Getting newlines

defaults domains | sed 's/, /\'$'\n/g'

Will change all ", " to a real new line. Notice the use of a single quote.

Microsoft Office 2008 options

While open office is the way to go, or neooffice for the Mac. Microsoft 2008 Office users should look at: http://www.maclife.com/article/tip_day/office_2008_filecompatibility_tro...

That might save your form data.

Checking disk space

Here is a quick and dirty diskspace script:

#!/bin/bash
ALERT=70
#ssh 10.61.37.176 df -H > /tmp/df.out
df -Hl > /tmp/df.out
cat /tmp/df.out | grep -vE 'Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' \
   | awk '{ print $5 " " $1 " " $6 }' | \
while read output ;
do
    usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1 )
    partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $3 }' )
    if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]
    then
       printf "Running out of space on partition %s \t %g \t %s %s\n" \
          $partition $usep $(hostname) $(date)
    fi
done

Notice the hard coded ALERT level as well as the commented out ssh command.

It needs work, but should show you how little space one has on all mounted drives.

Tomcat integration with Active Directory

For those in a world where IT is based on Microsoft's Active Directory (AD), you might be able to integrate Tomcat with the AD by looking at these links:

Xcode prec-compiled headers cache and branching

http://www.stevestreeting.com/2007/09/19/branches-and-precompiled-header... shows why we should configure each project to have a different path than the defaults.

Google Application Engine Install

Over my lunch I have installed macpython 2.5 and the GoogleApplicationLauncher. We will see what this thing does one day.

Screen capture for the Mac.

http://www.jingproject.com/ is not a product but a project. It seems much like the windows only "snag it". Jing Project is free until it becomes a real product.

This is another one: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ for $69

Nice ISP in Box page

Updated! http://diymacserver.com/ is the updated site.

While we all want to have straight forward instructions on getting an Apache, MySQL and PHP set up on your mac, even a mini. It has been very valuable to me. Many recipes out there, this one hasn't left me re-configuring over and over again.
