Welcome to Apple Discussions, Parsipal.
Try *ps aux | less* or *ps -ef* for an expanded list. You really should be asking in the Unix Forum.

Activity Monitor: How to know what processes to turn off?

I cant seem to find something like a glossary for the processes that appear in Activity Monitor.
I get the idea for using the AM - to find out what processes are running and how much memory they are using, however, I just don't know what processes are "suspicious", uneccary, good, bad or whatever. Anyone know of some resource to help me know what I should turn off?
Many thanks!

Ah, in that case, watch your CPU usage.
When Activity Monitor starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom.
For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the Menubar.
Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
When the slowdown occurs, see if something changes significantly, especially if the +% idle+ goes to near zero. If that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and/or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
You may also want to select the +System Memory+ tab towards the bottom. Keep an eye on the total of Free and Inactive memory (if they're near zero, you may need more), and the +Page outs+ (if that's high, it's another indication you may need more memory).

How to have Weblogic and BAM process run in background

I ssh to the Weblogic (also the BAM) server via putty and use below command to start the weblogic and BAM:
/opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/startWebLogic.sh
/opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1
And then I have no way to have the weblogic and BAM run in backgroup as it needs to ask me for login and password. I cannot close the ssh connection neither otherwise the weblogic and BAM processes will die
Clay

Hi Clay,
Both these points can be easily handled.
To start admin server enter the below command with the &. This & will make the process run in background.
. /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/startWebLogic.sh &
If you want the logs to be redirected to some file then you can use a nohup as given below
nohup . /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/startWebLogic.sh &
Same holds good for bam serevr also
. /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1 &
OR
nohup . /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1 &
It will respond to you with the process-id, you can just hit an enter and safely close the putty session while the server is still up & running.
To stop the same, in a new putty session you can enter the below. Here you need not(will not) give &
. /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/stopWebLogic.sh weblogic welcome1 t3://hostname:port
. /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1 t3://hostname:port
Password:
As you see above we are not passing user-id/password while starting the server. We need to create a file named boot.properties and place it in /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/security directory. security directoy will not be present, you have to create it.
Contents of boot.properties file will be only 2lines as below
username=weblogic
password=welcome1
On next startup server will encrypt the password.
Same boot.properties file has to be created in /opt/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/bam_server/security location.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,

What is the maximum width, that is allowed for report being displayed in background.
Kindly help and points will be rewarded. its really urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,

I have an older iMac (early 2008) that eats all my bandwidth when i turn it on. I don't know what's running. is there a fix?

I have an iMac (early 2008) 2.4ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, 250GB hdd, OS X 10.9.4. About 8 months ago, we got a call from our Internet provider (Cox) telling us we were were eating up about 250GB of bandwidth a month, and they were going to start charging us extra for it. I monitored it for a few days and found that as soon as i turned on the Mac, it started eating up bandwidth. Took it to the Genius bar, but they were clueless.
I just bought a refurb iMac (late 2009) 2.66ghz, Intel Core i5, 8 GB ram, 1TB hdd, OS X 10.9.4. Should I transfer all my files over to this new one from the old iMac, or should I try to get the problem fixed before the transfer. Also, I'm hoping to salvage the old iMac, and let my wife use it once I've got it fixed.

Most often BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox, or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup or file-sync software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the View menu, if not already selected, and also select the Network tab.
Click the heading of the Sent Bytes column in the process table to sort the entries by bandwidth usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Repeat with the Rcvd Bytes column.

Intel GMA X3100: could you guys let me know what games run well?

i purchased a macbook 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and was wondering if you guys could let me know some games you may have had experiance with that run within a decent range of quality (that also isnt 27 years old) with the Intel GMA X3100 processor. im not a HUGE gamer looking to play doom 3 or anything. just browseing the market, trying to see what games i should even consider looking into.
so far looks like the upcomming game Spore will run and so will age of empires 3.

See these benchmarks:

N95 - Infrared Process Runs in Background Flatteni...

After running the infrared to sync Outlook and removing the phone it eventyally stopps the infrared connection (well so it would seam untill)... The N95 then continues to heat up and eventually flattens the battery. I can only presume that the infrared process is not fully turning off.
Is there a way to stop the infrared process without re-booting the phone?
Hopefully this will be fixed in a new firmware version that gets authorised by Orange in the UK.

How to know the process code of an IDOC

Hi All,
If I want to know the process code of a standard SAP IDOC, how do I do it. Is it we42 or any table/transaction, which can show me all the possible process codes for an IDOC.
I need to know this so that I can use this accordingly in my partner profile. ( I do not have any idoc in mind, but its avery general question. How do I know what process code belongs to which IDOC)
Many thanks

Hi,
U can check using We41 and We42 tcode for both inbound and outbound case. For each process code a function module is attached check the same for required functionality.
WE60 and WE64 transaction.will list the std IDOC in SAP.

How to find out what is using the native heap of a process running a JVM?

Hello,
I am not sure where to post this question so I am starting here.
I am troubleshooting a Java application using some native calls (32 bits Java running on Solaris 10). The size of the process (as reported by prstat) is slowly increasing day after day.
The size of the 'Java heap' is fixed at the start (-Xms and -Xmx are set to the same value on the command line when launching the Java app) and the GC is workling fine. No memory complaints from the Java side of the application.
It is the size of the 'native' heap (as reported by 'pmap') that is increasing:
root@mas01 # pmap 5382
5382:/apps/java/bin/java -server -Xms207M -Xmx207M -XX:MaxNewSize=24M -XX:N
00010000 64K r-x-- /apps/jdk1.5.0_19/bin/java
0002E000 16K rwx-- /apps/jdk1.5.0_19/bin/java
00032000 3896K rwx-- [ heap ]
00400000 389120K rwx-- [ heap ]
18000000 2784K rwx-- [ heap ]
DCAF4000 48K rw--R [ stack tid=169 ]
DCBF6000 40K rw--R [ stack tid=161 ]
DCCF8000 32K rw--R [ stack tid=160 ]
My first reaction was to search for a memory leak. Found a minor leak in the JVM with the ::findleak function (called within the mdb debugger). Upgraded to a later release of Java 5 (Java 1.5.0_19) where the leak is fixed but the heap is still increasing.
Many parts of the process allocate memory in the native heap. The JVM itself, the native calls made to a C++ library part of our Java application and maybe also some 3rd party software.
I would like to know what is the best way to find out what is consuming more and more memory in the native heap. I started looking a DTraces but I am new to this. I also thought maybe the Solaris Perftools might be of use but I never used them. Before plunging into a tool more or less blindly, I am asking for advices on how to tackle this issue. Can someone recommend a tool/method to see what is allocated in the heap?
Regards,
Stéphan

After googling a lot I managed to run my application with libumem, generated a core file and succeeded to find some leak with mdb even if ::findleak reported nothing.
Does anyone knows if the ::findleak (you need libumem and mdb) is supposed to find leak in the native part of the memory and a Java application using the JNI interface?

Stéphan

Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
- I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
- When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
- The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
- Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
- I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.
Thank You

Is there a way to know what report is being processed ?

In XI R2 / Webi Report Server, or XI 3.x / Webi Processing Server, is there a way to know what object is being processed ?
For example currently, I can see thru system tool like "Process Explorer" that "wireportserver.exe" has been using a lot of CPU and increasing memory for several minutes. I feel that a report is too large or complicated, but which one ?
In audit database, I can only see events like "document read", but no "begin of refresh process".
So, do I have to wait for the process to be finished to find a "document refreshed" and know what was going on ?
Moreover, at least in R2, if user cancels his refresh request (by closing his browser for example), of if request takes too much time and reaches timeout, no audit event corresponding to this refresh request will ever be recorded. In this case, I have no information at all about what report was making the report server taking so much CPU and RAM. It has just a "read" event, but so have a lot of other reports having been read during the same period of time.
Ideally, I would just have to select the latest "begin of refresh" events without "end of refresh" to know which report are currently being processed. But unfortunately the first one doesn't exist.
Has anyone an idea to get this information anyway ?
Thanks

Hello Seb
Thanks for your reply.
I was aware of this instance manager in 3.x.
In R2, I was also able to do the same with a request thru the query manager.
Unfortunately in both versions , I haven't found yet how to find informations on report being refreshed by users directly, and not by job server.
I anyone has an idea...
In R2 I have tested the -trace option of report server : it generates a big amount of lines in trace files, but that seem completely useless : no information on what report is being processed..
I don't understant why this information is so complicated to get. It could be so helpfull...

I want to know what happened to my ipod cause for exemple, when I turn on sometimes all the screen appears with lines and everything look like lines and I have to turn off again..

I want to know what happened to my ipod, cause after a while that it was off when I want to run in on it gets lines, like if that would be broken and I have to turn off again..

What generation is your iPod? My sister's 2g/3g(I'm not sure which) was doing something similar, but it would put a different graphic on the screen every time. We took it in to the apple store and they didn't determine what it was. One thing they said to try was to restore it and gradually add content on to see if it's an app or something loaded on it. If that doesn't work then they said it's probably something in the software or firmware. They gave her the option of getting one exactly like the one she had or getting the new one like I have. She ended up getting the new one on sale at target.

Run unit test in comand line

Hello everybody,
I try to run existing unit test in comand line:
ututil -run -test -name ROW_COUNT -repo unit_test_repos -db finch
where
ROW_COUNT - simple unit test
unit_test_repos - unit test repository, which i create using tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/sqldev/r30/sqldev_unit_test/sqldev_unit_test_otn.htm)
finch - owner of procedure, which i try to test
after execution this command i receive this message:
C:\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin>ututil -run -test -name ROW_COUNT -repo unit_test_repos -db finch
SEVERE Error: No Repository was found on the selected connection, you need to create a repository. - oracle.dbtools.unit_test.UtRepositoryManager.openConnectionWithChecks(UtRepositoryManager.java:214)
Unable to open repositoryafter that i try to execute command with another parametres (instead of finch i use sys-user), but receive equal result.
what`s wrong?
in Help document i find next:
The following example runs a unit test named AWARD_BONUS in a Windows environment where SQL Developer is installed under Program Files. (Note that test and suite names are case sensitive for the command-line interface.) This example uses the repository connection for user unit_test_repos and runs the test as user fred.
cd c:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
ututil -run -test -name AWARD_BONUS -repo unit_test_repos -db fred"
fred is connection which exist in oracle sql developer interface? what kind of privilegies should fred has?
In oracle sql deevloper exist several connection to another servers. i`t can be reason of error?
I trying in oracle sql developer interface select finch as manager of unit tests (tools - unit_test - manage_users to the next i select in dropdown list "finch" and granted needed privilegies for him) , but result was`t changed.
thanks.

It looks like you need to spark up SQL Developer, create a repository connection and assign that in the Unit Test Menu. It will walk you through creating the repository and then you can refer to that from the command line.

Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook? I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook).
So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

I had the same issue and figured it out. First you have to start Outook as administrator. To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator. Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
Select the add-in and click Enable.
Click Close.
Then you need to activate it.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
Click OK.
