Journaling Scripts
Authored by: Squeak on Dec 10, '02 10:40:12AM

This is fine and dandy, but C'mon folks, Do you really
need a gui (especially one that goes away) when one
line in the terminal will do the trick? As a Mac Systems
guru, I firmly advocate that all my OSX users
get, at least, an initial introduction to using terminal.
It's not a big deal.I'm not dissing scripts like this,
it just seems like there's so many "automated" scripts
out there, for gosh sakes...these could be more dangerous than
they appear.

yep. i think Squeak's right. that's an awful lot of code to debug for achieving the same effect in the shell...

% sudo diskutil enableJournal /volumeRef

Hey mt,

Reason I got around to doing this, is that I know a lot of people that really don't like the terminal, or are afraid of using it; especially in the ranks of the old macusers. To tell you the truth I think It's nice to be able to say "you don't need to use the terminal for anything".

That I actually enjoy this learning process (and I've come a long way, thanks in part to you and all the great people of the forums), and that I think it's a wonderful tool that everyone would benefit from; doesn't mean that I must impose it on others.

Oh, and one practical application of the script, if you have several partitions this may be a bit easier.

It's no biggie, but no-one should be afraid of CLI.
That being said, yes there are some folks who
shouldn't even have access to the trash.
