tools-osx 2011-06-02 ¬
2011-06-02
I’ve updated my collection of Mac OS X command line tools with improvements to the trash tool:
trashcan now list trash contents across all volumes (with a disk usage total) as well as empty the trash (including a secure empty option; both emptying operations require confirmation).
Note: Obviously, the new version of trash is now destructive. I have tested and use this myself, but I cannot guarantee it won’t securely erase your entire hard drive if it encounters some odd edge case and I cannot be held responsible for that. So, use at your own risk and keep backups!
Go download them all (clipcat, eject, swuser, and trash) or get the source code on github!

2011-02-25
There’s been a small addition to my collection of Mac OS X command line tools:
swusergives you control of Mac OS X’s Fast User Switching from the command line, including options for switching to login window, user by name, or user by ID. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible withscreen.
Go download them all (clipcat, eject, swuser, and trash) or get the source code on github!
tools-osx 2010-12-08 ¬
2010-12-09
I’ve got a new release of my collection of Mac OS X command line tools for you, including:
trashcorrectly increments filenames (à la Finder) if the same filename already exists in your Trash instead of complaining that the file already exists. It also has a teensiest bit more logic regarding trash on the boot volume vs. other volumes.ejectnow supports ejecting mounted network volumes and includes a-foption to force a stubborn volume to eject (to be used only in extreme cases).clipcatis a new addition, submitted by David Kendal, which allows printing & concatenating of Text Clippings!
Go ahead and download them or grab the source code on github!
Announcing tools-osx ¬
2010-10-26
Ever since Mac OS X was released, I’ve found myself working via the command line more and more every year. While there are some native commands like open, pbcopy, and pbpaste with NeXTSTEP roots which help one switch back and forth between the CLI & GUI, I’ve always found a few gaping holes.
Over the last few days, while learning git and playing with github, I’ve grabbed two of the bash scripts I’ve managed to keep ahold of through many a hard drive since 2007: eject & trash. They’ve been polished up a bit and are now part of a collection named tools-osx which I’ll be adding to as I fill empty spaces in my Mac OS X command line toolbox.
Go ahead and download them or grab the source code on github!
'WebPositive emerges' ¬
2010-03-03
The first official build of WebPositive for Haiku is now out. Tthe primary developer, stippi:
I’ve been working fulltime on WebPositive, often from ninish in the morning to about midnight, with some pauses in between of course. Except for missing bookmark support and an almost useless browsing history menu (because seemingly unsorted), WebPositive has become quite usable[.]
I concur, even without bookmark support, cacheing, and a number of other features, it’s faster and friendlier than BeZilla.
'Diving into WebKit' ¬
2010-02-26
It looks like the Haiku OS port of WebKit has gotten some serious traction as of late. We should be seeing WebPositive in the near future.
I pull up Haiku in VMWare Fusion on a more regular basis these days and a good browser is exactly what it needs at this point.
Oh, the BeOS nostalgia!
"Google Chrome" Comic Book ¬
2008-09-02
I find it brilliant that Google went the route of a comic book to introduce and explain their new web browser project: Google Chrome.
The Windows beta is set to be released today. Hopefully it won’t remain in persistent beta state like so many of their projects.
Update: now linking to the official comic, not the scanned copy.

Sysmon Startup Item with Leopard Launchd Support ¬
2008-08-20
I’ve been sitting on, and tweaking infrequently, a launchd plist for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (and Server, of course) for launching the Sysmon daemon at boot and keeping it running. Well, it’s time to release it out into the wild, so without further ado:
This is an update to my Sysmon StartupItem in that I’ve rewritten the install script to install either the StartupItem or the launchd plist file where appropriate (utilizing the little trick I wrote about a few days ago), plus updates to the documentation and such. It should support Panther & Tiger via the StartupItem and Leopard via the launchd plist. Of course, more details and previous versions can be found on the Development page.
Let me know how it goes if you use it.
