![]() I am sure there is a better way to do it, but I have no experience with Applescript and so will leave it to others to suggest any improvements. In Yosemite, the code in the accepted answer would work only the first time - meaning when I double click the first file in the Finder, it opens fine, but when I click the subsequent files, they would just open blank new terminal windows (vim won't open) with command prompt.Īfter going through multiple sites, cobbled together a version that works just fine. The "Open File in Terminal from Finder" script was working fine in Mavericks, but it stopped working after the upgrade to Yosemite. One reason you might want to do this is troubleshooting by monitoring the logs for the mdmclient process as you attempt to enroll the machine through DEP, tailing the Jamf log or whatever bootstrap processes you have that might get triggered before the machine has moved passed the Setup Assistant.I just wanted to add a comment to the accepted answer with the code changes needed to make it work in Yosemite, but since I don't have sufficient reputation couldn't add a comment, and hence attempting to reply via an answer. Open Apple menu System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts Services Disable Search man Page Index in Terminal (or change the shortcut). You can also launch Console as noted above. Run softwareupdate to install all updates: softwareupdate -i -a.Enroll in the public beta feed: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/amework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil enroll PublicSeed.Assuming you’ve already enabled root in single user mode (and that you are a member of the public beta program): Here I’ll quickly cover how to enroll our un-configured Mac to receive betas from the public beta feed. Rich Trouton has a very nicely detailed article on using seedutil in High Sierra to enroll a machine into Apple’s macOS beta software update channel that is worth a read. One interesting thing we could do with this is to take an unconfigured machine with a release version of macOS and upgrade it to a beta version of macOS before it has been configured so, for instance, we could test upcoming changes in DEP enrollment. ![]() Now when we start up the machine and it is at the Setup Assistant, when we launch Terminal then change our user from _mbsetupuser to root with su. Enable opendirectory: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/.Mount the boot drive as read/write: /sbin/mount -uw /.Start up your machine into single-user mode.Enabling root on a machine that hasn’t gone through setup assistant But if we enable the root user ahead of time, we can elevate our permissions to do things that are more interesting. Since Terminal is launching as _mbsetupuser, we can’t do anything that requires root level permissions. The most common use would be to get the IP address of the machine while it is at Setup Assistant using either ifconfig or networksetup. Pretty much anything that doesn’t require elevated privileges. Now that we have Terminal launched, what can we do with it? ![]() Terminal will then launch as _mbsetupuser which is the user that Setup Assistant runs as. ![]() When you are in Setup Assistant, you can open Terminal or Console by pressing: Recently I became aware that you can open Terminal (and Console) from the macOS Setup Assistant via keyboard shortcuts. ![]()
