Bash Scripts For Mac Os X

 admin

Osx.sh script. When setting up a new Mac, you may want to set OS X defaults geared towards developers. The osx.sh script also configures common third-party apps such Sublime Text and Chrome. Note: I strongly encourage you read through the commented osx.sh source file and tweak any settings based on your personal preferences. The script defaults. /bin/bash/ '-x -e' /path/to/script where '-x -e' is a single argument, making bash choke. Some tools (like env) that are regularly used in shebangs are able to split the single argument. Bash is not one of them. Read a tool’s man page and documentation and test. Jun 14, 2016  The reason OS X has an older version of bash, and why OS X does not include the Linux commands with all the extra options is that many of those programs have a GPL V3 license that explicitly excludes commercial Unix vendors from including them in their operating system distributions, so the commercial Unix companies are stuck with either GPL V2. Jun 13, 2016  About Mac Scripting. Scripting allows you to automate complex, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks by writing scripts that interact with apps, processes, and the operating system. A script consists of a series of statements, each of which performs a specific operation. These statements work together to automate tasks.

License violations[edit]

According to the macOS and OS X software license agreement[1], macOS should only be installed on Apple Mac devices. Neither the editors of this book nor Wikibooks have any liability over the installation of macOS or OS X guests on VirtualBox or any other violations of the software license.

This is against the EULA of apple, doing this article IS considered piracy.
