"Terminal Saved Output" already exists.

A file or folder with the same name already exists in the folder Documents. Replacing it will overwrite its current contents.

Cancel   Replace

If you choose "Replace" the contents of the current Terminal tab will be written to the file, including the scrollback buffer, i.e., all of the information displayed in the window for the current Terminal tab, even what is not shown on the screen unless you scroll upwards, is recorded to the file.

So, if I wanted to capture the current output of top -o cpu, I could hit the Command and S keys to save the displayed information and then edit out anything from the scrollback buffer to have something like what is shown below.

$ top -o cpu

Searching the disk drive for it I found that it was associated with the Dell KACE software on the system, which is used for software management on the system.

$ find / -name AMPAgent 2>/dev/null
/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent

I killed the AMPAgent process and found that it restarted, but was no longer using so much of the CPU's cycles.

$ sudo kill -HUP 59625
Password:
$ ps -A | grep AMP | grep -v grep
14018 ??         0:00.34 /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent

At AMPAgent can utilize too much CPU on MAC and Windows on agent (126339) on the Dell Software Support site, I found Dell noting that the 5.5 version of the agent may experience issues with high CPU usage. The suggested fix was to upgrade to version 6.0 of the agent, which wasn't an option for me on the laptop, since control of the KACE servers and the KACE software deployed to client systems was under the purview of others. But I did verify that the version of the software was an older version, 5.4.10622; you can get the version number by using AMPAgent --help.

$ "/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent" --help
Usage: /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent -h <hostname> [-p <port>] [-d]

If you wish to have multiple rows remain visible when you scroll through the spreadsheet, you can click on a row below those you wish to remain visible and then click on Window and Freeze Panes. E.g., if you wished the top 5 rows to always be shown even when you've scrolled far below them, you could click on row 6 and then Window and Freeze Panes.

If you wished the top row and left-most column to always be visible, you could click on cell B2 and then Window and Freze Panes. Then if you scroll down through the spreadsheet, row number 1 will always be visible and if you scroll right, column A will also remain visible.

Calc does provide a NETWORKDAYS function, but that gives you the number of work days between two dates. I.e., weekends are excluded.

NETWORKDAYS

Returns the number of workdays between a start date and an end date. Holidays can be deducted.

Syntax

NETWORKDAYS(StartDate; EndDate; Holidays)

StartDate is the date from when the calculation is carried out. If the start date is a workday, the day is included in the calculation.

EndDate is the date up until when the calculation is carried out. If the end date is a workday, the day is included in the calculation.

Holidays is an optional list of holidays. These are non-working days. Enter a cell range in which the holidays are listed individually.

Example

How many workdays fall between 2001-12-15 and 2002-01-15? The start date is located in C3 and the end date in D3. Cells F3 to J3 contain the following Christmas and New Year holidays: "2001-12-24", "2001-12-25", "2001-12-26", "2001-12-31", "2002-01-01".
=NETWORKDAYS(C3;D3;F3:J3) returns 17 workdays.

However, the DATEDIF function isn't needed to calculate the number of days between two dates in Calc. Instead, you can simply subtract the two dates. E.g., if cell B18 contains the date January 1, 2014 and cell B19 contains the date March 4, 2015, you could place the formula =B19 - B18 in the cell where you want to store the number of days between the two dates. Unless you change the formatting of the cell to be something other than a number, you will see 427 as the value in the cell with that formula given the stated dates. That forumula will produce a result equivalent to DATEDIF(Start_Date,End_Date,"d") in Excel.

E.g., Google Chrome maintains its own internal DNS cache. You can display the entries in that cache by putting chrome://dns in the address bar for Chrome. When you do so, you will see information similar to that displayed below:

You will also see a page load count for web pages.

If you put chrome://downloads/ in the address bar you will see a list of the recently downloaded files and the URLs that were used to download them as well as the dates on which the files were downloaded..

You can view Chrome's history information showing a list of recently visited pages with the days and times they were visited with chrome://history/.

You can see information on Chrome's memory utilization, including the amount of memory used by each Chrome tab using chrome://memory. That will also reveal the amount of memory used by other browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox, that are open on the system. E.g., this is an example from a Windows 7 system where 3 tabs are open within Chrome, one for Wikipedia, one for Google, i.e., google.com, and one for chrome://memory itself, which is labeled "About Memory". The tabs are identified by Tab at the beginning of the name. IE 11 and Firefox 35.0.1 are also open on the system and so information about their memory utitlization is also displayed.

1. Click on the menu bar, which is 3 horizontal bars one beneath the other at the top right of the Chrome window.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click on the Make Google the default browser.
4. On a Windows system, you may see a window asking "How do you want to open this type of link (http)?" which shows the other browsers on the system that can be used to access websites. Click on Google Chrome

   

When you do that, the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command is updated as shown below when the query was run before and after the default browser was changed from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome on a Windows Server 2012 Essentials system.

C:\>reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command /ve

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
    (Default)    REG_SZ    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %1


C:\>reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command /ve

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
    (Default)    REG_SZ    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -- "%1"

If Firefox is the default browser, the value will be similar to the following, depending on where you installed Firefox:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"

Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found. Would you like to import them?

Any certificates that are not imported in this step will not be available in this version of Adobe Reader.

At Security (Digital Signatures), I found the following explanation in the Addressbook Import section:

The address book stores data for certificates used in digital signature and certificate encryption workflows. During a major upgrade (e.g. 10.x to 11.x), the product looks for existing address books on each user machine. Prior to install, you should decide whether to deploy a generic, enterprise address book or let the existing address book on each machine be imported into the new product. By default, when end users first launch the product, the application prompts them to import any discovered address book. The application looks for existing addressbooks from previous product versions by searching directories in this order.

• (root)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\addressbook.acrodata
• (root)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\addressbook.acrodata
• (root)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\addressbook.acrodata
• (root)\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat {current version such as 11.0}\Acrobat\Replicate

I checked to see if any of the files existed from prior versions for the administrator account, but didn't see any.

C:\>echo %APPDATA%

I didn't see any for the administrator's account, so then checked the user's account, but did not see any there, either.

Since the system had Adobe Acrobat 9.0 on it for creating PDF files as well as now having Adobe Reader 11.0, I checked the last directory in the list of possible locations as well, but didn't see anything there, either.

C:\>dir "c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Replicate"
 Volume in drive C is OS
 Volume Serial Number is 4445-F6ED

So it seems the prompt may appear even if there are no prior certificates to import. I clicked on the Import button anyway, though.

From a Terminal window on the iMac I downloaded the Bash script, check-time-machine-currency, to the user's application directory, /Users/pam/Applications, with curl and made it executble with chmod +x. When the script is run, you need to provide a parameter to it specifying the number of minutes you wish to use for the recency check; the script reports if a backup has completed within a number of minutes of the current time using the value you provide for the number of minutes on the command line. If you run the scipt without providing that number, an error message will be displayed. Below I specified two days, i.e., 2,880 minutes (there are 1,440 minutes per day).
