2 days ago The output will display the current mode of hibernation. Since macOS has multiple types, we need to verify that the right one is set. A value of 25 is what is required. Monodraw is designed for the Mac from the ground up – everything from the text layout engine to the interface is made to take advantage of macOS. Like all native apps, it just works the way you expect. When you make a mistake, undo is always ready to come to the rescue. 2 hours ago Hi, It’s time for me to get a new display and I’d like some advice please. I have a PC which can output up to 4K, but I also have a 2011 Mac Mini with SSD, 16GB RAM and AMD graphics, which is actually still very usable (putting aside boot issues). I can output 2560 x 1600 from the Mac via. Using the Console on macOS Sierra and later. Open the Console application (from the Utilities folder inside your Applications folder). Click the leftmost button in the toolbar to show the sidebar, if it’s hidden. Select All Messages in the tab bar. If the Activities button in the toolbar is enabled with a blue icon, click it to turn this off. MacOS Triage Tool(MTT) is a DFIR tool to collect artifacts on macOS. The purpose of this tool is to collect important files with their directory structure for the investigation. MTT has not oly a CLI edition but also a GUI edition to help people who does not have a macOS forensics knowledge.
You can use the command-line environment interactively by typing a command and waiting for a result, or you can use the shell to compose scripts that run without direct interaction.
In the Terminal app on your Mac, enter the complete pathname of the tool’s executable file, followed by any needed arguments, then press Return.
If a command is located in one of the shell’s known folders, you can omit path information when entering the command name. The list of known folders is stored in the shell’s PATH environment variable and includes the folders containing most command-line tools.
For example, to run the ls
command in the current user’s home folder, enter the following at the command prompt, then press Return:
To run a command in the current user’s home folder, precede it with the folder specifier. For example, to run MyCommandLineProg
, use the following:
% ~/MyCommandLineProg
To open an app, use the open command:
When entering commands, if you get the message command not found
, check your spelling. Here’s an example:
% opne -a TextEdit.app
zsh: opne: command not found
In the Terminal app on your Mac, click the Terminal window that is running the command you want to terminate.
Press Control-C.
This sends a signal that causes most commands to terminate.
The commands you enter during a session are saved so you can repeat a previously used command without retyping it.
In the Terminal app on your Mac, press the Up Arrow key.
The last command you entered appears on the command line.
Continue pressing the Up Arrow key until you see the command you want, then press Return. Macos math for kids.

$ system_profiler open -tf
open[22070] No such file: /Users/notyou/-tf
system_profiler open -t -f
for it to work in Tiger. Also, the hint is incorrect. It will open in the default text editor. If you want to open TextEdit specifically, replace the '-t' with a '-e'. According to the 10.5 manpage you should only need to use '-f' to invoke the default text editor using stdin.
ls open -f
If you want to open a file you can use:
open -t /path/to/some/file.txt
system_profiler open -e -f
ls open -e -f
And if you prefer to open the output in a more serious text editor, use
system_profiler mate
for TextMate or
system_profiler bbedit
for BBEdit.

The command you are looking for is tee. It passes the output through while saving a copy to a file
system_profiler tee myfile.txt
system_profiler > /path/to/profiler.txt && open -e /path/to/profiler.txt
I think the primary consideration for NOT doing this is that you would then have to go and delete this file once you were done with it. By using a file stored in /tmp it is automatically deleted after 3 days.
But otherwise your point is valid.
And to argue AGAINST my own statement then your command could make the file in /tmp/* fashion.
OK, Base fact is that I think this tip works well due to its simplicity. If I don't care about the file (or file name) and do want the data then piping the output to 'open' would be more than acceptable and the system cleans up the resultant debris and I don't need to care about the initial file name or its location. Remember, there is potentially THOUSANDS of ways to skin data in *NIX.
So, I'm late to this party, but I have to point out that the title of this article, 'Capture command line output directly to a text file' is just plain wrong, as the direct obvious way to do what the title says is clearly:
This puts the output of system_profiler directly into the file /tmp/some_file_name, while the hint, and all the comments, are directing the output to an editor of some sort, and suggesting you could then save the output. That can be a nice thing to do, but it doesn't fit the title.
And.. on that front, I must offer:
Which keeps everything in the Terminal, and uses The Best Editor Ever.
But, please, if the hint remains the same, change the title to something like 'Capture command line output into a text editor'.
In order to use any other app:
open -f -a <application>
For example:
open -f -a Smultron
Nice idea, I can't believe I haven't tried that before. I spend a good deal of my time on the command line and another good deal in TextMate. I had never thought of piping something straight to a GUI app, which I think is the really cool bit of this (piping to vi(m)/nano/emacs seems a bit pointless to me).
mate myfile or folder
to open a file in the current path to textmate, you can also pipe output into mate
. Well, you can't call yourself a UNIX geek if you don't know how to re-direct std out (or error stream) to a file or device. Eg.
find / -name '*.txt' 2>/dev/null > list.lst
finds all files with .txt extension and puts the list to list.lst in current directory, and the error stream (e.g. you don't have a permission to list the directory or file) is sent to /dev/null (i.e. thrown away).
If you use (a real editor) vi/vim you can read from std out stream directly as in
ls / vim -
which lists all files on your file system you are allowed to see and pipes them to vim which reads it from the stream.
I use a different option but here it is
cat /path/to/file open -f -a 'textwrangler.app'
What about the way people have been doing it since Unix has existed? system_profiler > my_text_file.txt
Or if you want to append the output to an existing file, use '>>' instead of '>'. system_profiler >> my_existing_text_file.txt
