Есть ли способ сохранить настройки Mac OS X в файл оболочки?

Системные настройки хранятся в разных местах, в зависимости от того, являются ли они специфичными для пользователя или системы. Многие из них хранятся либо в, либо /Library/Preferences/( $HOME/Library/Preferences/для пользовательских настроек). Но у каждой панели настроек будет свой способ их хранения.

Вы можете увидеть, какие настройки хранятся таким образом, набрав:

defaults read <domain>

Где <domain>находится либо начало имени файла в настройках вашей системы для каждого пользователя, либо полный путь к .plistфайлу. Например:

defaults read com.apple.screensaver
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver

Первый покажет ваши настройки заставки для каждого пользователя, а второй покажет системные настройки заставки.

Настройки в основном упорядочены по панели предпочтений, хотя и не обязательно так прямолинейно. Вам, вероятно, придется ковыряться в /Library/Preferencesпапках и подпапках (особенно SystemConfiguration), чтобы найти их все.

Одним из вариантов было бы просто скопировать соответствующие файлы и вернуть их на место для новых установок.

Другой способ - экспортировать и импортировать его по мере необходимости.

Экспорт системных настроек управления питанием (энергосбережения) в pm.plist:

defaults export /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement pm.plist

Импорт этих настроек с pm.plistнового компьютера:

defaults import /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement sysprefs.plist

Возможно, вы даже захотите отредактировать различные экспортированные .plistфайлы, если есть определенные системные настройки, которые вы хотите/не хотите использовать для совместного использования между компьютерами. Таким образом, вы можете иметь некоторые настройки локально, и importкоманда не перезапишет их, просто добавьте те, которые вы установили в .plistфайлах. Вы также можете использовать эту defaultsкоманду для изменения своих собственных .plistфайлов (но убедитесь, что вы указали полный путь к файлу, а не только имя, иначе вы можете изменить свои настройки для каждого пользователя).

Автоматическое создание сценария для внесения всех необходимых изменений практически невозможно. Системные администраторы Mac проводят много часов в темных барах, пьют пиво или бурбон и обмениваются кусочками этих файлов — мы не хотим делиться всей этой работой, если вы не готовы заплатить за это.

На самом деле самый простой способ зафиксировать изменения конфигурации — это использовать моментальные снимки.

Возьмите копию InstallEase и сделайте снимок своего нового Mac. Теперь выполните все настройки, которые вы хотите, и вы можете сделать еще один снимок и создать программу установки, которая установит измененные файлы на новый Mac.

Конечно, могут возникнуть сложности при применении изменений к новой версии операционной системы, но именно поэтому мы пьем бурбон.

В прошлый раз, когда я делал чистую переустановку, я просто скопировал всю ~/Library/Preferences/папку, и у меня не было никаких проблем из-за этого. Настройки для старых версий приложений и настройки для Mac следует просто игнорировать. В ~/Library/Preferences/новой установке почти нет файлов, и если вы удалите все файлы в ~/Library/Preferences/, файлы настроек будут созданы заново, когда они потребуются.

Файлы настроек для изолированных приложений теперь хранятся в ~/Library/Containers/, но я не знаю, вызовет ли какие-либо проблемы их копирование на другой Mac.

Вы также можете просто использовать Migration Assistant .

Или, если вы пойдете по .osxмаршруту, вы можете изменить вывод defaults read:

1. Бегdefaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/a
2. Изменить некоторые настройки
3. Бегdefaults read|awk 'length<200'>/tmp/b;diff /tmp/[ab]

Вы можете запустить sudo opensnoopили использовать fseventer , чтобы увидеть, какие файлы изменяются при изменении настроек из графического интерфейса.

После многих часов поиска чего-то, по крайней мере, полезного для моей проблемы, я нашел веб-сайт под названием Secrets , который предоставляет множество распространенных команд Mac OS «запись по умолчанию».

В любом случае, спасибо Тони и drfrogsplatless за разъяснения и полезные советы.

Вот частично завершенный сценарий Apple Script, который я написал в августе 2016 года для своего Mac, размещенный здесь в качестве «доказательства концепции» немного сильного, но с ним можно поиграть:

(* Прежде чем запускать этот сценарий, вы должны сначала разрешить доступ Apple Script в разделе «Системные настройки» -> «Безопасность и конфиденциальность» -> «Доступность» и разрешить Apple Script управлять компьютером. Вы можете получить преимущество, запустив сценарий до тех пор, пока он не выйдет из строя точку. Затем остановите сценарий, перейдите к этому диалоговому окну «Настройки» и установите флажок рядом с «Редактор сценариев». Затем вы можете вернуться, удалить все уже сделанные снимки экрана (чтобы избежать путаницы с дубликатами) и снова запустить сценарий.

Зачем вам это нужно? Потому что некоторые диалоги настроек, после того как они открыты и «сфотографированы», должны быть явно закрыты щелчком мыши по кнопке «Отмена». Apple Script не может этого сделать, если у него нет прав «управлять вашим компьютером» в этом преф. *)
