OS X Server :: Processes Started In Terminal End When Terminal Closed?
Jan 29, 2008I'm running Symantec Backup Agent on our mac osx server. I start the agent in the terminal (./agent.be). It returns a notification that it started the service, however, it doesn't return to the prompt. Closing the terminal gives a warning that the process will be closed if the terminal is closed. Closing it does kill the process. Ctrl+c to return to the prompt also kills the process. So it's as if once the process is started in the terminal, nothing can be altered.
I am not much of a mac guy so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Anyone have any advice on how to handle this so the process is ALWAYS running?
OS X Technologies :: Unix Processes Go To Sleep Before Completing
Apr 18, 2012IÂ regularly run unix commands remotely, or on network-attached drives - exampels are rsync; rm (-r) etc.Â
For the following assume its on a NAS drive, mounted to 'Volumes/drive"Â
On large jobs, i find that these processes do two things that i cant explain, nor do i like:Â
1. they seem to sorta slow down and stall occasionally. I knwo that's vague
2. they stop running when the computer goes to sleepÂ
Now, the real questyion is, since an active proces is underway, why did it go to sleep?Â
I do have "wake on network activity" checked.Â
I was able to mostly eliminate this problem by turning off "sleep after X minutes" and moving the energy saver slider to "never"Â

OS X Technologies :: Unable To Open Terminal Window?
May 9, 2012I am trying to do research on how to fix my current problem of not being able to open my terminal window. When attempting to do so I get the following error message:Â
You are unauthorized to run this application.
The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.Â
I looked at some previous posts and some people said download iterm2 and put the following command: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash my_username. After this enter password and it should be fixed. However when doing that I get the following response: SC is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.Â
Couple of things, firstly SC (which is me) is the administrator to this computer (this is my computer and there are no other users on it).Â

OS X :: Stopping Startup Processes That Are Not Under The System Preferences Users Panel
Feb 21, 2010I use the latest macos on a late 2009 mini.
I use a program called smart response. It drives electronic whiteboards and a wireless response system.
I use it at home, and I never actually connect my computer to the hardware. I use it to prepare stuff at home.
Is there a way to stop these processes from loading? I can kill them, but as a mac os newbie, I have no idea how to take control of them in the mac.
The windows equivalent would have been to go and disable the startup process under the administrative tab in the control panel.

Created a plist file (reproduced below) and saved to ~/Library/Launch Agents, but the command isn't executed either at the specified time or when the agent is loaded via launchctl. If I change the command to a simple Applescript test: osascript -e 'tell Application "Finder" to display dialog "hello"'Â
It runs correctly as a launch agent when loaded and as the specified time Which means there's something wrong with the first command (find). But the command runs as written when executed manually in the terminal. Â

Mac Mini :: System Hangs At Gray Screen On Shut Down / Beach Ball Delaying Certain Processes
Sep 1, 2009I have the 2.53ghz with 4gigz of Ram MacMini from Xmas 2009.A few of you know that I had been trying out different SSD's before finally jumping on with OWC 60gig SSD. I've had it for about 2 months now and it works great except I've recently been having my computer freeze and the beach ball of death appears constantly when on Safari and sometimes iMovie. After shutting down the computer manually, sometimes booting up will leave me at the grey screen for minutes before i shut it down and wait maybe 30 mins before i fire it up again, which usually works 9/10 times.
I also noticed the beach ball delaying certain processes like loading Safari or a webpage. For example, I have my OWC External hooked up via FireWire800 with just my music and videos, however occasionally if im browsing thru websites or loading a program it'll cycle the external and have the beachball as if trying to load something before proceeding. It is more an annoyance than a problem.
I ran disk utility on all my drives as well as the Apple Hardware Test CD to see if maybe my Logic Board was the problem. I did the general test as well as the indepth test, both show negative signs of a problem.Can anyone shed some light on what could be the problem?Should I put the factory drive back in and take it to Apple to run their diagnostic test?Could the SSD be failing? (I could RMA it, but didn't know if its an Apple issue vs OWC)

OS X Technologies :: Symbolic Links Get Corrupted By System Process?
Apr 20, 2012I am having a problem with symbolic links getting corrupted. I have a new Mac Pro running 10.7.3.
I have defined symbolic links:
/Users/walker/G2S -> /Volumes/L2A/G2S [this is pointing to a different partition on the same JBOD RAID]
/home -> /Users
The second link was created after unmounting /home and removing it from the /etc/auto_master file. Both symbolic links worked for several days. But then for some reason, without a reboot, the links became corrupted:
> pwd
/Users/walker
> ls -al G2S
lrwxr-xr-x 1 walker staff 16 Mar 24 03:08 G2S -> X??G???GÒ?G???G
> cd G2S
G2S: No such file or directory.
Same nonsensical definition for /home link. I repeat, this did not happen after a reboot. It first happened on /home. I thought that might have been related to a new OS handling of the "/home" label. So I deleted the /home link and did a clean reboot. The G2S link was created after that reboot, not before.
After the above two problems happened, I created a new symbolic link:
/Users/walker/G2S2 -> /Volumes/L2A/G2S
I then did not use this new symbolic link in any of my processing scripts. A few weeks went by, then this link somehow got corrupted too:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 walker staff 16 Apr 2 17:22 G2S2 -> G???G1?Gu?G
How symbolic links are managed on a Mac (any process that controls their linking?), or For example, could it be due to bad RAM? I have 32 GB.

OS X Technologies :: Time Machine Stops Backing Up To External Disk - System Freezes
Feb 27, 2012I have used Time Machine to backup my data on an external hard drive with ample space for the past year. However, for the past month or so when plug in my hard drive and try to back up my files using Time Machine, it completely freezes my computer, to the point where I need to hold down the power button for 10+ seconds and completely restart. At first I thought this might be due to not enough RAM, but discovered it does this even if all other programs are closed.

Applications :: Unable To Use Terminal / Terminal Stucks At Blank Login Window
Oct 20, 2009Anybody see this before? I opened up Terminal.app and the window is completely blank. There is nothing in it whatsoever. Looks as if bash never started. The title bar simply says "Terminal — login — 80x24". I can type whatever I want in the Terminal window like it's a text document and nothing happens. If I restart the computer, this seems to fix the problem, but it seems to only be a temporary fix as the issue happens again soon after.

OS X :: Unable To Install Terminal App - Run Terminal As Admin?
Aug 19, 2010I'm on a standard user account and I would really like to install icalbuddy which is a terminal app. When I install apps normally I simply have to provide a admin name and pw, but this doesn't work when it is a terminal app because it requires that the 'su' command be run.
So I thought that I could run terminal as admin through 'su - admin' and then install. But of course the admin account doesn't have access to the user folder where the installer is located. I just can't win.
