Can I set up a way to automatic reboot after a kernal panic?

Hey,
I'm working with Mac OS X Server (10.4.9) that is on a 4x2.5 GHz PowerPC G5. I been looking for a way to set up my server to automatically reboot after a kernel panic. Can any one show me the way?
Thanks
Mike

We use to use a 'spare' server for testing but could be pushed into production. For when IBM needed to come in and replace a faulty card.
Get on-site contract, and order an Xserve and use the old G5 Quad workhorse as spare... but you said this is not your usual company, so maybe that don't see things like an IT might.
Swap out RAM for one. Install ECC which Quad can use. And those FAQ lists make a good spreadsheet of what happens.
You might just start with Apple Hardware Test and a memory test.
Warmer weather, I assume it is in climate controlled room?
Have you read up on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com reports on Quad owners and liquid cooling? I know some that went through three motherboards (on-site swap) and a few that walked away with Mac Pro because it was determined the patient reached the point of not being able to be revived.

  • How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim files ?

    How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim the two files to size when fading between them? Thanks

    Hi, thanks for the reply. What I meant was that in Pro Tools, you can highlight an area between two tracks and crossfade. Then the files are exactly trimmed automatically so there is no excess overlap of the edges of both files. In Logic it seems to leave the overlap, and this can be a problem when you accidently click the wrong place and the underlying file is bought to the front, changing the crossfade area. I wish it to trim the excess so there is no danger of the lower file edges coming forward.

  • Can I set up e-mail to automatically download attached files from a trusted source

    can I set up e-mail to automatically download attached files from a trusted source to a desktop folder?  Can't find the option (if one exists) in "Rules."

    Have you checked Mail > Preferences > General > Downloads folder - change that to desktop. That should do it (that is my setting and it works here).

  • I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

    I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
    My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
    When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

    I found another way to correct this...
    1)  Select Message, then go to Preferences,
    2)  a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
    3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
    4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name.  This may likely be your Apple ID  ****@me.com
    5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
    6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
    7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
    I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

  • My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic.  I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

    My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic.  I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

    Leonie,
    Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance!  So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
    I restored from a time machine back up.
    History of Failure:
    I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured.  My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead.  I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery.  I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured.  After that the computer would not turn on.  It would try to boot then it would shut off.  I even tried to safe boot to no avail.  I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up.  So thats what I did.
    Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open.  I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine.  I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems. 
    When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch."  I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”."  The only option is "Quit"
    Both libraries are version 3.2.3
    Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
    I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
    I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
    I hope that you may be able to provide some insight.  Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!

  • Can I set my Macbook to open automatically all video files with VLC?

    I have some movies that I have download and they automatically open with quick time. But then the message error comes about because it can not open it!
    Now my question is can i set the computer to open all Video with VLC?
    I have a macbook Mac OX Lion 10.7.
    Thank you

    Choose any one of the files you want to have opened by VLC by clicking once on it (highlight it, don't open it).
    Right/control click on it and choose Get info. Or press -i
    In the Info dialog box, select the pop up menu under "Open with:"
    Choose VLC from the list.
    Click the "Change all" button just below. You may need to confirm this.
    That should do it.

  • Oracle VM 3.1 Server automatically reboots after - stopping it

    When I try to stop my OVM 3.1 server, using shutdown, or init 0 the server stops, but automatically boots again....
    Anyone run into the same problem?
    Thanks for all your suggestions

    The OVM server? Yes OVM Server :)
    I've not seen this before. It could be that the hardware doesn't support the poweroff signal from the OS. Although I'm not sure if it is that much of an issue, as you rarely turn off / on the OVM servers themselves. You can easily power it off if it does a reset not a poweroff.The reboots after "init 0" disappeared once after I added a third NIC to my box, and dedicated it for virtual machines
    ie, my Windows 7 box, on which I setup the entire VM infrastructure using VirtualBox has 3 NICs. Two for the VM Server, and the third one for the VM Manager.
    The second NIC with VM Server configured to handle the traffic from Virtual Machines, isolating the 1st NIC for all other VM Server traffic. No more rebooting with VM Server and always shuts down with a "init 0"
    Hope this info is useful for few others out there
    regards,
    raj
    Adding something I missed with last post
    Following sequence is always used to shutdown the VM Server as my setup has NFS shares setup from VM Manager server itself
    1. Shutdown VM Server first (Stops all heartbeats etc gracefully)
    2. Stop OVMM service on VM Manager server
    3. Shutdown VM Manager Server

  • How can I set the audio conference to automatically start AS HOST when the meeting starts?

    I can easily setup an audio conference for any meeting, and set that conference to start.  However, there doesn't seem to be a way for the conference to start as the moderator (or, host) when the meeting starts.  This means I still have to dial in to the conference with a land line or cell phone and enter my host code to get the audio conference started.
    The only audio conference provider at my company is The Conferencing Center.  I don't seem to have a TCC account.  What do I do to get this working?  It's nuts to have to use a land line just to get the audio going.

    There are a number of integrated audio providers other than TCC, and those can be enabled in the Admin section of Connect. However, using the fully integrated bridge does still require that a Host/Leader be dialled in before audio will broadcast (or something other than hold music).
    If you don't want to have to call in, I'd recommend that you use Universal Voice to tell Connect the dial in steps and give it the Host/Leader pin.Setting Up Universal Voice - Adobe Connect User Community.
    The downside to this is that there will no longer be a dial out option for participants.

  • Can I set a text field to automatically type in caps when I have converted a form to fillable in ADO

  • Can I Set Accounts This Way?

    I have 3 accounts on this iMac...mine (administrator), my wife, and Guest.
    Is it possible to set things up so that if I, for example, walk away from my Mac for a time, when the computer is awakened from screensaver or sleep mode, it displays the three accounts and requires login to the selected one?
    Setting the Security System Preference to "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver" is of limited value in my house, as it would require passing out my password just to restart into a different user account.
    (As may be obvious, I haven't started looking into Accounts until recently...there may be obvious things I don't understand as yet).

    The problem with auto logout is that it will close all of the users' applications and documents after the period of inactivity, which mostly defeats the purpose of fast user switching.
    I have a couple of more ideas for you.
    There is a screensaver called Ciao, that works like a normal screensaver, but fast switches to the login window when it activates. If you use this it would cover the wake-from-screensaver problem.
    As for the wake from sleep issue, I have set up an Automator script on a hot key that does two things in one shot: It switches to the login window and then puts my Mac to sleep. Whenever I want to sleep my Mac I just press command-F13 and it's done. The next person to wake it up sees the login window. Ask me for more help on how to set it up if you like.
    If you use both of these in tandem it should do what you want.

  • How can I set firefox to stack my tabs one after the other so that I do not have to move through tabs using the buttons at the ends

    when I open multiple tabs which do not fit the tab strip I have to move through tabs using scroll buttons. is there any way way I can stack the tabs on each other or suggest me a add-on which can help me achieve this

    You can consider to access the tabs via the list all tabs button.
    You see the "List All Tabs" button in current Firefox versions if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.
    * Permanent List-all-tabs Button: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/permanent-listalltabs/
    The Custom Tab Width extension adds CSS rules to adjust the tab width settings as set by the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    * Custom Tab Width: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-tab-width/
    You can achieve the same with code in userChrome.css.
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Curve 9360 won't install apps! Just automatically reboots after 'installing' and hasn't done it..

    Blackberry Curve 9360. New device received yesterday after water damage to my old one. I upgraded to the latest OS and AppWorld yesterday and everything has worked absolutely perfect. Except every time I try and install or upgrade an app it reaches the end of the installation bar then reboots itself and when I look after the reboot I find the upgrade or app hasn't been installed. It does this with every app I try and install. I've tried working on just Wi-Fi or Network and it makes no difference. Can anyone help? has anyone had this before? Incredibly frustrating considering I've just got a new one back!!!
    Thanks!

    Hey ChrisWatkins93,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    How much free memory is on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone?  Go to Options>Status to find this information.
    To determine if this a operating system issue, I suggest following all the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    Then test out BlackBerry App World™ afterwards to see if the issue is resolved.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.
