              try {
                                        loader.load( request );
                              } catch ( error : SecurityError ) {
                                        Logger.error( "A SecurityError has occurred." );
I am not receiving any bad info (like unauthorized, which I was for awhile) but the data coming back is empty. Is the general form of what I'm trying to do correct?

In case anyone runs into this, I was able to solve my problem by adding one more request header
var JSONHeader : URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader( "Accept", "application/json" );
BTW, since ActionScript doesn't support custom request headers with GET, I used
