Dropbox process running under root.

Hello people i just checked activity monitor for a process and i saw the process "dbfseventsd" and i google it and it came up that it is a dropbox process, and it was running under the root user and it was a 32bit process. Can anyone tell me why that process was there note the process is not always there when i use dropbox.
Thanks
Alex

Hello All
Since a couple days, in my Home appears DCQd7rmUW9.tmp. It is a temp file produced by dbfseventsd but operated by Java. It is a DropBox process anyway?

Hi
Can any one of you here tell me what is Managed Client???
I saw that one in the Activity Monitor and it is running under root account.
Is this one of the Apple Remote Desktop?
Or other Application is running.

Try a google search for *managed client site:apple.com* and peruse the hits.

Getting processes running under NT

Dear all,
Is it possible for my Java application to check whether some process is running under NT 4.0? For example, can I check whether Word 2000 is currently running on a machine? You can see winword.exe being active in the task manager, how can I catch this from my Java application?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan

Look into NT Resource Kit. You can access commands like 'ps -ef' (it'll give you the list of running processes - just like Unix).
using Runtime.getRuntime().execute("ps -ef | grep [your_process_name]");
The trick part would be to capture the output. Right from the top of my head: do Runtime.getRuntime().execute("ps -ef >> output.txt");
It'll create output.txt with some output in it. Reading in the file, you'll find out if your process is running.
The NT Resource Kit is a standard utility any nt sysadmin should have.
Good luck

Apache : One httpd process running as root instead of nobody

Hello,
Running mediawiki under apache 2.2.8-2, I see strange messages saying that some files under /root/.texmf-var/ do not exist !
I was sure that apache was configured to run as the user nobody !
After doing a ps|grep, I get :
# ps auxw | grep httpd
[b]root[/b] 32465 0.6 0.5 89788 10352 ? Ss 18:16 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start

And the same after killing them all and restarting /etc/rc.d/httpd
I have in httpd.conf:
User nobody
Group nobody
How is it possible ?
Any hint ?

This is necessary to use port 80

Netbeans not running under root user

I noticed that after installing Netbeans under user 'root', I'm able to use it under my user account, but it doesn't launch when I'm logged in as root. I'm running Arch x86_64 with XFCE in VirtualBox. Everything else works, including:
Firefox
Pidgin
Eclipse
SRWare Iron browser
It's not a big problem but when I'm logged in under my user account I can't install new plugins from inside Netbeans.
I tried running it from the command line but nothing happens, including when I try "sh netbeans -verbose".
I"m curious why I'm unable to start Netbeans when I'm logged in as root. Has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe you should reinstall it "as user" if you're experiencing problems with plugins installation.
Edit: IIRC you can use xhost to let root run GUI apps.

What is this Wine that takes over 100 MB of memory running on root on my computer?

What is this Wine that takes over 100 MB of memory running under root on my computer?

The only apps I have installed since purchasing are Mac Keeper and the most recent version of Caffeine.
Also, wine is running by itself, and it is there going when I first turn the computer on. I can shut it down through activity monitor, though.
When I look at the process heirarchically, though, it shows up.
The process heirarchy looks like this: launchd -> AntiVirus -> wine and nothing is running under wine.

Qmasterd process doesn't run as root

I've just installed Compressor 4.0.2 on three of my laptops. On my main working computer Compressor refuses to work as the master. On my two other computers it works just fine with identical settings. I found out that on these two Macs the process qmasterd runs as root permanently (also when Compressor is not running) whereas on the "problem" Mac it runs with my user previleges. The process disappears when I quit Compressor on this machine. Activity Monitor tells me that qmasterd was started by launchd (on the two other Macs) and by Compressor itself (on the "problem" Mac).
I reinstalled Compressor and ran "Compressor Repair" with no success. I reinstalled MacOS 10.7.3, disabled the firewall, repaired permissions, used ethernet and WIFI connections, nothing. I read so many forum posts which don't give any solution for my problem.
When I try to form a cluster on the "problem" Mac an error comes up: "SwampDaemon::NFSPublisher: authorization has expired". Sometimes there is no error message at all.
Remember: With identical settings Compressor works as expected on two other Macs.

Ever get any resolution on this? I am having the same issue.

How to modify Process Chain to run under BWREMOTE

Greetings,
below is the setup
- a process chain made up of an abap program
+ the program uses 'open dataset' to read the data on a file on the server and eventually to rewrite to a different directory
- when run the process chain get the following message:
"PC could not be scheduled- termination return code 8"
-when I run the abap in the background --> get the following message:
"OPEN_DATASET_no_authority"
- I have ful authorization to run any abap program and have full access to the server file.
- Notes: 947690 & 511475 --> has solution for changing the user id for BW up to and including 4.6C. Our system is 7.0
How can I change the user id in Process Chain so it can run under BWREMOTE and not under my user id.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,
B.A.

Thank you everyone for your responses.
After the responses, I changed the user to BWREMOTE
- went thru the following steps:
RSPC - chose my PC - change mode - Menu - PC - Attributes - Execution user - selected option 'BW background user' --> saved the PC, checked it, activated it and scheduled it.
However, in sm37, I do not see the job under BWREMOTE, it is still under my userid.
Any suggestions please. Greatly appreciate it.

Java only runs as root under redhat 9

Further to my thread here:- http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=473177&tstart=0&trange=15
One key thing I forgot to post was that java WILL run when run as root.
It also 'half' runs as a non root user if you specify a max memory setting with -Xmx (it gets further before it dies).
Any clues anyone.
Please refer to the previous thread for more details.
Thanks

One key thing I forgot to post was that java WILL run
when run as root.Yes, but when you run as root the environment that you run in is different than that of a user.
It could of course be a permissions problem. For example it is skipping a directory because the user doesn't have permission to access it. But the exception exit still suggests that it is finding something that it shouldn't. And that probably isn't a good idea even if it is a permission problem on a directory.

<Context path="/xyz" docBase="pathTo_xyz" debug="0" crossContext="true"/>

You should also provide a WEB-INF folder under pqr or xyz folder.
You should also provide a web.xml file under each WEB-INF folder.
The minimal web.xml is

Global data getting reset when running under IIS?

We have a scenario using IIS with an ASP.NET web service written in VB.NET. When a call to the web service is made, the web service calls a native dll (written in C, compiled using VS2010) using platform invoke, which in turn calls into our product API:
VB.NET web service -> native library (p/invoke) -> native API ....
Web service requests are successfully completed and the system runs without problem for hours. A trace of the native API shows it is being called by multiple processes and multiple threads within those processes.
The main native API dll contains a static global variable used to detect whether it is the first time it has been called and run initialization logic if it is. This dll is itself linked to a second dll that contains a global variable used to detect if it is
the first time it has been called.
After some hours the trace shows that the native API is invoked by an existing process but that the initialization logic is being exercised again, even though the global variable was set to indicate not first time and is never reset. One theory was that
the first process has ended and a new process has started almost instantaneously using the same process ID. However this is not the case as existing thread IDs from the same process are seen to write to the trace again after the first time logic has executed
for the second time, indicating the process has not restarted. The problem occurs regularly.
It is as though the process's global data has been initialized again and malloc'ed memory freed while the processing is still running. Is there any way this is possible when running under IIS?
There is an internal thread which waits on a blocking read of a named pipe (via ReadFile), and when the problem occurs, the ReadFile call ends with ERROR_NO_ACCESS, which appears to indicate the malloc'ed buffer is no longer valid, again implying something
has happened to the memory allocated to the process.

Installing XP, running under VMWare

I am brand new to a Mac, and have found the Mac Pro I received a week ago was great to upgrade. Adding both memory and a new Caviar Black 1T drive this morning was the quickest/easiest upgrade I've ever done.
I am currently formatting the new drive I just installed. The Format settings are Mac OS Extended (journaled), and the erase option was set to Zero out the data - I'm assuming this will ensure bad blocks will be marked as they are found - *Out of curiosity, does the disk utility mark bad blocks when found during the Zeroing out process?*
I'm hoping to avoid problems with the way the drive is set up prior to installing VMWare, XP, and moving files onto the drive.
Does VMWare Fusion deal with the format differences between what XP expects (NTFS) and the HFS+ format of the new drive? If not, do I need to do anything to handle this issue?
Secondly, I want to load XP from my MSDN disks - All of the Microsoft operating systems are contained on the MSDN disks. Anybody know if this will cause an issue?
Should I install XP for both VMWare and Bootcamp? Or can I run fine with a single copy running under VMware?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Zeroing with OS X Disk Utility seems very iffy and not as good as if you use vendor supplied utility which runs in Windows. I've even done 7-way write in Disk Utility and the drive showed problems.
I suggest you try something else than DU. MicroMat TechTool Pro seems able to identify weak or bad sectors, does not have means to remap. Intech Speedtools should be able to, and may, but that's another $89.
LIfeguard from WD, Seatools from Seagate... those are better.

Background Task running under initiator not under WF-BATCH

Hi All,
I am trying to resolve a problem with a Background task running under intiator. Since the initiator does not have authorization to execute the task, it is not working.
My understanding was, all background tasks will run under WF-BATCH!!. Is it correct?. in 4.7, it is working this way.
However in ECC 6.00 the background task before the first dialog work item is executed under 'intiator' in this case. I have moved the same task after first dialog work item, and it was executed under WF-BATCH.. I cannot move the task after the dialog workitem as the task need to be executed immediatly after the creation of workflow.
1. How can I run the task in backgroud under WF-BATCH?
2. Inside the task, I am running a BDC to update a flag in downpayment transaction created using F-47. How can I run the process under batch user to overcome the authorization issue that initiator will not authorization.
I am running this workflow in SAP ECC 6.0 level 13
Any help is really appreciated..
thanks in advance for your help.
johnson

This issue can be resolved with triggering the event using the additional flag export parameter 'CREATOR' in function module ''SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK' as WF-BATCH. I was not passing this parameter and hence it didn't work in ECC 6.0 as it take who ran the process as creator and ran the background task under that users id.
Thanks Rachid for your input to resolve this problem.
