I suppose it would depend on how many IP addresses are in your arp table. If you are retrieving mac addresses, that is the only place it can get them. netstat is not going out on the network and checing every network device. Bob S > On Mar 30, 2017, at 04:57 , Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-liveco

Re: shell("netstat -i") has getting slow on MacOS10.x

I don't have a mac available at the moment, but can't you use ifconfig for this? Most likely with no arguments then parse the results. If the results are similar to linux (never a safe bet, but worth a check) there will be a line with something like HWaddr and then the mac address. On Thu, Mar

That works great for the default adapter. I think Tiemo is looking for a way to enumerate ALL adapter mac addresses. I have like 24 entries using netstat. Some are ipv6 addresses, others ipv4, and still others have no mac address at all. Of course I am using Parallels and have 2 physical network

Yes, using ifconfig I get exact 1 MAC (see Ken Rays script as Klaus pointed out). I don't see a parameter to get all at once, but I could perhaps call ifconfig 4 times with lo0, en0,en1 and fw0. Or I will try to use "networksetup -listallhardwareports”, as Marc pointed out Don't ask me why I need

Place a grc of the right size behind the image. Make sure the grc is set to opaque. Group the grc and the image and place your mouseup handler in the group. If they click a visible portion of the image it'll fire the groups mouseup, if they click a trasnarent spot, the (blended and invisible) grc
