To specify additionally: partitions are mounted but hidden. So possible?

Hello, fellow Unixers and Macers,

I'll run several OS X versions each on its own dedicated partition. Partitions won't be seeing each other (by editing fstab). Question: will I be able to copy...

Huge thanks, your explanatory skills are impressive indeed. I went online only now after several days of intensive brainwork I tried to go through on my own and was only astonished that we share the...

Thanks, it was a nice explanation. What about grep -l or grep -L man entries I highlighted? Confusing as hell.

Also, what about -prune? How does it work exactly?


Would you mind finding some...

I thought it was obvious that my system is OS X since Apple icon I sticked to the top of my message and besides I indicated at the bottom that my shell is bash 3.2.48.

I have an app whose bundle...

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I tried your syntax but it failed to do what I wanted. Actually what I passed on my previous post for browser1, browser2, browser3 were all different names: Safari,...

I need to find all files and folders containing keyword from the topmost directory deep down the tree but omitting all references to keyword in web-search logs and entries, i.e. excluding search and...

That's how I ultimately came to the understanding:

That's the problem: I know that instead of {} we could use any other symbol which would stand for the same thing. I know that xargs is essentially a loop that collects collects arguments and makes an...

I'm not sure I got you right: there's absolutely no alleged "language barrier"; why the word "occurrence" caught your eye I didn't get either. That was not some kind of mistyping (which would be a...

I'm sorry, I wasn't here for a very long time thus effectively mismemorizing many things and the forum's very abstract, disorganized cold interface confused me as to where did I find a relevant...

I'm struggling to understand the man page entry about xargs in conjunction with the option -I. It states:



And the description reads:



Am I correct interpreting that as the fact that if...

Hello,
Using Bash on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion). I downloaded a GrowlSafari plugin for Webkit from its GitHub page GitHub - uasi/growl-safari-bridge: GrowlSafariBridge enables arbitrary javascript...

OK, so to set it up I'd like to admit I'm neither computer not programming, let alone UNIX, geek. I'm a dummy, hence all this confusion with used terminology etc. It's possibly that I may've misled...

Not quite. To represent the situation schematically the issue looks smth like this:

1. .bashrc normally is executed every time I open new Terminal window or start a new Terminal session (by...

Hi Don Dragun,
Thank you for such a prompt reply

By predictably I'm saying that in all of the cases when it disappears it usually tends to be gone after some unknown crossed line of reboot...

It deletes my .bashrc file rarely but predictability after some unknown count of Mac's restarts. Has someone ever faced such behavior?

How do I prevent OS X from modifying .bashrc? What...

I'm myself not sure why do I need this, perhaps because of mentioning of .tsv in this tutoring course in a chapter about tr command where it's explained how to turn commas into spaces by utilizing...

Homework? No, I'm learning UNIX for OS X on my own using sources bought online. Didn't have a clue of the dedicated section for homework. Will consider in future, thanx.

I'm a complete beginner in UNIX (and not a computer science student either), just undergoing a tutoring course. Trying to replicate the instructions on my own I directed output of the ls listing...

It's an informational message in verbose mode (-v option) reporting on shell's activity when executing (or failing to execute) commands. Overwrite.txt and overwrite2.txt are the test files I created...

Below are the screenshots of my actions in OS X Terminal. As you see there're no alert messages. I have cat'ed both files beforehand so that their contents became evident. If I pass -n option then...

Yeah, understand that. But my point and question was that if you pass -n option so that your command is designed as

mv -n A B, then nothing happens. Both A and B are untouched so B IS NOT the...

Sorry for a question that may seem dumb but learning UNIX basics I still can not grasp benefits of using
mv -n source file target file

I can understand the need for cp -n source file target...

So far nobody on ASC, nor anywhere was able to respond to my issue and Google wasn't much of help either.

I started to experience the issue some time ago: my OS is Lion 10.7.5. It occurs in all...
