How to get Activity Monitor to show processes running on one specific drive

I clone my main drive to two cloned drives. From the clones I normally, without any problem, run both Repair Disk from the Apple Disk Utility, and a maintenance program from Disk Warrior. Now, however, neither of these utility programs are able to unmount my main drive. Rather, they return a message to quite running processes. I have tried to use Activity Monitor to locate what is running, but can find no way to determine which of the dozens of processes listed are connected to the main drive, rather than to the boot drive of the clone. Plus, I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive. Please help. Thanks.

Let's start in reverse order...
I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive
That's easy. You can't unmount the drive if any files on that drive are in use. That does not necessarily mean the application is stored on that drive, but any file on that drive could prevent it being unmounted - for example, if an application has a document open that is on the drive, you might not be able to unmount the drive.
Even subtler, if you're running Terminal.app and have cd'd into a directory on that drive, then you won't be able to unmount, either, since the directory is 'in use'.
As for finding out which applications are using the disk, try lsof in terminal:
sudo lsof +d /Volumes/diskname
This will show any process that has an open file handle on /Volumes/diskname (and its subdirectories).

How to add Activity Monitor to top Toolbar

The last step of most workflows is to Export. By that time, I grow a little tired and impatient. It takes time if you are exporting dozens of versions.
How can I configure Aperture with the a button for Activity Monitor at the top?

O.k., go to the "View" menu and use the command "Customize Toolbar".
Drag an "Activity" icon to the Toolbar. Sorry, I missed it the first time I searched the "Customize Toolbar" menu.

How to read activity monitor????

My system keeps freezing up while using garageband. I've noticed on activity monitor that the "green/% user" bars are peeked, while the "red/% system" bars are relativly low. First: How do I interpret these colors? Second: what can be causing problem? I've posted on "garageband" link, but no help interpreting activity monitor was offered. Any help - VERY appreciated!!!!!

the colors, such as green, indicate who is running the process. User processes are those application you have started or have running. These could include appliactions such as Firefox, Safari, Word, or Garageband.
colors such as red are programs the system has running. These could include automount, File Sharing server. In general applications used by the system.
So when you are looking at garageband in activity viewer. From the pop-up menu, select My Processes. Next to it, in the filter field, type in garageband. This way the only process you will be watching is GB. See how much of the CPU it is using, as well as how much memory it is taking up.

How To Use Activity Monitor

Is there a tutorial or something on using Activity Monitor?
For instance, I'd like to find out what processes are going on to prevent my G4 from shutting down at the scheduled time. (The shutdown deal has been ongoing since first going to OS X.)

Hi, David.
1. What specific version of Mac OS X are you using? Your profile information simply states "10.4". See:• If 10.4.5 or earlier, see "Mac OS X's Shut Down schedule will only work when one user is logged in."
• If 10.4.6 or later, see Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later: Scheduled shut down occurs at Login window even if users are logged in."
2. Note that your Mac must be awake at the appointed time for scheduled shutdown to work. See "Mac OS X 10.3 and later: Computer must be awake for scheduled shutdown to occur."
3. You may want to trash the preferences related to scheduling Startup / Shutdown / Sleep:1. Quit (Command-Q) System Preferences if it is open.
2. There are two preferences files for power management / energy saver settings under Mac OS X 10.4:• If you want to reset the Scheduled Startup and Sleep/Shutdown preferences, trash the file:
com.apple.AutoWake.plist
located in the Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder. You may be prompted for your Admin password when you trash this file.
• The Energy Saver preferences related to Computer, Display, and Hard Drive Sleep are saved in the file
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
which is also located in the Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder. As before, you may be prompted for your Admin password when you trash this file.3. Empty the Trash.
4. Launch System Preferences and reset the preferences accordingly.Note that some of the information above is from the "Sleep" and "Shutdown" chapters of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
Good luck!

How to get active monitor-Multiple monitors connected to a single machine.

Hi,
How to get the id of active graphic device, in case of multiple graphic devices connected to a single machine(Multi-headed display/ multi headed nodes) using Swing.
Prashanth.

Ah, youre actually asking different things.
In your topic title, you say youre running separate instances
In your body text, you say you are under different user/schema
So tell me, do you have more than one database or not? How many entries in your TNS file?
I would say, for "multiple database instances"
SELECT
a.id, b.id
FROM
tableA a
INNER JOIN
tableB@OTHER_DATABASE_LINK_NAME b <--NOTE!
USING(id)And of course you will have to look up CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK sql..

How do i stop two processes that are running in activity monitor

how do i stop two processes that are running in Activity Monitor took one out of trash and it says preparing to move desktop still running with another one been running for hrs now want to stop these many thanks jen.

Select each one and Force Quit it.
But be careful there are many processes that are run by the OS that if quit will cause problems possibly even crash the system.
regards

A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? CPUA temp is now 194F.

Hi Ray-
I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
Did you find any solution?
Thanks so much!

How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??

How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??
Mavricks, MacbookPro, typical config of everything and standard business user, no heavy graphics, animation or media editing. MS Office, web apps, etc.
I have the same issue with Logmein, which I installed a trial, uninstalled with appzapper, which I thought does a good job of untangling the components of apps but for these 2 it doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,

Usually applications like these have their own uninstallers, either build into the installer ( ! ) itself or as a separate uninstaller app. Check the site of the software provider for instructions.
Here's the instructions for SyncMate: http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-mac-os/uninstall.html

How do I locate and install Activity Monitor?

I cannot find Activity Monitor on my computer.
When and how it disappeared I do not know, but is there anyway of locating and installing a copy without a complete re-install?

"Activity Monitor" is stored on the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder. Before reinstalling OS X, I recommend you to search it with Spotlight.
To search it in Spotlight, press Command and Space keys so, if you have a look at the top right of the display, Spotlight will appear. Then, type "Activity Monitor" without quotes, and check if the application appears. If it appears, it hasn't disappeared because you can use it. If it doesn't appear, you have to reinstall Mac OS X. Insert the Mac OS X disc, hold the C key while your computer is starting, and reinstall Mac OS X. You won't lose anything from your computer

How can I get Activity Monitor to work?

I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)

I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac. If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles. I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

I compressed Activity Monitor and deleted the compressed file in error. How do I get it back?

In trying to reduce my CPU load, I compressed the Activity Monitor. Before I can use the compressed file, I mistakenly deleted it and now when I try to open it, I get the dreaded spinning wheel. After a long wait, I forced quit.
What happened and how do I get Activity Monitor back?

Never tamper with programs which come with the system. You could try downloading and applying the 'combo updater':
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
However this won't help if Activity Monitor hasn't been updated since the initial release, which may well be the case. In that event you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard from your original install disks and then apply the combo updater again.
Alternatively it may be possible to extract Activity Monitor from the installed disk by using Pacifist - no promises about that.

How Warehouse Activity Monitor LL01 Report is Running in background?

Hi Gurus,
I am Working in IMWM are & giving support. Client is facing problem with this Report, as this report is not running frequently as per scheduled in Configuration settings. for e.g after 4 hrs or after 12 hrs or 1 week etc.
Does any body know how this program is running in background?
Do I need to create any Batch Job for this?
As per our developer no need of Batch job, it has to run automatically. So if anybody know this, please let me know ASAP. We need to submit solution to client.
thanks & regards,
Anant Joshi

Hi,
Maybe I'm mistaken but I can't see any sense of running LL01 as background job. I think users have to run the report themselves, and it is possible to refresh it in the report itself or by running it again.
Please check (run) the transaction in SAP and check SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c6/f83aa34afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
The functions of the warehouse activity monitor are intended to assist warehouse administrators to oversee, plan and optimize work processes in the warehouse.
This report requires users' interaction so, I can't understand what you want to achieve.

Csaba
