JellyfiSSH is a GUI frontend to the ssh utility. In the Terminal, ssh allows you to connect to and operate other computers. With JellyfiSSH you don’t need to memorize all the command line options; you can choose them within JellyfiSSH and then launch a Terminal session. With JellyfiSSH you can also create ssh tunnels. A couple of uses of ssh tunnels are to relay mail through your server even if your hotel network blocks outgoing mail and to control another computer with VNC over a secure, encrypted channel.

ThisService “lets you turn any command line script or AppleScript into a system service, accessed from the Services menu.”

The developer took the request from John Gruber and ran with it. He “built a tool to easily turn any command line script (shell script, script written in Ruby, Perl, Python or PHP) or any AppleScript responding to a certain handler into a full-blown first-class service, complete with name and keyboard shortcut. ”

Don’t worry, he has some example scripts for you to play with.

One of the most popular development platforms for running web applications is LAMP — Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (or Python or Perl.) MAMP plays on this acronym to bring Apache, MySQL, and PHP to your Mac. It couldn’t be any easier than with this app.

We’ve posted screencasts previously about running Apache and PHP/MySQL on your Mac. With MAMP it’s even easier. Just drag MAMP to your Applications folder and double click it.

One great reason to install MySQL and PHP is to run a blog. WordPress is our favorite blogging platform, and it requires MySQL and PHP. Here’s a screencast on how to install MAMP and WordPress on a Mac.

(One caveat about MAMP: it’s configured by default to run on port 8888. If you install it on a production server, for example on a box at MacMiniColo.net, you’ll probably want to change to port 80.)

Lithium is a very powerful app for monitoring servers and just about everything else. This app won’t be for everyone, but for those of you who need something like this you’ll LOVE it.

I saw this application in a demonstration at Macworld. I was so impressed with it and I was really happy to see that they offer a “lite” version that only limits the number of devices you can monitor. But if you have a small network in your house or you’ve used our tutorials to set up a Mac mini as a server then this will work just fine. It does take a bit of a set up, but they offer videos for setting it up on Mac OS X.

From the developer’s site:

LITHIUM Network Monitoring Platform is an integrated and feature rich network, server and appliance monitoring and management platform. Designed to provide an end-to-end solution, Lithium includes automated device monitoring, out-of-the-box support for SNMP and an integrated trouble-ticket case management system.
The platform is built around a scalable, modular architecture that incorporates a Unix-based server-side component (Core) to perform automated device monitoring, data collection, analysis and storage and to manage the multi-user case management system. Core is available for Mac OS X (Client/Server) and Linux (Debian, Fedora, RHEL and CentOS).

Windows and Mac OS X clients (Console) provide the user with a graphically rich and interactive monitoring and management console that delivers integration and efficient work-flow beyond the capabilities of web-based applications alone. A web-based interface (Web) delivers an anywhere, anytime, portal to view all network monitoring data without the need for client applications from any web-enabled device.

Screen Sieve is a nifty tool for Mac OS X that lets you search the contents of the currently active window at any time. It highlights all occurrences of characters, words and phrases as you type, without requiring modifications to applications.

The “Command+F” works good to find things in a document or webpage, but there’s one thing I like about this app. “Screen Sieve doesn’t force you to change context. When you invoke the Find command, your window frequently ends up scrolling up or down. This makes you lose track of where you are. Screen Sieve simply highlights the visible matches, and ignores the rest until you decide to scroll further up or down.”
