Get ssh-copy-id in Mac OS X

There’s a very convenient shell script bundled with some distributions of OpenSSH called ssh-copy-id. It seems not to be the case with Leopard’s SSH.

In order to get it, we can simply check it out of a SVN repository. Execute this two commands:

sudo curl "http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/cvsweb/openssh/contrib/ssh-copy-id?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain" -o /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id

And you’re done!

Symfony tip: Watching your logs on mac with Console


Not a big fan of the Web Developer toolbar? Me either! But I do use the logging system quite a bit. Thankfully, OS X ships with an useful application called Console that comes to the rescue.

  1. Open the Console application
  2. Go to File > Open and browse to your frontend_dev.log or desired log file in the symfony logs directory
  3. Click Show Log List and select your newly opened file to avoid the clutter of the rest of the OS logs
  4. You’re done! You can now take advantage of features like clearing the view, search, and more :)
