Disable Crash Dialogs on OS X

You can disable the dialog that looks like "Application XXXX Crashed Unexpectedly" with the commands below.

I use this specifically for running XBMC nightlies on OS X that tend to crash periodically. This will make it so no popup is generated, and all you have to do is press the "menu" key on the Apple remote to start XBMC again.

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist

(yes, both commands are required, lanuchctl behaves differently when invoked as the superuser)

find out what program has focus on os x

dave @ [ bahamas10 :: (Darwin) ] ~ $ osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' -e 'processes whose frontmost is true' -e 'end'
application process Terminal
dave @ [ bahamas10 :: (Darwin) ] ~ $ sleep 2; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' -e 'processes whose frontmost is true' -e 'end'
application process Google Chrome

make a file called file and ensure it does NOT exist in manta

$ echo data > file 
$ mrm ~~/stor/file
mrm: ResourceNotFoundError: /bahamas10/stor/file was not found

try to put the file with if-none-match

drop this into the javascript console on a slack chat to have pastes automatically show up as preformatted text.

var TS_view_submit = TS.view.submit.bind(TS.view); TS.view.submit = function() { var msgInput = document.getElementById('message-input'); if (msgInput.value.indexOf('\n') > -1) msgInput.value = '```\n' + msgInput.value + '\n```'; return TS_view_submit.apply(this, arguments); }
