Change to the subject: the configuration via the mac terminal settings

Hello

I administer more than 140 computers mac, with firefox installed. Unfortunately, it seems like a daily appearance when a user calls and says that firefox is updated, listen to which they can't because they are not administrator accounts.
Now, I use apple remote desktop to turn off auto-updated for many other applications such as software update, microsoft office and adobe. Unfortunately since firefox does not use a standard plist file on mac I can't use default to write preference remotely.
Question: Is there a way to write to the config of firefox via command line, so I can turn off auto-updated mass instead of having to touch to each computer and do change in the GUI?

Thank you!

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.

Place a local file - settings.js in the folder by default/pref where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift

See:

You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

  • Shortcut keys in the Mac Terminal

    I'm changing the keyboard shortcuts in the Mac Terminal app for some functions as select the tab following, selecting the previous tab, and by killing a process. Under system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > shortcuts > App shortcuts > Terminal > + > "Title Menu" > "keyboard shortcut".

    Keyboard shortcut: Menu title

    CTRL-Tab: Select next tab

    CTRL-SHIFT-Tab: Select previous tab

    ⌘C: kill the process/demolition/KeyboardInterrupt

    None of them have worked. I guess the problem is the offset of the menu title. How can I get the title of exact menu used for functions?

    OS: Mac OS X El Capitan

    I was able to get Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab using the language you specified.  Extra spaces and exact capitalization, etc...

    I don't know where you saw "kill the process/demolition/KeyboardInterrupt" as a menu item.  I looked and it was not found.

    + Command + C is also the global copy selected text.  You can remap it, but I don't know which menu you were seeking "kill the process/demolition/KeyboardInterrupt.  Maybe a screenshot.

    Of course it makes me wonder why Ctrl-C (standard on all the Unix platforms to kill the current order) is more difficult than the command-c to use to kill the current process.  You are ready to use control during the passage of the tabs, but does not kill a process?

    Other thoughts.  You have all kinds of other software mapping of the keys installed that would interfere with your maps?

  • Call a script .bat in Windows since the Mac Terminal

    I try to call a batch script that I have in my VM Windows Terminal on the Mac side.  Using vmrun that I am able to access the virtual machine and run the .bat file, but for some reason, he doesn't get the location of the file specified in the script (the script works fine when run directly in the virtual machine).  This implies that where the .bat is running when it is called terminal is not the actual location of the file on the computer Windows .bat, because it would when run manually inside the virtual Windows machine.  Can someone please help me solve this problem?

    The batch script will run in the guest by a programme of work which the directory will not necessarily be the directory that contains the script. Then, you should use absolute paths in the script, or enter the path to the script as an argument to the script and use it in the script to find other files.

  • Cannot make changes to the parents control settings (Windows 7)

    I've seen several comments regarding this same problem, but so far no solution.

    I am the administrator, but I get an error when I try to access the parent on standard accounts control settings.  Now, what's even weirder, is that I am able to access ONE of the standard accounts, and there is nothing different between this account and others.

    I have tried all the solutions already posted:

    -running 'services.msc' and the implementation of parent controls (which is said by the way, says "this service is a stub for of Windows Parental control feature that existed in Vista", which is strange, it's as if there's no 'Parental control' in Windows 7?);

    -create a new administrator account via the control panel (in the case where my administrator account is corrupt), by restarting and trying to put Parental controls

    -create a new administrator account using the command prompt "net user administrator / Active: Yes";

    -in the course of running "sfc/scannow".

    (By the way, I leave here the 'answer' who said that this question should be asked on the support forum for Windows Live, if you search on this forum, you will find that the 'response' they provide is to ask the question on the Windows support forum.  ;)

    ANY OTHER IDEAS?

    Did you you run regedit as an administrator? It is a common problem in trying just new values. This is done by right-clicking on the program and selecting "Run as Administrator". This allows you to write new values.

    If you would like more information on this subject by me, read the last post on page 3 here:
    If you have recently encountered this problem, I would recommend a system restore, and I explain the reasons in the tread above.

  • Random changes to the power Plan settings

    Separated from this thread.

    I'm having a similar problem. I have my laptop the value never turn off the screen, never sleep, never stop, but it is up to turn off the display after 20 minutes. Not that it's tremendously life-changing, but I want my settings to be more aggressive. I chose never, never, I want to

    Only a program runs with administrative privileges can adjust these settings, so I would like to make sure that your user account control is enabled and monitor everything that requires elevation of privilege.  After you make the changes and click on "Save Changes", go back and make sure that the value is there and monitor when it changes to identify the program that made the change.

  • Change the mac address live vm

    Hello

    I installed a vcenter and migrated all the object from the old to the new, and I imported my dvswitch. After a problem due to the import, I migrated all the VM on dvswitch to a new, and I used code powercli to assign the new portgroup below:

    Function Set-dvSwitch {}

    Param ($vmName, $dvPG) # two parameters.

    $nic = "Network adapter 1" change in # this line if you want to change the NIC 2

    # Find the NETWORK card

    $vm = get - VM $vmName | Get-View

    foreach ($tempdev in $vm. Config.Hardware.Device) {}

    if($tempdev.) DeviceInfo.Label - eq $nic) {}

    $tgtdev = $tempdev

    }

    }

    # Find the dvSwitch & dvPortGroup

    $esx is get-view-Id $vm. Runtime.Host

    {foreach ($netMoRef to $esx.Network)}

    If {($netMoRef.Type-eq "DistributedVirtualPortGroup")}

    $net = get-view-Id $netMoRef

    if($net.) {Name - eq $dvPg)}

    $dvPGKey = $net. MoRef.Value

    $dvSwitchUuid = (get-View-Id $net.) Config.DistributedVirtualSwitch). Summary.Uuid

    }

    }

    }

    # Prepare Spec

    $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

    $devChange = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

    $devChange.operation = "Edit."

    $dev = new Object ("VMware.Vim" + $tgtdev. GetType(). Name)

    $dev.deviceInfo = new-Object VMware.Vim.Description

    $dev.deviceInfo.label = $tgtdev. DeviceInfo.Label

    $dev.deviceInfo.summary = $tgtdev. DeviceInfo.Summary

    $dev. Backup = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo

    $dev. Backing.Port = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection

    $dev. Backing.Port.PortgroupKey = $dvPGKey

    $dev. Backing.Port.SwitchUuid = $dvSwitchUuid

    $dev. Key = $tgtdev. Key

    $devChange.Device = $dev

    $spec.deviceChange = $devChange

    $taskMoRef = $vm. ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

    }

    It does the job, but he has changed all the MAC of my virtual machine. Currently, I have around 400VM with a MAC OS and another MAC on the side of vmware.

    The code above has changed vm MAC I would configure the old MAC on the vm side to avoid reboot all my VM.

    If anyone knows how to do this, it will save me.

    Thank you

    It should work, tested several times without problem (if your VM 1 nic, you need to identify that one to change to another)

    $thisAdapter = get-NetworkAdapter - Vm Test123

    $thisAdapter.ExtensionData.AddressType = "manual".

    $thisAdapter.ExtensionData.MacAddress = "00:40:16:96:0 d: 94.

    Together-NetworkAdapter $thisAdapter - confirm: $false

  • I can not change / set the smtp password.

    T - bird 24.5.0 running. On Ubuntu 10.04. There seems to be no way to change/set the password. Here is an overview of the screen indicating a change of account: http://k4gvo.com/images/smtp.png I don't see a way to set/change the password and an exhaustive search of the other menus, including the configuration editor has not helped. For some reason, probably because of an automatic update, he ceased to send emails. I manually installed 24 to see if that helped, but it didn't. This profile/account is probably 5 or more years so there is probably something in the profile that is the pipe upwards. I tried to add a new e-mail account so I could put the server by default to it but it won't let me. He went through all the motions, but when I look in the list of accounts, it isn't here.

    I created a new user account on the system and it I would like to create a usable smtp profile without change it however.

    I'd start on if I can save emails, however when I tried to copy the Mail / directories < account > to another user to test, they never came.

    Thank you
    Jim.

    Setting are OK because I used the same settings on a different system and it works fine. Also, using the same user/pw I receive mail fine, just can't send.
