Half of what he writes goes way over my head but it does give me food for thought and makes me a better SysAdmin once I take the time to learn enough to at least understand what he is talking about (technically). And the kill operations don't stop at CLIX - they kill timestamps for all TTYs for your own safety." A second thread runs asynchronously after every CLIX command to kill the sudo time stamp as well. The prefix zaps the time stamp so you will always detect when sudo is being invoked if that's what you want. "Each CLIX command comes with an unseen prefix and an unseen suffix.
An extract from a recent XNews focussed on CLIX reads: His products go out of the way to ensure that your security is of primary importance.

Having dealt with Rick for a number of years now on both a business and personal basis I have found him to be an honest, honourable and generous person.ĬlIX is his gift to the Mac OS community along the lines of 'If you give a man a fish.' has taught me much of what I know of the UNIX command line and saved me many hours - I manage >300 Macs. So sometime you might remember a command or two and try it on your own.ĬLIX comes with commands for viewing all your system logs, for cleaning out browser caches, for pruning and fixing 'plist' preference files, for spelunking in root's back yard, for ridding your system of all kinds of junk, for seeing what your virtual memory is up to, what your Netinfo database manager is up to, and on and on.ĬLIX also has its own newsletter and command exchange for in-depth discussion of Unix and the CLIX commands. The CLIX package includes a starter database file with over 1,100 system commands for investigating your system status, for cleaning out junk files, for getting at esoteric secret settings in your most used applications - and more.Īnd most importantly, CLIX is infinitely extensible: you can add to it at any time, in any way you please - add new commands, new command categories, new command database files, and so on.Īnd unlike other systems, CLIX is 100% 'WYSISYG' (what you see is what you get): it's exactly the command lines you would use at a terminal if you were so inclined. It's perfect for the pros and can be helpful for the noobs too. CLIX (Command Line Interface for OS X) is a Cocoa application that harnesses the power of Unix.
