Mac 10.6.6
(This is just hobby/personal use. I'm on a mac (10.6.6). I have been strictly Windows since 3.1 and I'm trying to get more familiar with what my mac is able to do. I know i'm able to open the terminal app and interface using unix commands, but I don't really know unix at all. I know there's tons of apps for macs to do simple things but are just wasting space and processing so I figured, I might as well learn the OS because that should cover about 90% of those apps. I don't prefer wasting system resources either, so I want to get optimal use out of my system. I really dig apps that use the system properly, and cleverly, rather than rewriting functions to do what's already available thru calling system commands.)

methyl: thanks for the reply. I was playing around with shell scripting trying to figure it out. I was under the impression that I could call unix commands like I would call functions in a oop language, then pipe commands together to get like a variable out of the output, then feed that into some other unix command. Am I looking at this the wrong way?

i.e. in the shell:

command (feed result to) search_for_result_from_previous_command (feed result to) echo_to_standard_output

You can do this sort of thing with unix, right? Because I can imagine endless possibilities with a system like this.

mono-asp-apps(1)						   User Commands						  mono-asp-apps(1)

NAME

       mono-asp-apps - utility to manage ASP.NET 2.0 applications installed from RPMs

SYNOPSIS

       mono-asp-apps command [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  'mono-asp-apps'  command is useful on systems which install applications from RPM packages and when the RPM packages have been created
       according to the Mono RPM packaging guidelines for ASP.NET applications.

       The utility allows one to initialize, enable, disable and start installed applications.	Note that you do not use this  utility	to  manage
       applications hosted and managed by the Apache (or other) web server, only by xsp.

       Note  that  this  utility is useful only on systems where at least one application packaged according to the Mono ASP.NET 2.0 RPM packaging
       guidelines has been installed.

COMMANDS

       The commands which take an application name, require the it to be one of the registered names. See the `list` command below.

       init APPLICATION_NAME
	      Initializes the application named APPLICATION_NAME, if it hasn't been done already.  Initialization actions performed  are  applica-
	      tion specific, but may include creating databases and populating them, creating directories, downloading files etc.

       enable APPLICATION_NAME
	      Enables APPLICATION_NAME for automatic start when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.

       disable APPLICATION_NAME
	      Disables APPLICATION_NAME, so that it is not started automatically when XSP is started as part of the system bootup process.

       start APPLICATION_NAME [server_options]
	      Manually	starts	the  xsp2  process passing the configuration of APPLICATION_NAME to the xsp2 process. Applications may ship with a
	      bundled start script which will be used instead of xsp2 if present. server_options are passed verbatim to the server process.

       list   Lists all the applications known to the utility.
