command line – Linux’ `ps f` (tree view) equivalent on OSX? – Ask Different
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/14
There still is no ps xf on Mac OS X.
You need brew install pstree for that. Then you can excute pstree which gives you a treeview of the processes running.

unxz on Mac OS X requires the xz formula from homebrew
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/30
Most sites explaining how to decompress an xz file mention you should use unxz from the xz utils toolbox.
Running unzx on Msc OS X requires the xz formula from homebrew:
$ brew install xz ==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/xz-5.2.2.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Pouring xz-5.2.2.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/xz/5.2.2: 91 files, 1.4M

Reminder to self: Sort out empty (zero size) Icon? files in Google Drive folder on OS X and Windows
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/12
It looks like when syncing folders between Mac OS X (MacOS X?) and Windows, many directories get empty Icon? files have a size of 0 bytes.
None of these directories had custom icons, so I’m inclined to remove them all from the Google Drive folder:
find . -name 'Icon*' -size 0 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
as [WayBack] Didier Trosset answered at [WayBack] How to delete many 0 byte files in linux? – Stack Overflow

Chrome on Mac OS X keeps all old versions it ever installed…
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/08
Like many, I’m a digital packrat. Somehow all your storage space somehow becomes full over time. But sometimes that’s not because just you are a digital packrat. Applications can be digital packrats too.
Chrome is such an example as on Mac OS X it will keep every prior version filed under /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions. In my case GrandPerspective showed it as one big blob of close 20 gigabyte. Which is odd as the download itself is was slightly short of 20 gigabyte of Chrome versions.
There are various ways to clean up this by script, but I find the easiest to do this in Finder:
- From Grand Perspective, right click the entry, then choose “Reveal in Finder”
- In Finder, right click the entry, then choose “Show Package Contents”
- In Finder, with the expanded “Contents” folder, browse to the “Versions” folder and expand it.
- From Finder, delete unwanted versions.

… simply hold the refresh button and then tap on Request Desktop Site. The page should refresh and you should be redirected to web.whatsapp.com and you should be looking at a QR code on the screen of your iPad.
If you know it’s “simply”.

htop – an interactive process viewer for Unix
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/25
Great tool: [WayBack] htop – an interactive process viewer for Unix because it’s both interactive and supports a wide range of OSes: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X.
Thanks to Warren Postma who suggested it in his comment at [WayBack] 18 Useful Commands to Get Hardware Information on Linux – Linuxslaves.
Note that on OS X you get this warning after brew install htop :
htop requires root privileges to correctly display all running processes,
so you will need to run `sudo htop`.
You should be certain that you trust any software you grant root privileges.
On Linux you don’t get this message as there you have the /proc file system providing enough information as explained at [WayBack] osx – Why does htop on Mac OS X require root privileges to see data for all processes, but on Linux it runs without root – Super User.
A workaround (involving the setuid bit) is at [WayBack] Running htop on Mac OS X needs root. Why?! | Blog | JoeNyland.me or by running visudo ensuring you don’t need a password for it at [WayBack] osx – htop isn’t returning CPU or memory usage!? – Super User
