I was trying to install a virtual machine on my Mac, and I followed the directions in an article from Digital Trends. I have since found additional resources, which have made me concerned about a step in the original instructions that said to type this into the Mac terminal:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
I initially trusted this code because I thought Digital Trends was safe, but is this code safe?
You're running whatever the contents of that URL are as your current user.
For certain definitions of safe, sure, this is fine, as it won't influence other users of your machine. I'd still take a look at the code in the URL to see if it's doing something you'd approve of doing yourself.
In your specific case, it appears to be a boring install of Microsoft binaries, so if you trust Microsoft to not do anything stupid/dangerous to your machine (I don't), you're likely fine.

I want a Windows machine to act as a server, being able to open ports to clients and send data to them over the Internet.
Is it possible to install Windows on any server to act like it or should I purchase Windows Server?
I have never truly worked with servers before so I know my questions is silly. :) Thanks for response.
You can install a normal windows on server computer and can do a lot of things with but if you have specific things to do, maybe you can try windows server and if it what you want, you can buy one ;)

I have a mac user who recently upgraded to El Capitan. We've been trying to install Notes on her machine. It installs but when we try and launch it, a window comes up saying that Notes is starting 'please wait' then just closes and nothing happens. I called IBM support but they have not been able to figure this out. They had me look for a 'preferences' file which should be in the Library folder (they say) but that apparently is not getting created. I was able to find a Data directory in 'IBM Notes > Contents>Resources>English.iproj>Data' and it is populated with a bunch of templates so it does seem to be getting installed. The user has admin privs on the machine. Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks!

Found the problem: Old files that were not removed by the uninstaller were apparently causing the problem. I deleted the Notes folder then the install went ahead. It complained about not having the names.nsf file but I retrieved it from the trash and it worked.

I recall from a while ago, I used a command that enabled me to see what version of SMB (CIFS/SMB1/SMB2) active mounts were using.
For the life of me I can't remember the command nor can I find it anywhere online.
What is the command line command to display active mounts and their negotiated connection method in OS X?
Thank you for your help in advance.
First establish a connection to a shared volume, and then, enter the following command in Terminal:
smbutil statshares -m /path/to/mount
The -m switch means that you will specify the mount point. You can also use the -a switch to specify all.

What exactly does heart bleed do and how can I protect my Windows XP from heart bleed? I heard that it takes your personal info by using memory. Can I lock my memory so that it can't use it? And if so, some insight on the subject would be nice. :)
I'm going to assume you didn't intentionally install openssl on your XP machine and that you aren't using your XP machine as a server. It's likely that the only thing you really need to worry about is websites you communicate with where the possibility that your information could be stolen could result in a significantly negative outcome for you... you need to make sure those companies have patched their servers if they were affected by the issue.

I want to run a script on Ubuntu when the network is connected. The main aim should be to update the time as soon as the first connection to Internet is established.
I know that scripts from /etc/network/if-up.d/ should be executed. Placing a script in this folder with just
date -u > /tmp/test.time
is not executed cause /tmp/ doesn't show any test.time. I don't know if this has an influence, but I have configured a static IP-address.
So my question is how to execute a script (resp. commands) when the connection to Internet is established? and How to install it to run after boot?
Have a look at Upstart: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
You can hook-up your scripts to various system events. Their documentation explains that all. I think you need net-device-up event, look for it in documentation.
