spindump(8) BSD System Manager's Manual spindump(8)NAME
spindump -- Profile entire system during a time interval
SYNOPSIS
spindump [pid | partial-name [duration [interval]]] [-file path] [-wait] [-findDsyms] [-delayOnSignal seconds]
DESCRIPTION
spindump is used by various system components to create reports when an unresponsive application is force quit. Reports are stored at:
/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
For normal application force quits spindump will display a dialog to offer the choice to view more details and/or send a report to Apple.
-------------------------------------
When run manually, spindump samples user and kernel stacks for every process in the system.
The process with the matching pid or partial-name will be sorted topmost in the report, if specified. "-notarget" may be used to avoid pro-
viding a target process when specifying a duration and interval.
duration is the duration of the sampling in seconds. If not specified, the default of 10 seconds is used.
interval is the number of miliseconds between samples. If not specified, the default of 10 miliseconds is used.
The -file argument specifies where the report should be written. If path is a file, it will be overwritten. If path is a directory, a file
will be created inside that directory with the name following the format <appname>_<pid>.spindump.txt. If a file by that name already exists,
spindump will add a unique number to the filename. If not specified, spindump will output reports to files inside /tmp.
The -wait flag tells spindump to wait for the process to exist before sampling. If the process already exists, spindump will begin sampling
immediately.
The -findDsyms flag tells spindump to use spotlight to find dsyms for use during symbolication.
The -delayOnSignal argument tells spindump to wait seconds seconds after receiving a signal before exiting.

For those interested in installing dash shell on OSX Lion to help test POSIX compliancy of shell scripts, it is quite easy. I did it like this:

Hi folks yet another bizarre piece of code that is Apple OSX 10.12.x to at least 10.14.1 specific.
It requires only a default OSX install, and the internal microphone along with an external headphone assembly.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:
12FX009:5 dpontius$ ls

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:
Passing perl variable to shell command

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
Machine: MBP OSX 10.14.3, default bash terminal, calling '#!/usr/local/bin/dash'...
This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
