pl_svn Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 remember having seen, time ago, something alike but can't remember where either I'm pretty sure, though, it was at least one year ago: meaning *before Yosemite* and these scripts are quite a lot OS version specific so...

semente Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi, I've just moved my music from a USB HDD to a WD NAS but after I ran the CAD script V1.3 on OS 10.9.5 I can't find it on the network. Does anyone know which line of the script I should disable? Thanks, Ric P.S.: the NAS is connected directly to the MBP with an ethernet cable and is working perfectly without the script.

tmtomh Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Does anyone know how El Capitan's new "rootless mode" (for increased security) impacts the ability of 3rd party scripts to disable services? Link to comment
wgscott Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Does anyone know how El Capitan's new "rootless mode" (for increased security) impacts the ability of 3rd party scripts to disable services? Briefly, you cannot change a file in /System/Library, /usr, /bin, /sbin, and the Apple-provided applications in /Applications. You can however unload launchd items, which roughly corresponds to the windows notion of "services". OS X 10.11 El Capitan: The Ars Technica Review | Ars Technica Link to comment

wgscott Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 No. The "defaults write" commands should all still work (providing they haven't changed the launchd files). If you want to alter or delete system files, you would have to reboot into recovery mode and turn off SIP. I can't remember if there is anything in those scripts that would try to do that, but they will just fail (silently, since they mask all the output by sending it to /dev/null ) if you leave SIP enabled (and you probably should).

Got it. I tested line by line of my script and you're correct, it all works. The one thing that doesn't work anymore is the permissions repair, but diskutil doesn't do tha no mo. Thx.

Freann Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I ran the script on clean 10.11 installation on a SD card (mac mini). I chose not to do the last two steps: launch daemons and startup items. When I did I had issues (post #585). I now have 157 processes and only a handful that shows any activity in the Activity control app. SQ seems to be a step up from 10.10. I like it.

Tand Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Same as Freann. Works great with 10.11 on a 32 gb SD card. Had some lag on Yosemite but much better now. The script is set with wifi on and launch/startup set to off. I have 167 processes, 10 more than Freann. Could this be because of the wifi? Link to comment
odelay Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Miguilito - Sorry if I've missed the bleedin' obvious, but are you still using the original script you made? (Was it for Mavericks?)

AudioDoctor Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Here is a crazy idea, please think about it for a bit before warming the tar and gathering your feathers... But if the computer is used only for music, and it is working fine, and you already have it optimized for playback, why not just leave it alone? No electron left behind. Link to comment

soundquest Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Does anyone know if this script will work with ElCapitan? If not, what prior OSX should be used? I'm running a 2011 Mac Mini using ElCapitan and Audirvana. But, since the Mac is strictly a music server, I don't mind "downgrading" to a prior OSX. BTW, is this script still being developed? Thank you. Link to comment
