What is the terminal command to list USB devices?

In Ubuntu Linux the command lsusb lists all devices connected to the usb ports. What is the equivalent command in OS-X? Thanks.

Linc:
Thanks. The new thread, if you want to comment on it is:
Activate/Deactivate USB connected device
If I am able to deactivate or unattach or disable the driver that is responsible for controlling the usb web cam that I have in my Mac mini, the virtualization program (VBox) would be able to capture it (already configured with the appropriate filter) for my guest OS. Now, I only get a message saying that the camera is busy from a previous request.
When I run your command, I get no response.

What are the terminal commands to list all plugins, extensions, etc?

I remember a while ago reading a thread on diagnosing kernel panics and such, where someone listed a number of commands (I think there were four separate terminal commands) which produced lists of plugins, daemons, background enhancers, extensions etc which could sap resources or drive up temperature without necessarily showing up in activity monitor or anything like that.
Anyone know what these commands are? I'm having some serious overheating problems at the moment when doing nothing but for instance watching a youtube video with no other processes running so I'd like to get these dumps and see if there's anything installed which could be causing trouble.

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.

What's the terminal command to reindex mail?

Hi all!
I have a corrupt POP mailbox (among a dozen or so active accounts I check with mail). Using the "rebuild" command simply loses all but the past few days of messages. Trashing the envelope files in my library file and forcing a reindex has the same effect -- I lose all but a couple of days worth of messages.
I have seen, in pre-Lion postings, references to using this command in terminal to fix a corrupt mailbox:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;
But I am not sure that the syntax is correct, given that the subdirectories of the ~/Library/Mail folder were changed in Lion.
Does anyone have the correct syntax for this?
Any other help tips and suggestions would also be appreciated. The problem appears to affect only the inbox for one of my many accounts.
Thanks for any help!

What is the Terminal command to determine whether booted in 32 or 64 bit mode?

I understand some newer computers are using the 64 bit kernel by default: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770
How do I determine via the command line whether I'm booted in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode?

To make your Mac always start up 64 bit the only thing necessary is to alter one line of a configuration file. You can do that by opening the Terminal and entering:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot 'Kernel Flags' 'arch=x86_64'
To return to 32 bit mode, you would repeat the command but enter an empty string, which would just be the single quotes (where arch=x86_64 is) with nothing in between.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot 'Kernel Flags' ''

What is the terminal command in OS X SL for enabling my touchpad?

When I boot into the install disc I can use the terminal, but not the touchpad. I can't get past the choosing of a hard disk w/o using my touchpad. Thanks!

If your touchpad is not working in the installer, it is Broke!
The Installer software is an incorruptible, "one size fits all" software, provided you are using an Installer appropriate for your Mac.
Installer Software older than the version that was on your Mac when it was new will not work.
Installer Software for a different Mac will not work because it will not contain drivers for your Hardware.

What's the terminal command to insert the text that appears when I send mail to Bcc addresses?

I remember there was a cool add-on to some mail clients like Eudora years back where one could juggle the text that people receive instead of the addresses if you send mail in Bcc... Is there any possibility to change what Apple Mail sends?
What if, insetad of the usual "undisclosed recipients" I want something else like "omissis" to appear?

(1) you can't insert a sheet in Pages. Only tables !
(2) before pasting your table in Pages, you may resize it so that it may fit in a page.
(3) the users which took time to look in Pages User Guide are aware of a feature described as : Linking Text Boxes.
It's a good answer to your problem.
In a Word Processor document, create a text box and paste your table in the new tex box.
At the bottom of the box you will see a small square with a symbol plus. It's a flag warning you that the box contents is too large for the box.
No problem, insert a page break to force the opening of a new page then read carefully the user guide :
Applying what I highlighted, you will create a new box linked to the first one so that your table will flow in it.
If it's not sufficient, you may link a third box …
More, we are allowed to rotate the text boxes so you may edit them a way allowing them to host your landscape table.
From my user's point of view, it's absolutely intuitive.

What's The Terminal Command To Find Apache Log Files?

I can't find it anywhere.
Thank you.

It looks like either:
$ grep ErrorLog /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/error_log"
or
/usr/sbin/apachectl -V | egrep 'HTTPD_ROOT|ERRORLOG'
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr"
-D DEFAULTERRORLOG="logs/errorlog"
Though red_menace probably knows better that I.

What is the SQL command to list all tables in a access database(mdb)

hi everyone
can anybody tell me
how to retreive and display total number of tables or total table name
in a particular database in jsp page
thank you .

I dont think you can count the number of tables, maybe you mean number of rows in a table..If so, you need to make a method in your class and query to your database. Something like this:
String count = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMPLOYEES";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(count);
int rsInt = rs.getInt(1);The value of rsInt will result to the number of your tables.

What are all the 'Terminal' Commands?

I use Terminal for fun with the commands and the killall argument command but i really want to know all the terminal commands so that i am not that bored. I always use the commands i know but they are getting old so please help.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Andrew.

The commands are be scattered around the hd. A command is any file with the execution bit set on.
The best way to go is to go to your local library and find any book on unix or bash. There will be some difference between what you read and what is available in X. the man command should key you in on the differences.
A book on Bash would be helpful.
Here is the book that I use:
Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))
This is also good & was in my local library.
Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, A (2nd Edition) [Paperback] the book Don't be fooled by the name, the second addition includes Mac OS X.
Advanced Bash Script. premise: Examples for everything. I have revision 6.2.
tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf
BASH Programming - Introduction HOW-TO
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html#toc14
Apple administrative commands
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/IntroCommandLine_v10.6.pdf
Apple Shell Scripting Primer
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/OpenSource/Conceptual/Shel lScripting/ShellScripting.pdf
Check you local library. Any book on Bash syntax will do. There will be minor differences but they will not be great.
Sometimes you can get a good deal on used books in Amazon.

TS4123 So what if the only Winsock Provider listed is the Bonjour Namespace Provider?

AppleMobileDeviceService.exe is constantly hogging one CPU on my machine. I've tried the Winsock command line reset (netsh winsock reset) and that seemed to work for awhile. Then the problem reappears.
I've tried stopping/starting or restarting the processes via the MS Services interface, and again, this resolves the issue temporarily. I've also, mostly out of frustration, stopped the process manually. Always comes back.
I've taken a look at Apple's suggestion (TS4123) which implies that their is some sort of conflict with another program. Back to my initial question:
So what if the only Winsock Provider listed is the Bonjour Namespace Provider?
Overall, at this point, I have to agree with the vast majority of users who are capable of both recognizing that this is a problem and troubleshooting it to this point: This is an Apple problem and it needs to be fixed by Apple, not passed off as a conflict from some other program that is "doing something wrong" in the eyes of Apple.
My next step is to continue troubleshooting on my own to come up with a workaround solution that doesn't require me resetting winsock or killing multiple processes every day in order to use a processor that shouldn't be taken hostage to begin with.
Has anyone out there explored the onset of this problem (I've seen iTunes 10.5) in relation to updating devices via WiFi network (also iTunes 10.5 feature add?).
I'm going to start by there and disable updating of all devices over WiFi to see if that prevents the CPU hogging. Hopefully that's not it, because that sure is a great feature.
As a Mac user since 1985 and a M$ programmer for more than a decade, this is an extremely disappointing problem and one that should be an easy fix considering the resources AAPL manages to accrue.

Nevermind.
Further review indicates that two up to date (iOS 6.1.4, Build 10B350) as of 7pm CST 7/2/2013 still causing AppleMobileDeviceService.exe to peg one processor at 100%.
Going to turn off "Sync with this iPhone over WIFI" for both phones and see if that does it.
Shameful really.
Edit: iTunes up to date with 11.0.4.4
