Hi All,

Sure. "open filename.pdf" or if it needs it "open /Applications/ 
Preview.app filename.pdf"

That'll launch it in OSX's GUI. Of course Preview.app won't run on X,  
but that's not what you want, is it?

and it is a really excellent tool! Using it all the time
now, and use "open ." to launch a finder view of my $PWD

hey all - does anyone know how pass nfs mount options when connecting to
an NFS volume in 10.4?  the issue i'm seeing is that when i connect to a
nfs volume via the finder in 10.4 it defaults to UDP, but i'd like to
use TCP connections.  from a command like i'd do a:
mount_nfs -T server:/export /mnt/point

can't seem to figure out a way to do that via the finder though...

Hey Pete,

To get all the options, I had to use Directory Services. I don't think
you can pass any options in the apple-k finder dialog. You can pass it
all the ... ah fer chrissake... Sorry it's in Netinfo Manager
application which... I don't know why it's two seperate utilities.
Anyway... I think you can only pass options via the shell command you
have below, or from setting it up in /mounts in Netinfo Manager.
If you play with the /etc files you can use the automount.conf and
fstab. But I never got that to work for me.
I'm sure you know all this, but anyway this is all I know about the topic.

Mac OS X also runs amd by default. I find setting up the configs for that is best as it will only try and mount when you try to access it and if you stop accessing it will automatically unmount it for you. This is especially handy on laptops. 

Man amd for more details or have a look here for some good info on:

Well that's Leopard... You can get this effect using the 'net' option
in Tiger. The access-time mounting is cool. It's not so cool when you
have mounted and you lose the connection. It's quite slow to timeout,
but on the good side it's clean and doesn't crash... just get this
dumb message when Finder figures out that the volume's not there
anymore.

In my setup, I went into Netinfo mgr and have the following

/mounts

Property :: Value
name :: raidbox.localdomain:/c/home/jesse
type :: nfs
opts :: net

opts can have multiple values listed under it, for all the
fstab-looking c-s-v options + the mac 'net' option

thanks jesse!  so yea, using netinfo for static mounts works for sure on
our end.  the problem is our current work flow has the users (editors
who are not techincal) mounting nfs volumes via the finder.  static
mounts unfortunalty are not an option due to the sheer number of nfs
volumes we have here...

Hi Robert - thanks for the link!

I'll have to check this out and see if we can write a wrapper for these
guys to take better advantage of the amd.

Subject: [macosx-unix] /usr/bin/cvs missing on 10.5?
Message-ID: <47EC578E.2010405@bertrandtech.ca>

Hi,

I attempted to show one of my students how to use Terminal and ssh to 
connect to the cvs server I maintain for a course I teach (he's a rebel, 
the others use TortoiseCVS on XP). To my surprise, cvs is not in 
/usr/bin on his 10.5 Intel system, unlike my 10.4 PPC. Did they move it?

He's going to download the Developer tools (xcode) to see if it's there. 
Where else would you get it? Darwin ports? Fink?

Thanks
  --Louis

Louis,

I have the same system as you but no CVS by default in /usr/bin.  Many folks
keep it in /CVS or in /CVSROOT, but I prefer to keep it in my own Documents
directory so that it'll be backed up frequently. (I back up my Documents
daily but my entire UNIX system only infrequently.)  Perhaps, --> *
/usr/local/cvsrep*
CVS comes with Mac OS X; so you don't need to install anything new *if
you've installed the programs on the Xcode Tools CD or downloaded Xcode*from
http://developer.apple.com/tools/.

I like SmartCVS the best.

Cheers,
