Set system and network prefs from the Terminal
Authored by: lunarobverse on Dec 17, '04 12:30:06AM
In
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/
I show:
[Gibson:ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support] bamoon% ls -al

drwxr-xr-x  11 root  wheel     374 16 Dec 21:22 .

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  130796 16 Dec 21:22 systemsetup-panther
So I'm assuming I can delete the versions of networksetup and systemsetup for Jaguar (10.2) and just use the versions for Panther (10.3) since I'm running 10.3.6? Would it hurt things if I deleted the Jaguar versions and rename the others to remove the "-panther"? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Why not just leave everything the way it is, and just name the symlinks whatever you want? That way there is no worry about messing anything up that ARD might count on to be there by changing names or deleting things. (Surely you don't feel the need to delete the Jaguar versions anyway in order to free up the ~150k! Right? :)

Yeah, I thought about that. Guess that's what I'll be doing.

Mostly I was worried about using the wrong one and screwing something up.
