Terminal Tips: Part 3
Yay! More terminal commands!
[7] whois
It’s a handy way to quickly track down registration/contact information about domain ownership. Simply enter whois domainnamehere.com.
[8] defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
If you use the screen shot function, you may at times want to change the format it stores the images in. Where jpg is in the code you can change it to whatever format you want, png, bmp, gif, etc. You will need to restart for the changes to take effect.
[9] defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'
This command creates a new stack in your dock so you can view recently used Applications. A quick killall Dock command is required for the change to take effect.
