Installing the Agent on Mac OS X machines is a manual operation. The Agent is packaged as a Universal Binary Installer. You can run the installation process in silent mode or interactive mode. To run the installation in silent mode, you must edit the configuration options in the csi.config file. Due to changes in Mac OS X 10.10 and later, the SystemStarter command can no longer be used to start and stop the McAfee Agent services. Use the instructions below to start and stop the McAfee Agent services from a Terminal Window.
Install the appropriate version of the VCM Agent on each of your licensed target machines to enable communication between the Collector and the managed Mac OS X machines.
Installing the Agent on Mac OS X machines is a manual operation. The Agent is packaged as a Universal Binary Installer. You can run the installation process in silent mode or interactive mode. To run the installation in silent mode, you must edit the configuration options in the csi.config file. The file is edited to accommodate different target machine types.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the machine on which you intend to install the Agent has enough free disk space. Formore information, see the VCM Installation Guide.
- If you are installing the Agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 7, or CentOS 7, verify that the
net-tools
andredhat-lsb-core
packages are installed on the target machine. - Identify the Agent binary installation package that you will copy from the Collector to the managed machine. See the VCM Installation Guide.
- If you run an installation in silent mode, modify the appropriate csi.config file variable options. See Installation Options for Max OS X csi.config .
- If you select (x)inetd/launchd for CSI_AGENT_RUN_OPTION, verify that (x)inetd/launchd is running on the target machines. On some versions, when (x)inetd/launchd services are not configured, (x)inetd/launchd will not stay running. To ensure the Agent installation completes successfully, pass a - stayalive option to (x)inetd/launchd. See Installation Options for Max OS X csi.config .
- Log in to the target Mac OS X machine as root, or have sudo as root.
- Select the method that you want to use to copy files to the target machines. You can use ftp, sftp, or cp using an NFS share. If you use ftp to copy the package to your machine, you must use binary mode.
- If you are collecting non-ASCII information from the target machines, install a UTF-8 locale. To determine the locales installed on your operating system, use the locale -a command.
Procedure
Copy the appropriate Agent binary installation package from the Collector to the machine on which you will install the Agent.
The Agent packagesare located on the Collector in Program Files (x86)VMwareVCMInstallerPackages.
- On the target machine, run chmod u+x to set the execute permission for the file owner on the Agent binary file.
In the directory to which you copied the file, run ./CMAgent.. to create the necessary directory structure and extract the files.
The dream world (baldis coma chapter 2) mac os. To force an overwrite of any existing files, include the -o option.For example: /CMAgent..Darwin -o.
The command and output is similar to the following example, but with different file names depending on the operating system.

File Description InstallCMAgent Installation script. csi.config Configuration file for the installation. This is the file you can modify to include installation options for silent rather than interactive installation processes. packages Installation packages. scripts Scripts required for the installation. (Optional) Edit the csi.config file to customize the installation variables and save your changes.
- Run the chmod u+x csi.config command to add write file permissions if the file has only read permissions set.
- Modify the csi.config file options based on your local requirements and save the file.
Copy the modified and saved csi.config file to the extracted location.
For example, # cp //csi.config //CSIInstall/csi.config.
Run InstallCMAgent in either silent mode or interactive mode.
Option Action Silent mode
Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent -s command.
Install the Agent using the silent mode if you manually edited the csi.config file, if you modifiedthe csi.config file using the interactive method, or if you are using a custom configuration file thatyou saved from a previous Agent installation. This mode uses the valuesspecified in csi.config without prompting for input.
When the silent installation finishes, a summary of the installation process and status appears.Verify that the installation finished without errors.
Interactive mode
Run the # ./CSIInstall/InstallCMAgent command. Tennis4two - the roots mac os.
Install the Agent using the interactive mode if you did not modify the csi.config and to respond to each prompt toaccept or change each parameter in the csi.config file as it runs. As a result of your responses, the csi.config is modified.
The preinstallation stage of interactive mode checks for a valid user, CSI_USER. If the user exists, you are not prompted for these configuration values.
- CSI_USER_NO_LOGIN_SHELL
- CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GROUP
- CSI_USER_PRIMARY_GID
- CSI_USER_USE_NEXT_AVAILABLE_LOCAL_GID
You are prompted for these values only when the CSI_USER user account is not found.
The User and the Group are created in the local directory service storage.
You can check the installation status in the installation log file. The file is located in /log/install.log.
Run ls –la /CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent to verify that all the required files and directories were installed.
/CSI_PARENT_DIRECTORY/CMAgent is the default directory. If you changed the directory name during installation, modify the ls -la command to display the custom directory name.

Click here to return to the 'Take screenshots of sheets with Command-Shift-4 ' hint |
Yup. I've been using it for ages. I can't test it right now, but it probably was already working on Tiger.
Thanks!
To be clear, the technique works for all windows, including the menubar and menus, including pop-up menus. I could've sworn I'd used it to capture a sheet before, but it seems not to work on 10.7 (which may mean that they changed the default behavior compared to an earlier OS where it did work).
The command line program screencapture
allows you to exercise this and even more options (e.g. you can have it leave out the shadow). To capture a sheet (although I found that it sometimes leaves off some of the sub-controls in the standard save dialog), you can use screencapture -iwa file.png
.
I just tested this under 10.7.5. It gives a cursor that I can click and drag to outline an area. When I release the drag, it 'clicks' and leaves a .png file in my desktop with the area's contents. It doesn't seem to understand any window boundaries. Just -> what you see is what you get <-
Looking at the other comment, I find that hitting the space-bar after Command-Shift-4 does switch to selecting the window and creating an image of a camera. But Command-click is needed to actually create the copy. This seems to work on my wife's 10.6 system as well.
In Lion, you have to type Command-Shift-4, hit Space to switch to the window-camera mode, and then hold down Command to take a picture of just the sheet.
Second Edit: Just read the rest of the main post: It looks like this was just reversed in Mountain Lion.
Agent Shift Mac Os Catalina
In Snow Leopard, you could take a picture of the sheet or the window but not both. Lion made 'Window + Sheet' the default with command switching to 'window or sheet'; Mountain Lion just reversed that.
This has definitely been there for a long time, I remember using this when I got my new Mac back when 10.6 Snow Leopard came out. Maybe even before that.
The spacebar after command-shift-4 has worked since at least 10.4, probably earlier (possibly back to Classic.) I thought it worked on sheets for as long as OS X has had sheets, but I may be wrong (haven't needed to capture sheets all that often.)
FWIW, holding down the control key during any capture (command-shift-3/4) will send the capture to the clipboard, and after using the space bar with command-shift-4, holding down the option key will leave off the window's shadow, which extends much further than you might think.
Also worth mentioning, the space bar toggles between the window and the dragged rectangle for command-shift-4.
Works in MacOS 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G3 Pismo
Yes, I'm fairly sure this has always been possible but don't have an old enough machine around.
Works on 10.7.5 as well. Also of note: if, while holding the command key, you hover the mouse off the sheet and onto the window it's attached to, you can take a screenshot of the window itself *without* the sheet, i.e. the resulting screenshot shows the window as it would appear without the sheet.
I'm not sure why anyone would need that feature, but there it is. Someone must have figured it' be of some use.
Thank you for that. Now read the hint.

I just tested this with TextEdit's Save panel on Lion. It works a little too well: Not only does it not capture the sheet's parent window (as it would without ⌘), it also does not capture the child window in which the Save panel stores TextEdit's accessory view (the view that contains the encoding pop-up and option to imply .txt).
This hint has been around for ages. I just tested it on a 10.3.9 eMac (yes, we still have those..UGH!) and I may have been using that trick even further back than that.
You can even capture individual pieces on the desktop (HD/app/file icons), the dock pieces (icons, or just the outline of the dock..although not sure why you'd want that), etc. Get the camera icon up and start moving around. Amazing what little bits and pieces you can grab in a screen shot.
Yea, except sheets weren't added until - I think - Leopard. So you don't have them in 10.3.

Squadaboom mac os. Any source for that claim? IIRC they where introduced with Mac OS X.
Agent Shift Mac Os 11
Sheets were indeed part of the original presentation of Aqua. So they were actually there even before the release of the first public version of Mac OS X.
However, the behavior of screen capture regarding sheets has evolved through the various versions of Mac OS X, which is what this hint is about.
My bad, that's correct. The behavior changed with Lion, I think, and prior to that they worked very differently with screen shots.
