Looking around on Internet I leaned that I should examine /var/log/system.log
I find that I have empty messages repaeted an amazing number of times:

Apache is a webserver.
Go to console
type:
sudo apachectl stop

ICal writing tons of log messages into system.log

Hi all,
I've got an issue with iCal under Leopard 10.5.1.
Sometimes my syslogd process grabs ~100% CPU time and so I took a look into system.log.
I saw MANY lines like this:

Any idea how to fix this?
Here's another problem that might be related to this: my "Private" calendar was published in 10.4 but now the webdav server that was used for this is no longer existent (and can't be setup again).
So I wanted to unpublish my Private calendar but this wasn't possible. When trying to unpublish it I get the error message "This calendar could not be unpublished. Authentication information may be incorrect."
If I select the "Cange location..." menu entry in the context menu of the Private calendar I still see the webdav server address and the Login and Password fields are filled. But because this server no longer exists publishing is no longer possible. Which is fine with me.
So, how can I get rid of the publishing? Because I get tons of error messages in system.log, too, for this behaviour. Everytime the system tries to publish this calendar...
Thanks,
Stefan.

I am not much of a help, but I just wanted to say that my iCal just experienced the same problems for the first time today...

How to write messages into system log(sm21) using c_write_syslog_entry

Hi,
May i know how to write my application messages into system log(sm21)
using "c_write_syslog_entry". Any explanation regarding the Type. ID, Data
will be useful with examples. Incase of any other FM's or C functions does
the same Please let me know.
Thanks
Prasath

Hello Prasanth
I agree with Kareem that you should prefer the application log. If interface IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST is available on your SAP system this is the first choice for collecting messages AND storing them as application log.
For an example you may have a look at my Wiki posting [Message Handling - Finding the Needle in the Haystack|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/07/09/MessageHandling-FindingtheNeedleintheHaystack]
Not shown in this example is the storage of the application log. However, if you look at method CF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST=>CREATE you see that you can add the application log references here.
Regards
Uwe

Repeating messages in System log: com.apple.wikid.mailinglists[######]: mail:status = "list-updated"

Hello
I have an OSX 10.6.8 server and recently noticed the System log keeps repating the same message after 10 mins:
com.apple.wikid.mailinglists[#####]: mail:status = "list-updated"
[#####] = number that changes every event
The server is bound to Active Directory and the only active services are AFP and SMB
Is there a location/way I can check to stop/fix these messages?
Many thanks for your help
Ciao
Carlo

This is part of the wiki server's setup. If you don't want the messages, turn off the wiki (or 'collaboration services' in the web server setup.
Beyond that, there's no harm in the messages. Why do they concern you?

RADIUS messages in system.log, all day long

My 10.6 server's system log is full of RADIUS messages, every few seconds, making me think that something isn't as it should be. We have an airport extreme base station as our router and RADIUS access point. I configured the airport base station from the server, thru server manager.

Also NOW I suddenly have two 256 cards that are not showing up so I have lost half of my RAM! I have less than 12% space left on my hard drive. Two of the cards look the same and two others look alike ( I have four 256 cards) Two years ago the repair shop put in two used cards so I would have all the same. I tried re seating them but it didn't work and I still get repeating messages in my systems log.

Console message and system.log

Hi,
in the console system.log always apear this message every 30 second:
+Feb 16 02:22:55 Macintosh SystemUIServer[346]: Error: ACInterfaceGetPower() called with invalid interface+
+Feb 16 02:23:25: --- last message repeated 5 times ---+
and every 5 second this other message:
16/02/08 02:40:55 SystemUIServer[346] Error: ACInterfaceGetPower() called with invalid interface
.. and the message look like an infinite loop message.
Is it a problem ?
And i can ear the Internal HD run always.
Thanks on advice for any help
Ale

I just went through a bunch of research on this on my own iMac G5. (BTW - do you have an iMac G5 or an iMac Intel Core Duo? It can't be both)
It comes down to the items that the SystemUIServer is trying to call. if you look at <homefolder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and open it with TextEdit, you'll see that, among other things, it references 8 menuExtras -
Battery.menu
Displays.menu
TimeMachine.menu
Bluetooth.menu
AirPort.menu
Volume.menu
Clock.menu
User.menu
While logged in as an administrative user, I launched System Preferences, Activity Monitor, and the Console looking at *+All Messages+*. I got the same ACInterfaceGetPower() error every 5 seconds, too. So I went through the Preferences and deactivated each menu item above, but the messages continued to appear.
I had two items that might have been causing a problem. The first was the fact that I had the AirPort signal showing up in the menu bar, even though the Network location I have set up does not have AirPort as an available service. I added the Airport service back in, disabled the menu icon, removed the AirPort service again, and Applied the changes. I'm pretty sure the error message was still appearing at this point.
The big change came when I opened up Accounts. First, I went to the Login Items section for my current user. I noticed that the EyeTV Helper and an Adobe process were both there along with the iTunes Helper process. I removed the first two using the "-" at the bottom. That actually appeared to fix it, but I proceeded to the Login Options section and disabled *Fast User Switching*. That removes the users from the menu bar. By this time the only thing left in the menu bar was the Spotlight icon.
Switching over to Activity Monitor, I killed the SystemUIServer process. It restarted and the ACInterfaceGetPower() messages did not reappear. I then re-activated each item, one at a time, killing the SystemUiServer after each activation. Again, the messages did not appear. I did not re-activate Bluetooth or AirPort, since I do not need them.
I am no longer getting those messages and the system appears to be running fine right now.
I have an external monitor attached to the iMac G5 as well as 4 FireWire hard drives. I am connected to the outside world via FiOS and I have a 100 Mb CAT-5 connection to that router.

Error Message in System log

Hi, I recently discovered this error message in my system.log
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: CGContextClipToRect: invalid context
I am using Safari version 2.0.4 on Tiger. Can anyone tell me what it means and if I need to worry about it. Thanks!

Hi,
It's just a debugging entry the programmers have left in the Safari/WebKit code. It looks like the webpage you are viewing is causing one of the rendering functions used to draw parts of the page to behave in an unexpected way.
Nothing to worry about as such.

Warning messages in system log after upgrading to SP4

Hello there, I am starting to see quite a lot of warning messages in the system log saying the following:
Failed loading JDBC Driver class com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver - Exception:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Failed loading JDBC Driver class com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB - Exception:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB
Failed loading JDBC Driver class org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver - Exception:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
We are using MSSQL as the underlying database, so maybe something needs to be unchecked somewhere? Any ideas?
Best regards,
Anders

Anders,
I just updated to SP4 and tried a user creation (my database is also MSSQL). I did not see any warnings in the system logs. Like Thomas said you must have extra entries in the Tools/Option/Java/JDBC driver names.
All you need is just one entry "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver".
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Org.samba.winbindd logs constant throttling respawn messages in system.log

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4 on a MacBookPro5,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo) system.
My network connectivity is fine as far as I can tell. I recently discovered the following message being logged over and over in the system.log log file:
7-17-10 11:49:09 o'clock com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.winbindd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
7-17-10 11:49:19 o'clock com.apple.launchd[1] (org.samba.winbindd[157]) Exited with exit code: 1
This is really annoying when trying to view the log output to diagnose a problem I with an application I'm trying to develop
What can stop these message from appear in my log output?

I checked the Console application and found a log file in it call log.winbindd. It has several entries like the following in it that might be relevant:

What insight does this offer into the cause of the messages and how to stop them?

Recurring messages in system.log. Every ten seconds.

Since upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.1, I get the following recurring (every 10 seconds) messages in the system.log.
Leopard is complaining about user postfix having the same user ID as _postfix and some inability to launch something. The system attepts to launch it every ten seconds.
Do you have any idea about what can I do? I've repaired permissions, cleared caches, updated prebindings...
Thanks to all for your help.

You have two problems here. One with NIS and one with mail.
The mail one sounds like your mail configuration didn't transfer smoothly. Did you customize it under 10.4?
Either way, this particular fix is easy.
Edit the file etc/postfix/main.cf and look for the line:
mail_owner = postfix
and change it to
mail_owner = _postfix
As for the NIS error (com.apple.nis.ypbind), are you running NIS?
If so, check the NIS settings in /Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility.app.
Either change the settings as necessary, or turn off NIS if you're not using it.

The LSI 1064 is the SCSI RAID controller chipset - perhaps a cabling/power issue as noted in another post I saw. Look at the above bug report and try checking your power management configuration.

Strange message in system.log every 10 secods

I'm getting the following three lines in system.log whenever my computer is running:
Sep 14 19:54:55 dmm com.danga.memcached\[12466\]: bind(): Address already in use
Sep 14 19:54:55 dmm com.danga.memcached\[12466\]: failed to listen
Sep 14 19:54:55 dmm com.apple.launchd\[1\] (com.danga.memcached\[12466\]): Exited with exit code: 1
Sep 14 19:54:55 dmm com.apple.launchd\[1\] (com.danga.memcached): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
What is this process and how do I either turn it off or make it work?

A little Goodling might help. Apparently, you installed Live Journal or something else that installed memcached from danga. It can't bind to an IP address to do its thing and is failing.

Normal Startup Messages (System.log; Intel Verbose Mode)?

Over this past weekend, I wanted to test the backup I had for my 24" iMac. I had always used Apple's Backup program that comes with .Mac when I had my PowerBook, and never tested it. This was bad, because it didn't work when I actually needed it.
I also suspected there might be something slightly wrong with my iMac, so equipped with about 4 hours and my install DVDs i went to work.
The only thing I've done so far is get all the Apple updates and setup my iChat account. I changed to boot in verbose mode, and found that the eery messages that scared me prior to doing my reinstallation of OS X (I zeroed the drive, then did a full install) were still there.
Here is my entire System.log:

The lines that concern me are the ones bolded at the top of System.log
The other thing that is a bit unnerving to me is that when I have it set to boot in verbose mode, and then restart the computer, I get a screen that looks out of place. It is a box with a dark background in the center of the screen with text in there, and then it quickly switches to full screen verbose mode. The first line of full screen verbose mode (which is what I'm used to since I always used verbose mode on my PowerBook) is this one:
Jan 30 09:23:08 localhost kernel[0]: hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000
In the centered text, it mentions something about "loading drivers" followed by many lines of periods. It is only up for about 5 seconds, and then switches to full screen verbose mode. Is that centered window for verbose mode new to intel Macs? I never recall seeing it on my PowerBook.
When i googled around for the "hi mem tramps" message, i found it might be linked to bad ram. I used memtest and did 3 passes to check the ram, and it found no errors.
Are these messages in System.log normal?
Thanks!

Hi, Mike.
First, please don't use the "scatter gun" or "post everywhere" approach. I see you've also post the same question here. I appreciate your urgent desire for help, but it would be very annoying to anyone answering questions here to spend time researching your question in one post, only to find it already answered in another place where it was also posted. The "scatter gun" approach is a good way to get all your future posts ignored.
According to what I read in the second post of this topic on another forum, I suspect you may have a Startup Item that's causing the highlighted messages to be written to system.log. Perhaps some PowerPC code you may have migrated over to your Intel-based Mac if you used the Setup / Migration Assistant to move to the new Mac from a pervious Mac.
There have been numerous posts about the tfp: failed on 0 message, which can be seen in this search of the Discussions. However, I suspect the explanation I've cited above fits your situation.
If an errant Startup Item is the cause, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
As to hi mem tramps…, that may be normal. If you read this item and click on the link for dmesg you'll see a typical output someone else posted as, I suspect, an example of "normal."
Good luck!

Bonjour showing error messages in windows logs -- 17,000+ in past week

My windows machine system logs were growing quite large, so I decided to poke around a bit. I found that the bulk of the 17,000 error messages dealt with Bonjour.
here's a couple of examples:from the logs

Is this normal? What do I need to do to correct this?

Hi Drake,
Yes, it is common, and I wouldn't worry about it.
These "errors" are not about anything wrong. My guess is that it's a developer jargon to indicate that something didn't happen, only because there is no possibility of it happening given your specific settings/system options.
See for example the statements "System woke from sleep" or "System going to sleep" in "error_log"...
We don't know to what extend these "errors" belong to so many unmodified files that used to do something in UNIX 15 years ago, but are now completely useless, harmless and so small they can't affect Mac OS X performance in any way?
Enjoy your Mac!

Errors in system.log since leopard upgrade

I have a mac mini core duo 1.83, with 2gb ram.
It was running Tiger until I upgraded it to Leopard about October 27th.
I used the archive and install installation method.
It has been running fine. The only "glitch" I have noticed is a very occasional
pause in music playing in iTunes.
While investigating the cause of that, I realised that the system.log file is very large, and there are many many instances of this error in it.
Dec 10 15:42:11 macmini Unknown[36394]: Error loading /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBLib.bundle/Co ntents/MacOS/IOUSBLib: dlopen(/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBLib.bu ndle/Contents/MacOS/IOUSBLib, 262): no suitable image found.

Am I likely to see any problems other than the large log files?

Large log files are potential problems. The larger they get the greater the probability they will become corrupted. You should use some software to clear out the logs regularly by running the built-in Unix scripts. See my maintenance FAQ for helpful suggestions:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
I'm only supposing, here, but I think your log errors are generated by left over elements of Tiger not removed when you installed Leopard. This is always a potential problem with upgrade installs and Archive and Install when moving to a new major OS version. I generally recommend doing an Erase and Install.
