Just because Apple makes a move to support a more modern technology, doesn't mean they are going resect it from their base code so it's not longer available in future versions. This post is basically a note to self for command syntax when switching back-n-forth. Then a new project at work required everyone to get Macs, so it was time to learn. Until late 2018, I’d been a Windows guy most of my life. You can use it as a client (connect to an old server with AFP support), but you cannot share a folder from Mojave/Catalina with AFP. Mac (Bash) to Windows (Command Prompt) Mappings. AFP is no longer supported for file sharing.cron is deprecated meaning that while still supported, there's no more development on it and admins/users should start migrating to the new tool(s) ( launchd).It's also important to note that there is a difference between deprecated and no longer supported. In addition, /.bashlogout may be used to perform tasks at shell exit. On the terminal run: chmod +x yourbashfile Finally, you will need to make sure OS X opens the file using the Terminal and not the application that created the file e.g. Each user can also create their own /.bashprofile and /.bashrc files. /usr/bin/env bash REST OF YOUR CODE HERE Next, youll need to change the permissions. The /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc files are used by default on the system. We're in Catalina now an cron is still around and fully functional. As in Linux, macOS stores its variables in environment files. As for anecdotal evidence, I cite cron it has been deprecated since Snow Leopard in favor of launchd. There's no "official word" on something that's not even projected to happen. Is there any official word out there regarding this? At the very least (.and FWIW), any anecdotal experience coming from beta installations? Apple switched to ZSH for this same reason.
#Bash on mac license
The reason that Bash is "so old" is because of the GPL license version. It is still current and the version that ships with macOS is perfectly fine. ZSH is the default for shell for new users in Catalina, however, for existing users, the Bash shell remains the users' current shell.īash is not deprecated in any way. There's some misconceptions that need to be cleared up: In Catalina, Apple made ZSH the default shell, however, macOS retained the (now deprecated) Bash.
