A small collection of command line tools for Mac OS X, incl.: clipcat, dict, eject, launch, ql, swuser, trash & with.
trash can now list trash contents across all volumes (with a disk usage total) as well as empty the trash (including a secure empty option; both emptying operations require confirmation).Note: Obviously, the new version of trash is now destructive. I have tested and use this myself, but I cannot guarantee it won’t securely erase your entire hard drive if it encounters some odd edge case and I cannot be held responsible for that. So, use at your own risk and keep backups!
swuser gives you control of Mac OS X’s Fast User Switching from the command line, including options for switching to login window, user by name, or user by ID. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with screen.trash correctly increments filenames (à la Finder) if the same filename already exists in your Trash instead of complaining that the file already exists. It also has a teensiest bit more logic regarding trash on the boot volume vs. other volumes.eject now supports ejecting mounted network volumes and includes a -f option to force a stubborn volume to eject (to be used only in extreme cases).clipcat is a new addition, submitted by David Kendal, which allows printing & concatenating of Text Clippings!Initial release, incl. trash & eject.
