I have no idea how to do that... my biggest hurdle with getting this set up is that I've never done this before, so I am not sure what that even means exactly.

Some routers support it, and the other computers would have to be set up to connect to it. OS X itself has a VPN server, but there's no GUI for the configuration unless you get the OS X Server package. Or get a shareware front end like EasyVPN. Or try ShareTool I guess, which should essentially have the same effect, with the added benefit of passing Bonjour stuff over (which VPN doesn't support iirc).

That tells me how to suspend a process like Firefox which uses up battery by using 20-50% of the CPU whenever it is running.

But I fear terminal, and would like something that I can just launch with launchbar like the kill the dock command which fixes the spaces fuckery.

The terminal commands are apparently

kilall -STOP firefox-bin

To resume it, the command is:

kilall -CONT firefox-bin

How do I make these into an AppleScript so that I can LaunchBar it?

Or is the a ready made app that does this?

I think in AppleScript it's something like:

code:

do shell script "killall -STOP blah"

Otherwise just open Automator and use the shell script block in there. Pretty sure there's some free or shareware app that does what you want with a little fancy GUI too, but I forget the name. You could probably do a less fancy simple little GUI with Automator for it too.

I forget but I'm not sure a stopped process can free memory�(like if the system wants to swap it out), so there could be some side effects to it.

Oh and just noticed a typo on that page/your quote, it's "killall" not "kilall".

They say OS X can swap out the memory, but I don't care about that, I just care about battery life, and not having to restart Firefox which takes forever to load in the beginning, and requires all kinds of interaction before I can use it.

I don't know how to use Automator. Maybe easy to use for some, but it has never come close to doing anything I need.

If I just end up with an Palle Script that's fine because LaunchBar makes running an Applscript easy. I do not need a GUI, just a way to send those commands without spawning a terminal window and having to type in it. My typing sucks.

Here's a quick and dirty shell script I made. It works fine here, and is chmodded to 777, so it should work on yours too. It will pause the firefox process and wait for you to press a key before restarting it.

However, the firefox process was just called firefox for me, not firefox-bin. If you have issues, though, just edit it in textedit.

I says I do not have prvileges to use it, but Pasting the commands into Terminal worked. I had to add bin to the end.

Since the commands work in terminal, is there a way to make an AppleScript that will send the command
killall -STOP firefox-bin
to terminal, and run it?

I am perfectly happy with having one to stop it and another to continure it. Spaces is messed up enough that any pop-up window just might get lost anyway. I routinely have to force quit apps because pop-up dialog boxes get lost in the netherlands, Spaces cannot rasie them to the top level of a window that did not spawn them, and once the space is switched they no longer are accessible to the window that did spawn them.

(I just ran into the with Apple Script Editor which would not quit because it had spawned a pop-up window, that was not visible with all other apps hidden.)

Hmm, running

code:

chmod 777 kill.command

should sort it.

That said, I've rustled up an applescript for you, same basic premise. Find it here

If you're interested, this is the applescript code:

code:

tell application "Terminal"
	activate
	do script "killall -STOP firefox-bin"
	quit
end tell
set dialogResult to display dialog �
	"Click Restart to restart Firefox" buttons {"Restart"}
if button returned of dialogResult is "Restart" then
	tell application "Terminal"
		activate
		do script "killall -CONT firefox-bin"
		quit
	end tell
end if

(Anyone can feel free to tell me that the code is messy, it probably is, I rustled it together from some prior knowledge and apple's website)

I'm guessing the script has his ownership on it. Try:
chmod 777 PathTokill.command (or chmod 777 then drag the kill.command file in from the Finder if you're not sure of the path)

If that doesn't work, might also have to do:
chown yourshortusername PathTokill.command

That should make it do what you want, opening the kill.command file will open up a terminal window and run that command.

That's weird, I tried it now here and it just opened and closed the resulting app after it did it's thing, maybe something with the different checkboxes on saving?

Try these out, I don't have Firefox so I'm just assuming "firefox-bin" works, I tested it with System Prefs before and it worked how you seem to want here at least. (I'm on Lion, perhaps that makes a difference if you're not).

The Apple Script thing works perfectly. Thanks for taking the time!

(I am terminal allergic, because bad typing makes for bad things.)

Now I can suspend FF with a simple LaunchBar code! Now if I can fugure our what Opera, and Safari are called in terminal I'll be golden.

Well I think you can cut out the Terminal bits entirely by using the "do shell script" command, like so:

code:

do shell script "killall -STOP firefox-bin"
set dialogResult to display dialog �
	"Click Restart to restart Firefox" buttons {"Restart"}
if button returned of dialogResult is "Restart" then
	do shell script "killall -CONT firefox-bin"
end if

Now the Terminal doesn't open at all, just the restart dialog!

I use Byword on my iPhone and that syncs with both iCloud and Dropbox (not at the same time). It handles plain text, but you can jazz it up with Markdown syntax (which I love).

This looks exactly like the crash I was having testing some development stuff in Mountain Lion. I'm going to guess the drivers in the Lion build for MBPR and Mountain Lion are very similar which could cause this. If you *MUST* use chrome, try getting gfxcardstatus and forcing your laptop to the nvidia chipset only and see if it persists.

I'm getting a bit aggravated trying to figure out why a practically-new mid-2011 13" Air only gets ~5 hours of battery life during very light web browsing. All suggestions appreciated!

Firefox purportedly uses 5-10% CPU at all times while other browsers sit at <1% with the same number of tabs open. Is that considered a negligible amount or would it be worthwhile to give up Firefox for Safari or Chrome?

Also, what's up with the Dock using half a gig of memory? Is the Dock process really just the Dock does it serve other OS features as well? Should I even be concerned?

What brightness setting do you have it on? At least in my experience, the screen brightness is the biggest factor affecting battery life.

Also, that 500 MB seems really big. I haven't rebooted my machine in about 3 weeks and Dock is using 54 MB of RAM.

Thanks, I'll turn it down and see if it makes a difference. I probably should have thought of that myself! My last laptop was a Dell with a lovely matte screen and I suppose I may have been over-indulging a bit on screen brightness since I switched.

I believe the number of icons on my dock is reasonable. I do have a fair number of widgets on the Dashboard but it appears to have a separate process. Besides, they are mostly Stickies and I should hope those don't use too much memory.

As was mentioned, screen brightness is probably the #1 draw. After that I would say (assuming you don't routinely have three different browsers open at once) Flash and Facebook. Flash is genuinely a beast at sucking battery; try joining the HTML5 YouTube beta at http://www.youtube.com/html5 and see if that works for you, and maybe install ClickToPlugin (for Safari at least).

Opening Facebook is just like dumping a fresh turd in your machine and seriously most of the time when my machine is running like old mayonnaise while being hot enough to cook eggs I'll check and it's because I've left a Facebook tab open somewhere.
