Copies resource forks.
For example, to back up jmartin’s user file to another hard disk named NewDrive, type the
following:
ditto -v -V -rsrc /Users/jmartin /Volume/NewDrive
Connecting Through the Serial Port
You can connect a portable computer or terminal computer to the serial port of your Xserve
and use command-line tools over that connection to change settings on the server.
To make the connection, you’ll need a serial cable and a terminal emulation program that
allow you to set these specifications:
m DB9 connector
m 8-bit
m no parity
m 1 stop bit
m 9600 kilobits per seconds (kbps)
You can use a terminal emulation program such as ZTerm to communicate with the server
over this type of connection. The Console application can’t be used for this procedure.
Once you’ve connected successfully, you can use the Network Setup Tool described in
Chapter 5 to change the server’s network settings.
Finding a Server on the Network
To log in to the server, you’ll need to know one of the following pieces of information about
the server:
m IP address
m DNS name
m hardware address
m computer model
Then you can use the Server Assistant Searcher command to display information about the
matching servers that respond to the command. Your missing server should be in this list.
