Automatic Link Pop-out

Here’s a neat bit of code that, when embedded in a webpage, will pop all links into a new window when the form box is checked:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
      // thanks to randomwalks.com for this code
      function targetLinks(boNew) {
        if (boNew)
          where = "_blank";
        else
          where = "_self";
        for (var i=0; i< =(document.links.length-1); i++) {
          document.links[i].target = where;
        }
      }
      // -->
</script>
    <form name="targeter">
       <input type="checkbox" name="targetbox" id="tcheck" onclick="targetLinks(this.checked);">
      <label for="tcheck">
        Check box to open links in a new window
      </label>
    </form>

Adding a multi-line value to NetInfo using niutil and Applescript

1. Create the file you want to load into the value as plain text and scp it to your destination server.
2. Create an applescript with the following text:
set the text_file to open for access file “Remote HD:path:to:file”
set text_of_file to read text_file
do shell script “niutil -createprop -t radmind/network /computer_lists/Peds\ Managed\ Classic mcx_settingss ‘” & text_of_file & “‘”
3. Save the applescript local, then scp it to the destination server
4. ssh to the destination server as root and run `osascript name_of_applescript`
5. Check with NetInfo Manager to see how things went.

It’s recommended to make the property you add to a non-critical one, then rename it later (example, mine uses mcx_settingss instead of the real mcx_settings value).
Your milage may vary, playing with NetInfo may make your machine very sick and unable to boot. You have been warned.
