How to empty the trash? The process end without delete

I need help on how to empty the trash - it is 48900 items to be deleted and the process ends without deleting anythng.

OK, I see.  have you checked your "Computer" and see if there's something mounted ?  Do you know what I mean ?  Go to the Finder menu, and click on Go > Computer.  At the bottom there might be something that is blocking the items you can't delete normally.  You need to EJECT whatever is mounted there, before the blocked items can be released.

  • How to find the process responsible for deleting files

    Hi,
    We have a process which stores a file in a particular location say /tmp/mydir/. The files getting stored in this directory are getting deleted. Is there any way to find which process is responsible for deleting the file. Is there any way we can truss on the directory/file and check which process accessed it or deleted it.

    solquestions wrote:
    I tried: dtrace -n syscall::unlink:entryThat one looks good to me.
    While it picks up the unlinking(I tested by doing a rm of some files), I could not get the pid of the process doing such rm.....(or maybe the process exited...)You haven't asked it to print that information. Try:
    dtrace -n 'syscall::unlink:entry {trace(pid);trace(execname)}'
    I'd like to see the process/adpp/program, calling a particular system call....unlink, close, open etc etc...The above should do that.
    I wonder if dtrace can capture both library calls and system calls......Dtrace doesn't capture so much as it fires on probes. But yes, both libraries and system calls can have probes available.
    It seems functionality for capturing system calls from a process are more documrnte, and with examples, than, those asking for finding which system calls get opened by whom....
    I think all you're missing is adding some information to the trace output.
    Is getting unlink enough to find "what is removing files?"You might want to check rename as well.
    How do I drrace for "anything that touched taht file" or, "anything that touches files in a directory"That's actually a somewhat difficult task for dtrace. First, you might download the "Dtrace toolkit". One of the tools in there is "opensnoop". It reports on file opens and you can examine the script to see how it does it. You can even give a filename and it only reports when that filename is accessed.
    But the main problem is that files can have many names, and dtrace is just looking at the name in many cases. So "/etc/passwd" can be called "/etc/passwd", or if you're in /usr it could be called "../etc/passwd", or any of a variety of names. It's not too hard to set a probe predicate to fire only on a pattern match, so you could set it to only fire when the filename is matched.
    Good luck, and see if any of the existing tools in the toolkit are close enough that you can use them directly or modify them slightly.

  • How to know the process chain start time & end time?

    HI all .
    how to know the process chain start time & end time at the table level as well as in RSPC level .
    regards,
    Srinivas

    Hello,
    there is a program "/ssa/bwt" which will help you to know the exact time when the process was started and ended.
    but the thing is you have to provide name of the process chain with the date at which it was executed.
    another option is - you can double click on start process and on the last process of the chain.
    here, you will get both the timings... Start time of the start process will be the start time of your PC and end time of the last process in the chain will be end time of your PC.
    Hope this will help you.

    Hi Reddy,
    You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
    1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute  > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
    2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi
    The app Leopard Cache Cleaner has a command which will sort this out. Download from http://www.northernsoftworks.com/leopardcachecleaner.html
    It's shareware but will work in demo mode for a long time - certainly long enough to sort out this problem.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

  • How to empty the spam box on Mail

    How to empty the "Spam box" on Mail (Mavericks) when the function on the menu bar is grey (instead of black)?

    Mail Preferences, Junk Mail. Set it to Move it to the Junk mailbox.
    If you don't have the Junk Mail preferences set to move it to the Junk mailbox, then that item will not be active.
    If you don't have that set, the spam is likely being moved by your email provider.
    If you don't want to change the settings, try selecting all of it in the Junk Mailbox and delete it. That would move it to Trash, I think. However, I don't have any junk email at the moment to try that.

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,

  • HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

    HI ALL,

    Hi,
    First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
    For Rescheduling
    RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
    click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
    For terminating active chain
    You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
    The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
    Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
    But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

    Hello,
    Try this....
    Double click on your process chain. Via the menu select:
    Process chain > Attributes > Display components
    Select F4 (possible entries)
    At the bottom of the window you will find a create icon
    to make your own component.
    After you created it, assign it to your process chain.
    Don't forget to save the process chain.

  • How to test the process chains

    hi sap gurus,
    Can anybody tell me how to test the Process chains before i load real time data,i run process chains every morning 6.15 am,before that i want to test every process is linked to another.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Scheduling the process is the only way to check whether it is running fine or not. The process chains should be checked first in the Dev server and then in the QA server before transported to Prod.
    You can also check the process chain using the "check" button to see if the processes are in the proper sequence or not.
    There is a "log" button to keep track of the progress of the chain
