Terminal command for opening Safari fullscreen by default?

Not fullscreen per day, but maxed out so I can still see the menu bar. Or at least to open with a bit more padding? Safari generally does a good job, but every now and then I'd like my window a bit larger.

Champ, it doesn't seem like you are trying to be very helpful at all, maybe stay out of this discussion. I'm after a solution to a very specific problem which I'm quite certain is some sort of bug. Many other users have reported the same issue..

Hi,
This is not possible in WD. That is because you cannot trigger anything on the client side in WD.

Terminal command for tabs to open in same window

anyone know the terminal command to have all links open in tabs instead of a new window - why does mac call it tabs when it does not even actually work - any help would be great - i had the command and i deleted it......driving me nuts

Greetings,
There is no such command; there is a command to force targeted links to open in new tabs, but it will have no effect on links that are controlled by JavaScript. Open Terminal and enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClickCreateTabs -bool true
press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal and restart Safari.

Terminal command for Folder List?

What is the command line for Terminal to print out a list of folders on my HD? It doesn't have to actually send the result to my printer. I would happy with just a list on the screen.

Open Firefox and drag the folder into its open window. You'll get this type of presentation:
You can print the Firefox window. Much easier than messing with the Terminal (especially for those of us that are terminally challenged )

Terminal Commands for Identifying Apps as 32-Bit, 64-Bit, or Both

I posted a prior topic on this matter, but cannot find it. I have seen these what I am asking about, but can't locate them. I am trying to identify the terminal commands noted in my subject.

This is what I was looking for:
In terminal, type: file /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
What is returned is below. The second/third line identifies Safari as a universal binary with two architectures. The fourth/fifth line identifies the architectures as 32 bit and 64 bit. I am not sure what the sixth/seventh line does unless it identifies Safari as being compatible with PowerPC.
xxxx-MacBook-Pro:~ donv1$ file /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: Mach-O universal binary with 2
architectures
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture x86_64):
Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture i386): Mach-O
executable i386
For any wondering. If SL is started in 64-bit kernel mode, then it will run Safari as a 64-bit program. The same will happen if SL is started in 32-bit mode. Leopard also will run Safari as a 64-bit program. Suppose one has a purely 64-bit program. The same things will happen. Note also that some 32-bit programs will run in 64-bit mode, and, at least in some cases, they will run faster in 64-bit mode. On the other hand, some 32-bit programs will not run in 64-bit mode.
Thus, at this time, the benefits from being able to start in 64-bit mode are minimal. That is, one might be able to run some 32-bit programs slightly faster than in 32-bit mode. On the other hand, this minor benefit would, IMO, be offset by not being able to run certain 32-bit or 64-bit programs simultaneously. I'll be sticking with 32-bit mode.
If there currently is more to the story than I have told, then please pile on. I am always interested in avoiding misinformation.

AS Linc says, RAM disks are of limited value, and just take memory away from file system caching (all that inactive memory is the file system cache)
But if you want to do this, either use an Automator -> Run Shell Script (easy to create, free, and a Google search will give lots of examples), or Download "Platypus" <http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus>, and use it to create an application wrapper around your script.
Both approaches do not require Terminal when they run, and can be dropped into your system preferences -> Users & Groups -> login items.
It is also possible to create a launchd .plist and have your script run that way. Note: if you need to run the script as a privileged user, then launchd may be your only option. "Lingon" maybe able able to help if that is the case.
Have fun.

Applescript to run terminal command then open application..

Hey,
I've installed the add-on to make the Lion Finder sidebar icons colored again, but whenever I reboot my Mac, I have to execute a killall Finder to get those icons back. This also closes TotalFinder, which is an addon I use. So, I want to write an AppleScript which will run on startup, and do those two things: run the Terminal command, and then open TotalFinder.
I've written:
tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "killall Finder" in front window
    quit
end tell
tell application "TotalFinder"
    activate
end tell
This gives me an error stating "Connection is invalid." when running the activate line for TotalFinder. The Terminal command is executed correctly. Any idea why this is? The application is definitely named correctly, its just in my root Applications directory so it should be able to find it, etc. How can I get this working?
Thanks!

try this:
do shell script "killall Finder"
tell application "TotalFinder"
          try
activate
          end try
end tell
First thing you don't need to open a terminal window to do the killall you can just do to as a shell script.
Second don't know why TotalFinder gives that message about Connection invalid but it doesn;t seem to affect it any. So putting in the try just eats the error message.
Ypu may not even need the killall, When TotalFinder starts it restarts the Finder so you may be able to remove the killall

Terminal Commands for Internet Connect VPN?

I could maybe do this as an applescript but I'm hoping there are terminal commands which I can incorporate into an rsync script...
I need to open a PPTP VPN connection on a computer (Internet Connect VPN client, 10.4.8) , to connect to VPN services on OS X Server (10.4.8). The configuration works fine but really needs manual intervention at times. I would like to just script the equivalent of hitting the 'connect' button, so this can be run by cron.
Any ideas or links?
Ta.
-david

I did repair permissions with disk Utility and I used Onyx to delete the various caches, but that didn't work.
Everything is functioning. The problem isn't on the VPN server side, because I can log into the VPN on my Powerbook and the status shows correctly. There's definitely something going on with my G5.
This isn't a really huge deal, but it would be nice if the status indicated that I'm connected when I'm connected.

What Is The Terminal Command For PRAM & SMC Reset?

Hi Folks - Cant get my Macbook Pro to shut down (instead it does a re-start) thus the key combination for these re-sets doesnt seem to function (no chimes). I saw in another thread a terminal command entry "sudo nvram boot-args=”-p -r” but I also saw it mentioned that entering that casued the following to pop-up "Note that resetting the PRAM will wipe out the contents of the boot-args environment variable, which means the command would need to be reissued each startup." Whats with "reissued each startup"? Also would like a an SMC re-set command. THANKS in advance!

I dont know of a terminal command but here is how to reset the SMC:
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Terminal command for sata link speed?

OS10.6.7. MBP 5.3 with 256GB SSD.
Since the "negotiated link speed" for the SSD is 3 GB/s most of the time, it varies from 3 GB/s to 1.5 GB/s once in a while. Is there a terminal command to "force" the SSD to always connect with a "negotiated link speed" of 3GB/s??
<Edited by Host>

If you "force" it, then you aren't "negotiating". I suggest letting it work the way it wants. You already get faster speed with that than most of us regular people could imagine.

Terminal Command for "Folders On Top" in Mountain Lion

Looking for a terminal Command that will place all "Folders On Top", even in sub-folders. The utility I was using on Lion does'nt work on ML anymore.

Looks like to me there has been a recent update to TotalFinder. Claims to support 10.8, now. See
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33373/totalfinder
I misunderstood your questions. I thought you wanted to display the files in the Terminal. You want to change the way the finder displays files.

Terminal Commands for Bluetooth?

Hello,
When looking at my system settings via the System Info function, I learn that there is a discrepancy between the actuall settings and whatever I belive is going on based on the System Preferences window.

(My post didn't show up in it's entirety. Here is my complete post)
Hello,
When looking at my system settings via the System Info function, I learn that there is a discrepancy between the actual settings and whatever I believe is going on based on the System Preferences window.
I have shut down all Bluetooth functionality using System Preferences, a I have disabled Bluetooth in the network settings. When viewing System Info, Bluetooth is enabled, live and well with specific custom settings. Does anyone know of a Terminal command(s) to shut down and prevent Bluetooth from working (I'm mainly concerned with file sharing but would like to shut down all functionality.
Also, the same for the Airport as well.
Danke
