What is the growlnotify -c option? - macos

If growlnotify -h:
Usage: growlnotify [-hsvuwc] [-i ext] [-I filepath] [--image filepath]
[-a appname] [-p priority] [-H host] [-P password]
[-n name] [-A method] [--html] [-m message] [-t] [--url url]
[title]
But the meaning of c in [-hsvuwc] is not described. What could it be?
Update:
the official man page installed with the program has no description of a c option. Several online man pages I found has neither.

From the man page:
-c,--crypt Encrypt UDP notifications. By default, UDP notifications are sent unencrypted.

-c,--crypt Encrypt UDP notifications.
per growlnotify -h on my install.

Why does this simple Hydra command not work despite the writeup specifying the exact same syntax?

So lately I have been trying to learn hydra from tryhackme, and tried to use this simple command
hydra -l molly -P /Users/root/Desktop/ctf/rockyou.txt 10.10.161.247 http-form-post "/:username=^USER^&password=^PASS^:F=incorrect" -V
But it does not work and shows
Syntax: hydra [[[-l LOGIN|-L FILE] [-p PASS|-P FILE]] | [-C FILE]] [-e nsr] [-o FILE] [-t TASKS]
[-M FILE [-T TASKS]] [-w TIME] [-W TIME] [-f] [-s PORT] [-x MIN:MAX:CHARSET] [-c TIME]
[ISOuvVd46] [service://server[:PORT][/OPT]]
What am i doing wrong?
I am using Hydra V9.0 on MacOS Mojave.
This is the writeup I am talking about.
You have to specify the directory for the login form.
Try this instead:
hydra -l molly -P [wordlist directory] [IP] http-form-post "login/:username=^USER^&password=^PASS^:F=incorrect" -V
This shall work.

How to run scp on ec2

I'm trying to copy file from server to server by running scp command on ec2.
**My command:**
[ec2-user#ip-xx-xx-xx-xxx ~]$ scp -P 51865 user#207.154.xx.xx:/home/yakir/tr/tracker-2019-12-12.tar.gz ec2-user#ec2-3-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/home/ec2-user/tracker-2019-12-12.tar.gz
The error is:
usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user#]host1:]file1 ... [[user#]host2:]file2
What should i do to get it works?
Thanks!
ssh to server and run scp
ssh -P 51865 user#207.154.xx.xx "scp /home/yakir/tr/tracker-2019-12-12.tar.gz ec2-user#ec2-3-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/home/ec2-user/tracker-2019-12-12.tar.gz"

sudo -u postgres not working in mac os x

I have recently installed postgresql 9.1 after uninstalling postgres 9.3 as per the requirement of my project but I am not able to run basic sudo command with postgres user.
sudo -u postgres -h localhost createdb template_postgis
This gives me no error but shows the usage of sudo:
usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -V
usage: sudo -v [-AknS] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user name|#uid]
usage: sudo -l[l] [-AknS] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-U user name] [-u
user name|#uid] [-g groupname|#gid] [command]
usage: sudo [-AbEHknPS] [-C fd] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user
name|#uid] [-g groupname|#gid] [VAR=value] [-i|-s] [<command>]
usage: sudo -e [-AknS] [-C fd] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user
name|#uid] file ...
Though sudo works for other projects and commands but not in this. It was working earlier perfectly. I will be really thankful if someone helps.
In the manual page for sudo (which you can view by running man sudo in the terminal), you can see that this is exactly what the -h option does:
-h The -h (help) option causes sudo to print a usage message and exit.
You should be able to run the command without that option:
sudo -u postgres createdb template_postgis

Regarding synopsis of commands

I was playing with CHPASS command on my Mac OS X. I found the synopsis of CHPASS command on my bash shell and online is very different.
On my bash shell: chpass [-l location] [-u authname] [-s newshell] [user]
On google: chpass [-a list] [-p encpass] [-e expiretime] [-s newshell] [user]
chpass [-oly] [-a list] [-p encpass] [-e expiretime] [-s newshell]
[-d domain] [-h host] [user]
I didn't get why both synopsis are different. If I am right, do I need to update anything to get full synopsis? If yes, how do I do it?
There's no reason to think that the version of the chpass command you have on OS X is the same version of the command for which you found the synopsis online. You didn't provide any links so it's hard to know for sure, but it looks like you found online the documentation for the FreeBSD version version of the chpass command.
The man page for the OS X version of the command shows the same synopsis you found on your computer.
These are different implementations of the chpass command.

OSX Terminal.app SSH port

I feel like a complete dunce - but I cannot seem to connect with Terminal.app and SSH to a non-standard SSH port. I'm on Mountain Lion.
I've tried all of the following:
$ ssh myuser#mysite.com -p 42586
$ ssh myuser#mysite.com -p42586
$ ssh -p 42586 myuser#mysite.com
$ ssh -p42586 myuser#mysite.com
I cannot seem to get the syntax right, all of the above produce an error. What is the correct order of flags? I have checked the man page and it shows it as preceding the [user]#[domain] section, however, this throws an error as well.
Edit:
More information and raw terminal output:
$ ssh mysite.com -p42586
--hangs--
$ ssh mysite.com -p 42586
--hangs--
$ ssh -p42586 mysite.com

Examples 1 and 2 hang until timeout. 3 and 4 produce a grep usage echo as well as an ssh usage echo.
Edit 2:
Thanks for the suggestion #topguncoder my original attempt was the colon notation - but that produces a different error:
$ ssh myuser#mysite.com:42586
ssh: Could not resolve hostname mysite:42586: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Try
"ssh" -p 42586 mysite.com
to ignore your alias settings. It looks like you might have ssh aliased to something else. If this works, you should check your .profile for any ssh aliases.
I believe that on your system, the ssh command somehow was redefined as the grep command. Try this:
alias | /usr/bin/grep ssh
What do you see? Also, try this:
/usr/bin/ssh -p 42586 myuser#mysite.com
Do you have a success connection? If ssh was aliased into something else. Check the following files:
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
~/.profile
You can then remove the alias, or use the absolute path (e.g /usr/bin/ssh)
