Esiste un modo per salvare le preferenze di Mac OS X in un file di shell?

Dopo molte ore di ricerca di qualcosa di utile almeno per il mio problema, ho trovato un sito Web chiamato Secrets , che fornisce molti Mac comuni OS "comandi di default".

Comunque, grazie Tony e drfrogsplatless per avermi dato chiarimenti e suggerimenti che mi sono stati utili.

La produzione automatica di uno script per rendere tutte le modifiche richieste è quasi impossibile. Gli amministratori di sistema Mac trascorrono molte ore in bar oscuri bevendo birra o bourbon e scambiando bit di questi file - siamo riluttanti a condividere tutto ciò che funziona a meno che non siate pronti a prendere la scheda.

In realtà il modo più semplice per catturare le modifiche di configurazione è utilizzare l'istantanea.

Copia una copia di InstallEase e fai un'istantanea del tuo nuovo Mac. Ora esegui tutta la configurazione che desideri e puoi scattare un'altra istantanea e creare un programma di installazione che installerà i file modificati in un nuovo Mac.

Naturalmente le complicazioni possono sorgere quando si applicano le modifiche a una nuova versione del sistema operativo, ma è per questo che beviamo il bourbon.

Le Preferenze di Sistema sembrano essere memorizzate in vari punti, a seconda che siano specifiche dell'utente o del sistema. Molti di questi sono memorizzati in /Library/Preferences/ o $HOME/Library/Preferences/ (per le impostazioni per utente). Ma ogni pannello delle preferenze avrà il proprio modo di memorizzarle.

Puoi vedere quali preferenze sono memorizzate in questo modo digitando:

defaults read <domain>

Dove <domain> è l'inizio del nome file nelle preferenze di sistema per utente o il percorso completo di un file .plist . Ad esempio:

defaults read com.apple.screensaver
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver

Il primo mostrerà la personalizzazione per utente delle impostazioni dello screensaver, mentre il secondo mostrerà le impostazioni del salvaschermo di sistema.

Le impostazioni sono in gran parte organizzate per riquadro delle preferenze, anche se non necessariamente in modo diretto. Probabilmente dovrai cercare in /Library/Preferences e sottocartelle (in particolare SystemConfiguration ) per trovarli tutti.

Un'opzione consisterebbe semplicemente nel copiare i file rilevanti e rimetterli in posizione per le nuove installazioni.

Un altro modo sarebbe esportarlo e importarlo come richiesto.

Esportazione delle preferenze di sistema Risparmio energia (Risparmio energia) su pm.plist:

defaults export /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement pm.plist

Importazione di quelle preferenze da pm.plist sul nuovo computer:

defaults import /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement sysprefs.plist

Potresti anche voler modificare i vari file .plist esportati se ci sono specifiche preferenze di sistema che vuoi / non vuoi condividere tra computer. In questo modo puoi avere una personalizzazione a livello locale e il comando import non li sovrascriverà, aggiungi solo quelli che hai impostato nei file .plist . Puoi anche utilizzare il comando defaults per modificare i tuoi file .plist (ma assicurati di specificare il percorso completo del file, non solo un nome, o potresti modificare le tue preferenze per utente).

L'ultima volta che ho effettuato una reinstallazione pulita, ho appena copiato l'intera cartella ~/Library/Preferences/ e non ho riscontrato alcun problema a causa di ciò. Le impostazioni per le vecchie versioni di applicazioni e le impostazioni specifiche per Mac dovrebbero essere ignorate. Non ci sono quasi file in ~/Library/Preferences/ su una nuova installazione e se si eliminano tutti i file in ~/Library/Preferences/ , i file delle preferenze verranno ricreati quando necessario.

I file delle preferenze per le applicazioni in modalità sandbox sono ora memorizzati in ~/Library/Containers/ , ma non so se copiarli su un altro Mac causerebbero problemi.

Potresti anche utilizzare Assistente Migrazione .

O se vai sulla rotta .osx , puoi diffare l'output di defaults read :

1. Esegui defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/a
2. Modifica alcune impostazioni
3. Esegui defaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/b;diff /tmp/[ab]

Puoi eseguire sudo opensnoop o usare fseventer per vedere quali file vengono modificati quando cambia le preferenze dalla GUI.

Ecco un Apple Script parzialmente completato che ho scritto nell'agosto del 2016 per il mio Mac, pubblicato qui come, beh, "proof of concept" è un po 'strong, ma è qualcosa con cui puoi giocare:

(* Prima di eseguire questo script devi prima concedere i collant Apple Script in Preferenze di Sistema - > Sicurezza e amp; Privacy - > Accessibilità e consentire a Apple Script di controllare il computer. È possibile ottenere un vantaggio con l'esecuzione dello script fino a quando non riesce a quel punto. Quindi interrompi lo script, passa alla finestra di dialogo Preferenze e seleziona la casella accanto a Script Editor. Quindi puoi tornare indietro, eliminare tutti gli screenshot già acquisiti (per evitare di confondere i duplicati) e riavviare lo script.

Perché hai bisogno di fare questo? Becaue alcune finestre di dialogo preferenziali, una volta aperte e "fotografate", devono essere chiuse esplicitamente con un clic del mouse sul pulsante Annulla. Apple Script non può farlo se non ha i diritti "per controllare il computer" all'interno di tale pref. *)
