Startup folder of Macs, Linux and Unix

Can anyone tell me the startup folders of Macs Linus or Unix?
Thanks.

Assuming you mean how you run stuff when the machine boots...
For Mac, (OS X) you put the proper entries into /Library/StartupItems
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mac+os+x+startup+/Library/StartupItemsOn linux, it's /etc/rc.local or stuff in /etc/rc.d or something. You should find info if you google.

  • Installing linux and unix on my macbook pro without using vmware

    I was browsing through the forum and bumped into a topic where the best advice for installing linux application is the following:
    http://macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/7073
    However, I have not tested this out therefore I am pretty reluctant to put this on my laptop which is currently running MAC OS X 10.5.8. (4gb ram). If anyone have done this please let me know.
    1) My question: Is this a reliable method to run linux applications on MAC OS natively using the x11 from Apple?
    Note: I have vmware and I personally don't prefer booting a separate OS on my computer just to use one or two apps. However if that is the only solution I already have ubuntu running on my vmware. Also I wanted to completely wipe off my vmware and the ISO images (ubuntu and win xp) to free up the space in my hard drive. If I have to use ubuntu which may be a "safer solution" than run linux applications on my hard drive then I will stick to the vmware method.
    If someone could give me some insight in this topic then I would greatly appreciated their help.
    p.s. I want to install xilinx web-pack and other useful softwares that are only available in linux, ubuntu and win xp/vista/w7. My goal is to completely transform my laptop from dual booting ubuntu and win xp to just run mac snow leopard (in the near future).
    Thanks in advance,

    Basically I want to run linux and unix applications without running vmware on my mac os x. I heard there is a way to use x11 and FinkCommander (http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/) application. However, I am unable to figure out how to install programs such as xilinx ise (http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logicdesignprod/foundation.htm) on my MacBook Pro using FinkCommander. In addition, xilinx ise runs on linux and windows however not mac.
    In simple words I want to solely use Leapord (not snow leapord) to run applications such xilinx ise (which is only available on windows platform or linux).
    I recently shifted from windows xp platform to mac and I rarely use vmware after making the shift. Therefore, I am trying to find a solution where I don't require vmware at all, my plan is to remove vmware from my hard drive.
    I just restated what I stated in the previous post in a simpler manner, sorry for any miscommunication on the earlier post. I am looking for a step by guide to install linux applications on my mac. I am at a process of learn linux at the moment so I am kind of slow when it comes to linux and mac. Especially when it comes to installing using command line not GUI.
    I just want to know if there is a solution out there for running linux based applications to run on my mac.

  • Installing Linux and Unix application in OS X

    Hello there,
    Can somebody show me a website that has a step by step instruction on how to install Linux and Unix applications in OS X? I couldn't find this instruction on Apple website.
    Thanks, Ramin

    I found out there is an alternative to Fink which is DarwinPorts or MacPorts. It seems they have ported the FreeBSD packages to OS X and therefore their package repository is more complete comparing to Fink, right?
    I wonder which one is a better option to go?
    Thanks, Ramin

  • My Yosemite startup screen (grey mac logo and bar) has frozen after installing. The progress bar is stuck at halfway.

    My Yosemite startup screen (grey mac logo and bar) has frozen after installing. The progress bar is stuck at halfway.
    H

    I've had the same issue and despite clearing the PRAM and powering on and off repeatedly this is what has (at least temporarily) resolved my issue:
    I've done this 3 times and sometimes it works right off the jump other times I've had to wait a bit and try again or power off and try again, once the start up screen is frozen hit Command : Option : Shift : Esc and a window should pop up "You restarted because of a problem..." from there you can go to your desktop. I haven't found an actual resolution to fix the problem but this does get you into your computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • FormsCentral PDFs not working for Linux and Unix users

    I recently created a PDF (using Indesign > Acrobat IX Pro > Formscentral [AFC]) that includes radio buttons, form fields, linked videos set to play in the PDF once clicked and (after running through AFC) a submit button.
    The form has been distributed and we have already had hundreds of successful responses collected in the AFC site, all is working well there.
    One major problem we are having is that we have a lot of Linux/Unix users and the response from them is that they can't activate the videos, the form fields are out of kilter alignmentwise and the submit button does not work. Even when using the proper Adobe Acrobat Reader (v9, for example).
    Is the Adobe development team aware of problems such as these for Linux/Unix platforms and is there a suggested fix that they know of?
    The link to the actual file is here: http://cms.iopscience.iop.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/b5a48eac-8642-11e2-8cf8-e 50acbc9fd86/NJP-Video-Abstracts-Competition-2013.pdf
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jesse,
    can you email me ([email protected]) the original PDF (before you imported it in FormsCentral)? Also, I'm curious about the format of the video in the PDF. Does the video in the PDF worked in Linux/Unix before going through the FormsCentral import/export?
    When I look at your PDF on my Red Hat Entrprise Linux 6.0 system with Reader 9.5.4 it does look fine (location of the fields) but the video generate an error (which I'm still investigating). I have not yet try the submit button on your form (as I don't want to submit bad data to you) but I seem to have an issue with the submit button on other PDF forms I generated (when I try to submit from a linux machine). Still investigating that as well.

  • OEM in Linux and Unix Memory difference on Deployed OC4J Container

    I have 2 Oracle 9iAS environments 1 each for production and test.
    My Prod servers are on AIX (Unix)
    My Test server is on Linux
    Under Enterprise Manager If I create an OC4J container exactly the same in both and deploy an application exactly the same in both could someone tell me why the memory usage display is widely different - on linux its much more used than on unix?
    Perplexing.

    The code gets pretty messy as I have both a SendMail and MailMessage class that I use. Basically for not authenticated messages (I need authenticated), the example on metalink Doc ID: Note:234490.1 with subject "Mail Service Setup" is what I used to get this going.
    I updated the local application.xml file located in C:\jdev1012\jdev\system10.1.2.2.0.1929\oc4j-config\application.xml
    <mail-session location="mail/mailsession" smtp-host="my.mail.server">
    <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>
    </mail-session>
    On a datapage, I have a button with event_Email. In the action class I have an onEmail() method that calls the code to create a message and send it with the email transport.
    In my libraries in JDeveloper, I created one called JavaMail which has activation.jar and mail.jar. This is added to the project.
    Everything works fine when running locally. The problem is in deployment. The OC4J container that I deploy to has a java2.policy file. At first the classpath, and the location in the policy file for mail.jar and activate.jar were not the same. I updated the policy file to use the files in the classpath. Since mail.jar and activate.jar on the OAS server are in the classpath, I didn't include these files in the deployment.
    When trying to run, I don't get any messages, just a 500 Error.
    If I try to implement a policy file on the local OC4J in JDeveloper, I get lots of problems, and I gave up on that route.
    Hope that adds more info. Thanks, Ken

  • Mac mini and Unix

    Le mini est acheté fin octobre et mi décembre il commence des reboot à intervalles non fixes mais rapprochés. Tres rapprochés. Comme je suis en Creuse loin d'un Apple Store et des Genius, un de leurs techniciens itinérants est venu et a TOUT CHANGÉ, carte mère etc TOUT, SAUF LA CARCASSE EN ALU.
    Depuis son départ, au démarrage du mac un long listing Unix TRES long apparait puis bloque vers les 2/3. J'ai essayé cmd-R et reinstallé tout le système Yosemite. Rien de changé. Le mac a réparé le disque (??) et les permissions mais pareil.
    Je n'ai pas de clé ou de disque de secours bootable qui me permettrait de formatter et de réinstaller les 2 partitions..........

    MrHoffman is referring to a line in the Preferences dialog for Mail:
    Mail.app

    If you have an LDAP server configured, and tick this line, Mail.app will automatically complete partially entered email addresses as you type them.  Which means it'll never object to partial email addresses because it will have already completed any genuine one for you.
    Well, first of all, the option you're referring to doesn't seem to exist. Perhaps this is a Pre-Mavericks option?
    In any case, I think you're missing the point here. The problem is not the typing in of the address. Autocompletion is a nuisance in this case, but by having the address you want in the person's Card in Contacts, it works.
    The problem I am trying to avoid is after composing the message and pressing [Send]. At THIS time Mail.app will complain if there's no @ in the To address, even though it is a valid address for a local user on the server. Postfix on the server is configured to deal with these emails appropriately (and does), but Mail.app insists on complaining about it and you have to press "Send Anyway" every time you want to send a local email message. Apple (or at least the developers of Mail.app) seem to have forgotten the origins of email on unix systems where use of just the username was commonplace. Not so much now, but that doesn't mean that the older standards should be discarded as it's still the most convenient way to send local email. This didn't use to be a problem, but one of the updates (to Lion maybe) introduced this irritating and unnecessary behaviour.
    I wouldn't mind if there was an option to have the warning or not, but I cannot find any way to turn it off, hence my question here to ask if anyone else knows of maybe a hidden option to prevent Mail's irritating habit of complaining like this.

  • Share a folder between Mac (LAN) and PC (WLAN)

    I'm having difficulty in setting this up. In my office, I have the following:
    Setup:
    Cisco Linksys Router (LAN/WLAN)
    MacBook Pro - 10.8.1 (LAN)
    Dell Vostro W7 (WLAN - 802.11N)
    On the MBP:
    I have enabled file sharing, including AFP and SMB
    I have selected a folder to be shared, with my username as the only user
    Username/password is same as Dell
    I have workroup set to WORKGROUP
    On the Dell:
    I have enabled file sharing
    I have selected a folder to be shared with my username as the only user
    Username/password is same as MBP
    I have workroup set to WORKGROUP
    Problems:
    1. The Dell can not see the MBP.
    I have tried using smb:\\192.168.1.XXX, with error: Windows does not know how to handle.
    I have tried using afp:\\192.168.1.XXX, with error: Can not find server.
    I have checked the Network folder on the windows explorer sidebar, and it does not show anything
    2. The MBP can not access the Dell.

    I have tried using afp:\\192.168.1.XXX, with error: Can not find server.
    I have checked the Network folder on the finder sidebar, and it DOES show the Dell, but when I click "connect as" it has error: Can not find server.
    HELP:
    I am out of ideas. I've tried following several guides online, but it still does not allow me to connect in either direction. I just want to share a single folder, so that I can access some files easily between the two. Never had so much frustratingly bad luck before. Appreciate the help!

    Before you go and purchase Macdrive or Macfuse...
    Wait until Snow Leopard debuts on June 8th. The Bootcamp with 10.6 is said to have hfs+ windows drivers; so basically you can read your OSX volumes under windows.

  • How to execute Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX...

    okay, I know this is very stupid, but can anybody tell me how to run Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX?
    I know how to run it from windows, I have a batch file created in windows, will it work on MAC, LINUX and UNIX as well? (I'm not sure if on other OS, there is such a file type call *.bat)

    See what I mean about probably wanting a beginner's book on Unix and/or shell scripting?
    okay crackers, the only thing that I have to do is put
    in the name of my program into "your program here".Not necessarily. There's the ClassPath, program parameters, etc. What you need to put in the "your program here" depends upon your program. What I did was allow the script to be invoked with command-line parameters and you could (depending upon your program) put "-jar myjar.jar" in the indicated spot, if your JAR file was runnable.
    The rest no need to change. right?I don't know. What does your program need? Only you can answer that, not me. I just furnished an example.

  • Anyway to dual boot either Linux and Mac OS X?

    Is there a way to dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X similar to Boot Camp?

    Here's where you start.
    As an alternative you can purchase either Parallels Desktop for Mac or VM Fusion which provide virtual machines in which you can run various operating systems concurrently with OS X. Both products run various versions of Windows, Linux, and Unix.

  • I cannot get Firefox to open using Startup folder with the shortcut

    At startup I get grey screen and a folder with a flashing question mark.  How do I reset my MacBook Pro to the manufacture defaults?

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • Folder with question mark and smiling mac face at start up

    After I was importing some video today, shut down G5 and on start up I get the folder with question mark and smiling mac face.
    Any help?
    Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Boot from a drive with Disk Warrior 4, or your emergency boot drive (FW or alternate) or if you lack that, use single user mode to run fsck command. The last option would be your Tiger DVD but that may be 10.4.3 or earlier and not your best.
    I say that because it seems like it was more than just needing to reset the startup disk preference and may have a corrupt directory. It shutdown smoothly and fully?
    At the least, using the OPTION key and SHIFT key for Safe Boot. My recollection of trying to do both is that it won't. You can do one or the other, but not both. So running FSCK is just insurance to repair the directory.
