Nerelda Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Here's a good command, but I don't know how well it works....When the computer won't do what you want, just yell "Bad Computer! BAD!"LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I'd also be really curious to know of a website that has Mac OS X commands. I know some Linux terminal commands. I just got a new shiny eMac at work running OS X, very nice. Put a user account in today, so I'm not running as admin all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcl Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I'd also be really curious to know of a website that has Mac OS X commands.If the whatis database has been built, there's always$ apropos '(1)'I've read some comments indicating that OS X doesn't ship with a whatis database. If not, you can construct one with makewhatis(1), but I don't have the details. (Read the manpage and check in /usr/libexec IIRC.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thank you, jcl, TheLetterK, I'll go check that out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheLetterK Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thank you, jcl, TheLetterK, I'll go check that out Now that I think about it, it might be installed with Fink. I haven't worked with an Os X box that doesn't have Fink installed so I'm not totally sure there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
