TELNET or Hyper Terminal Application

Id like to use the ibook G4 to log technical data from a device using the USB - I've done this in the past using a PC and the RS232 port while using the "Hyper Terminal" application.
Question : Is there a MAC equivalent application for this purpose?

You might be able to find something here...

[Solved] subtle wm launching terminal application in different view

Hello I'm trying to launch a terminal application in a different view from the other terminal windows I added the following to subtle.rb:
grab "S-W-i", "urxvt -e alsamixer"
tag "chat" do
match "alsamixer"
gravity :right
end
and I dunno, I just don't have a clue on what else I could need to do.

Try launching the grab with the name option for urxvt:

Forgot to mention that in my previous post...
Alright now centerim is only on one view however all other urxvt terminal also spawn in that view.
Edit: solved it, should've just removed the :class urxvt thingy. Thanks!

Default settings file for Terminal Application?

Hello,
As in other Unixes /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc seem to contain the default settings for the Terminal Application.
But i was looking for the config file where i can set the default keyboard or keymapping for the Terminal Application?
The "Desktop-Keyboard/Keymapping" is ok , but in the Terminal several keys don´t work correctly. I need to ssh into another machine but the users password can´t be written correctly as of errors with keymapping so i can´t login into the other box.
Thanks for infos,
tyrtux.

Then, check ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist, using:
defaults read com.apple.Terminal
in the Terminal. Look especially at the KeyBindings entries. Use the Property List Editor that comes with the XCode Tools to change/modify those to suit your needs.

Install solaris via hyper terminal

Hi,
I just got my new ultra 5 box and I was wondering what type of cable and hyper terminal settings I need in order to get this thing rolling.
The type of cable I used before was a null modem cable db9F --> db9F. Then I read I needed db9 --> db25. So I went out and look for db9 --> db25 only to find that there wasn't any male to male cables ... any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,

Dear friends,
I have the same problem...
I have a VGA adapter in my sparc 5, but my 14" monitor doesn't show nothing (only a new MAG 17" but it's not mine).
So, I switched to HyperTerminal.
I made more than 10 Null modem cables, with all the options, but I could not see nothing and I cannot install my mchine.
The explanation of the cable here, I didn't understand so good, albeit that, I make the cable but it didn't work.
Does anybody knows what to do, step by step, or where can I read it?
Thank you very much!
Ilan.

[Pretty much solved] i3 - how can I run terminal application?

Hi everyone. I am newbie at tilling window managers, and I decided to give a try for i3.
Now I faced one problem and I cannot find a solution. for example, I want to run "yaourt-gui", which is terminal application. but when I run dmenu, I choose "yaourt-gui" and when I open it - nothing happens. I believe that i3 somehow uses different terminal which doesn't exist, despite I set terminal to be "terminology" in config file. (I can start terminal with shortcut without any problems.)
If you haven't got the idea - all I want when I run app from dmenu is to run it as terminal -e app, but not just app, which has no GUI.
any ideas?

You'll either need to type "terminology -e whatever" in dmenu, or hack dmenu to detect which programs need a terminal. Dmenu does not do this on it's own - it just runs what you tell it to.
There are instructions in the dmenu hacking thread to do exactly this.
The simplest way if it is only for this one program, just make a script or alias with the following:
terminology -e /usr/bin/whatever
Thanks. You are great.

Backup your user file folders to a external drive and disconnect.
Make sure you have a stable, reliable, fast Internet connection, use Ethernet cable if possible.
Hold Command R and boot from the Lion Recovery Partition, get online in the upper right corner, reinstall Lion, it will simply install Lion again and your bundled programs without touching your files or most all third party programs.

I want to input XON as a command to make sure my GPR will be booting, I did that through hyper terminal and it worked fine, but through lab veiw not sure why it is not working.
That error code indicates you are trying to use events, but have not actually registered for an event. Why are you using the Basic 2 Port example? You should be using the regular Basic Serial Write and Read example. The manual indicates that you need to append a carriage return to the commands. In the Basic Serial Write and Read example you can do so by replacing the "\n" with "\r". Thus, the control should look like this:

Terminal application missing

Hello, I recently installed the 10.6 to my Macbook white 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD. Everything was OK until several days ago I found out that I couldn't open the Terminal app. At first I thought it was just a glitch so I rebooted the macbook but the problem still existed. I checked the Applications folder and it seemed the Terminal app icon became the unknown type icon instead of the black terminal icon. How do I recover the lost Terminal app? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

By any chance did you move the Leopard version outside of the Utilities folder? It sounds like you may have done that but it's unclear from what you have written. You can separately restore lost or delete OS X components and applications as follows:
How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist 2.6.3 from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....
• Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update ..... Default selection
Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

I think my mac was hacked into last night using my Terminal application

Not sure - but I think my mac was hacked into last night when I downloaded the wrong version of handbrake application. I noticed on my screen that my Terminal Application opened and has some "darwin" code in it with my name and a $dollar sign after it. Should I be worried?

If that is your only symptom, I wouldn't be worried.

The terminal application

hello,
does someone know how to use the terminal application on a mac?and what is the point of this application?
thank you

The Terminal application itself is more or less just that, a terminal. It has some nice features about tabs, saving histories, altering its appearance, opening multiple terminals at once, automatically running scripts on open, etc.
However, it's overriding purpose is to provide direct access to the command-line environment of the UNIX operating system that OS X is based on. Through it, you can basically do anything that the computer is capable of, and perform a wide array of tasks for which there's no equivalent in the user interface -- such as modifying unpublished attributes of applications, setting up disk quotas, automating processes, UNIX-style scripting, etc.
If you learn how to use the UNIX shell that you access through Terminal.app, you'll find it's the single most powerful and broadly useful application that comes with our computer.
On the other hand, the computer is perfectly operable without it, and save for the occasional tweak to something now and then, you can probably live quite comfortably without it at all. In that respect, you can consider it a "Power User" tool.

The "Terminal" Application in my Utilities will not start up

The "Terminal" Application in my Utilities will not start up. The icon appears briefly in the dock, then disappears. I have repaired disk permissions from the Leopard installation disk, and have tried logging on as a different user - to no avail. Version is 2.0.2 How can I repair or replace the app? Tks.

Just tried your advice to check Console, but Console crashes right after startup...
You seem to have more problems than just Terminal.
You can view the logs directly in /var/log/system.log
You could use iTerm <http://iterm.sf.net>.
Another approach would be to download TextWranger that can open text files anywhere on your system.
