Homebrew-installed Python with pyobjc-core and pyobjc
I use Homebrew and wanted to install pip for mercurial. Pip requires a homebrew-installed version of Python, which is fine and dandy; however, I noticed that webkit2png was broken after I installed Python with Homebrew (it was missing pyobjc libs, which comes with the OS X Python install by default).
This assumes that the current homebrewed version of Python is 2.7.1 and that homebrew is set up for /usr/local. If that's not the case, you may have to change the minor version of setuptools (e.g. from 2.7 to 2.8) and change the PATH accordingly.
$ brew install python
Modify your PATH to include the path to Python's bin directory:
export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Endpoint Security VPN FULL start/stop script for Mac OS X
#!/bin/bash
#
# The reason of creating this script is that Endpoint Security VPN installs it's own application firewall kext cpfw.kext
# which prevents for example PPTP connections from this computer, which is not appropriate if you need subj connection just
# from time to time
#
# Usage: ./checkpoint.sh
#
# The script checks if Enpoint Security VPN is running. If it is, then it shuts it down, if it is not, it fires it up.
# Or, make an Automator action and paste the script.

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
