Hello,
first of all, I want to make myself clear about my language. I'm brazilian, so I ask you all to understand if i commit any mistake with the grammar.
Here is the problem.
Some days ago I needed to use a "sh" command in the Terminal (I use a Mac OSX 10.5.6) followed by a file containing the following text:
if [ "$(grep -o blablabla.blabla.com /etc/hosts)" = "blablabla.blabla.com" ];
then exit 0
else
echo "127.0.0.1 blablabla.blabla.com" >> /etc/hosts
exit 0
fi
I executed this, reeboted my computer imediately after this execution and everything worked well since then, even to User or Admin (or root, as you prefer). But crazily, a couple of days after this execution, my Mac rebooted automaticaly and the User account could not access the internet anymore.
I mean: The Admin acount still works properly, but the User account, when the user is required to make any kind of login (e.g. enter in a e-mail, log in MSN, log in Gmail), the connection fails and, says that I should ask for some help. =P
I read all kinds of information and it seems so difficult for me, once I'm not a programmer or anything like that.
Please, could you show me how to solve this problem?
Really thank you all in advance,
AnubisBR
P.S. 1: the "blablabla" in the command text is just a example of url, because the real one doesn't matches here in the context.
P.S. 2: can anyone explain me what "sh", "grep -o" and "echo" mean/do? I mean, in a easy way which I can understand.
P.S. 3: is this problem/thing "undoable"?
