Hello,
I have been a Macintosh user for many, many years. As you may know the latest MacOS ( OS X ) is UNIX based. (Please see http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/inside.html for more information.) Basically, I really have no idea where to start with UNIX...if anyone could take a quick look at the above link and tell me what I need to look into so that I may use this new OS to its fullest potential.
I have heard so much good stuff about UNIX users (especially the part about not getting into wars about who's operating system is the best...I guess you already know...) and would be proud to join.
Thank you all,
Mark
PS At an old job (NORTEL) I used what may have been a type of UNIX...it was called QNX so maybe that will help. Of course NORTEL moved over to Windows and things really went into the crapper!!!

StartupItemContext(8) BSD System Manager's Manual StartupItemContext(8) NAME
StartupItemContext -- Execute a program in StartupItem context SYNOPSIS
StartupItemContext [program [arguments]] DESCRIPTION
The StartupItemContext utility launches the specified program in StartupItem bootstrap context. Each Darwin and Mac OS X login creates a unique bootstrap subset context to contain login specific Mach port registrations with the bootstrap server. All such registrations per- formed within the context of that subset are only visible to other processes within that context or subsequent subsets of it. Therefore, a Mach port based service/daemon launched within a login context will not be visible to other such contexts. To override this, a root user can use the StartupItemContext utility to launch the program within the same bootstrap context as all other StartupItems. All subsequent Mach port bootstrap registrations perfomed by the program will be visible system-wide. NOTES
All bootstrap port lookups will also be resticted to the StartupItem context. The services provided on a per-login basis (clipboard, etc...) will not be available to the program. SEE ALSO
