The following command can be run from a Mac to allow service to run a simple Web server to allow connectivity to access the files located on /path/to/parcels. Very useful for spinning up a quick CM/CDH repro cluster and needing to post a repo to host CM/CDH/Other parcels.
$ cd /path/to/parcels; ifconfig | grep inet; sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

The breakdown of the above command:

2) Report all of the available network interfaces and display their IP address
3) Run the python package for SimpleHTTPServer on port 80.
