  8. man dscl NAME dscl -- Directory Service command line utility SYNOPSIS dscl [options] [datasource [command]] options: -p prompt for password -u user authenticate as user -P password authentication password -raw don't strip off prefix from DirectoryService API constants -url print record attribute values in URL-style encod- ing -q quiet - no interactive prompt

  9. man -k uuidapropos uuid mbr_uid_to_uuid(3), mbr_gid_to_uuid(3), mbr_uuid_to_id(3), mbr_sid_to_uuid(3), mbr_uuid_to_sid(3) - translate user and group identifiers from one form to another uuid(3) - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library uuid_clear(3) - reset value of UUID variable to the NULL value uuid_compare(3) - compare whether two UUIDs are the same uuid_copy(3) - copy a UUID value uuid_generate(3), uuid_generate_random(3), uuid_generate_time(3) - create a new unique UUID value uuid_is_null(3) - compare the value of the UUID to the NULL value uuid_parse(3) - convert an input UUID string into binary representation uuid_unparse(3) - convert an UUID from binary representation to a string uuidgen(1) - command-line utility to generate a new UUID value

  10. Environment Variables • printenv = print out the environment • HOME, USER • PWD, OLDPWD • PATH

  11. Configuring Your Prompt PS1='\h:\w \u\$ ' Scott-Russells-iBook-G4:/etc srussel2$ \h = hostname to the first “.” \w = present working directory \u = current user http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html

  12. Handful of BASH Utils • bbman -- converts man pages to plain text and opens them in your favorite text editor • smb.sh -- mount NetFile drives using mount_smbfs • touchx -- creates a new executable with boilerplate text in a default folder and opens it for editing http://www.nd.edu/~srussel2/macintosh/bash/
