Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers ScreenSaver into Background Question Post 302501758 by Corona688 on Friday 4th of March 2011 04:41:17 PM

/ tells it to go all the way to the root of the disk. You'd have to type the whole thing:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background ...which actually would work, if you wanted to make it all on one line. You wouldn't even need to CD that way, I think.

You need ./ because the shell doesn't run things in the current directory. You have to tell it 'in the current directory' explicitly. This is a security feature (so someone can't drop files in your directory and have you unknowingly run them.)

NAME
CPlusTestRig -- runs CPlusTest unit test bundles SYNOPSIS
CPlusTestRig [-test testname] testbundle DESCRIPTION
CPlusTestRig loads and runs the bundle testbundle containing unit tests built with the CPlusTest framework (/System/Library/Frameworks/CPlus- Test.framework). If one or more [-test testname] pairs is specified only those tests (TestCase and TestSuite instances) in testbundle are run. If no such pairs are specified, all TestCase and TestSuite instances are run as part of the default "All" test suite. CPlusTestRig is intended for testing frameworks and libraries. That is, it must be possible for CPlusTestRig to load testbundle into its own address space. To test applications, use RunUnitTests(1) instead. To test a framework or library in a location other than the one recorded in testbundle at link time, use dyld(1) environment variables such as DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure that the nonstandard location is searched. ENVIRONMENT
CPlusTestDelayExit If this environment variable is present, CPlusTestRig will print its process ID to standard output and delay exit indefi- nitely upon completion. This is useful for running leaks(1) or other debugging tools. FILES
