Problem with Fork

Hi,
I have created a Scenario using a fork step Which has 2 branches. The first branch consits of a Transformation and a send step with in a switch statement. The second branch consists of a Transforamtion, Send (synchronous), Send (synchronous) , Transformation and send step. The BPM starts with a Receive and followed by a Fork step.
The problem is whenever BPM receives a message, FORK is sending the message to the second branch and trying to execute the same branch if one of the step fails.
Thanks,
Kiran.

The BPM starts with a Receive and followed by a Fork step
Any reason for having the above BPM design?
Normally we use Fork at the start when we receive messages from multiple senders.
Is your requirement to execute either of the branches (logic in branch1 or branch2)? If yes then you should use a Switch step. If your requirement is to execute the logic in both the branches then have the steps placed sequentially (steps of branch1 placed first and then of branch2 or vice-versa)....remove the fork then.
Regards,
Abhishek.

[Solved]Problem with fork().

Hi, I'm having this very strange problem since I last updated (xorg basically). After some time of using X, processes fail to start. Whenever I try to run any program as my user (either on X or console) I get something like:
fork: resource temporary unavailable.
After I restart X everything gets fixed. Some programs seem to trigger it (deluge, tuxguitar, etc). I searched google, it says the problem is that too many processes are being run, but "ps -A" gives nothing strange.

Problem with shell commands and scripts from an Applescript Application

Hi-
I am fairly new to OSX software development. I am trying to build an application that creates a reverse SSH tunnel to my computer and starts OSXvnc. The idea is that my Mom or anyone else who needs help can connect to me without having to tinker with their firewalls.
There are plenty of resources on how to do this, and I have found them. What I have a problem with is the following.
I am building this application in Xcode as an Applescript application, because Applescript and shell scripting are the only forms of programming I know. I use an expect script to connect through SSH, and a "do shell script" for the raw OSXvnc-server application to allow screen sharing.
The problem is that when I click on the button to launch OSXvnc-server or the button to launch SSH, the application freezes until the process it spawns is killed or finishes. For example, I can set SSH to timeout after 60 seconds of no connection, and then the Applescript application responds again. I even tried using the ssh -f command to fork the process, but that doesn't seem to help.
I am also using "try" around each of the items.
What am I doing wrong? How can I make the buttons in my app launch SSH and OSXvnc-server without hanging the application while it waits for them to finish?
Thanks so much!

See here for an explanation of the syntax.

Problems with Steam - Dota2 and ETS2

Hello
I had never problems with Arch + xfce but last time I made fresh install of Arch with KDE and problems begins. Strange logs in steam running Dota 2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Dota 2 freezing, jumping even 60+ fps, both games can freeze for 1 min with sound.
Lenovo Y580 - GTX660M
After running Dota 2 with launch options (optirun -b primus %command% -console) output from console:

I can't be sure but most of the dota2 output looks "normal" to me (I get the same yet it works fine).
eurotrucks is clearly crashing. You could try to force the resolution it uses in its config files?
Or maybe it's missing a lib (you may need to install 32bit versions):
ldd /path/to/eurotrucks
to see if that's the case. If not, you might have to take it up with the eurotrucks developers.
And you could try using fluxbox/openbox just to see what happens. A lot lighter than KDE.
Have a good look though: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam
and remember to check for missing 32bit libs.

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

Could you please someone help me with this?
Thanks

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the exact same error tonight on my HTPC, any chance you found out what the problem was ?
To make matters worse, it's not happening every single time, but maybe every 4 out of 5 boots (same kernel, no changes in between.)
I thought this was a kernel issue related to this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/10/359
I've tried adding atkbd and psmouse to my mkinitcpio.conf MODULES section and rebuilt, but no change.
I changed the NVidia driver from nvidia-304xx to nvidia-full-beta-all ( 334.21 ) from AUR but it had the same error at the same place.
Here's the part from `dmesg` where it borks:

File association problems with Win2K server

Hi,
I have a client - 5 Macs in a Win2K network. They're designers and store/work on all their jobs on a Win2K volume. About 2 months ago, problems started happening - files lost their application association (mostly all were turned into Unix exec files), causing sever problems with the workflow. Quark can't open a placed image in it's native app for instance, because the association has been lost. The user has to visit each file and re-associate. As you can imagine, this is not an ideal situation to say the least.
Furthermore, when re-associating the files, the option to "Always open with" is greyed out, so a one-time fix isn't possible.
I suspected that it was something to do with the windoze volume. I more or les proved it by copying one of the files to a local machine and then re-associating: all works as it should when the files are local. Copying the files locally is not an option though.
This really is at the limit of my windoze knowledge. Their sysadmin is also not sure what's happening, aside from the fact that there's no windoze app that's accessing the files and writing them back to the disk. The only thing that looks at the files is the daily backup and that's a read and not write operation. We're stumped, but it really needs sorting. I've suggested they move some of the files to another server and see if the same occurs, which may or may not prove the issue is with the server they're using now. Any guidance gratefully received.
All Macs at 10.4.5 and recent updates, all have QXP 6.5, CS2.

Probably nothing has changed with your server or your network. Typically, folks realize, "Hey! I can connect via SMB and that's my workaround for the 31 character file name limit!" Or possibly, your Mac folks are browsing the network for your server and selecting it through your Windows domain rather than a Mac zone. Tiger changed the appearance of Windows "WORKGROUPS" so that they now appear as upper/lower case instead of all caps. This use to be a good way to distinguish them from zones.
To guarantee your users are connecting via AFP, which is what I would recommend for a Mac workgroup, have them specifically use "afp://servername" in the "Connect to Servers" dialog. I don't recommend Apple's SMB because Mac OS X splits each file into separate resource and data fork files before placing them on the server. When Windows folks see this, it's a mess. And I don't recommend continuing to use Microsoft's SFM because its version of the AFP protocol hasn't been updated in years. Either way, look to a third party software solution.
Don't let the 65+ GB scare you. It's really not that bad if you're on a 100MB network but the server should recognize that all traffic is local and actually handle all the file moves itself without shuffling files across the network. A bit of a pain, but shouldn't take too long.
Good luck! bill

Problem with .img files

Hey folks!
I am having a problem with some .img files. Every time I try to open them with DiskUtility, i get a message saying that the operation was failed because the thing was not recognized. I was wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this problem.
Cheers,
Al

.img files are normally OS 9-style disk images. They are quite similar to OS X .dmg, except for the fact that they contain a tiny amount (less than 4 KB) of critical information in the resource fork of the file. If this information goes missing (the file inadvertently loses the resource fork), the disk image can no longer be mounted and is irrevocably damaged.
If you're not careful, and you involve PCs, it's possible that you could lose the resource fork, which would result in the behavior you're seeing.

Problem with SMB share

Hi!
I have a problem when connecting to a SMB file share on a Windows 2003 R2 server (also acting as a Domain Controller for the Active Directory domain) using OS X 10.5.2.
I've just reinstalled Leopard to rule out any problems with messy configuration on the client, but the problem persists. The newly installed Leopard client is not a member of the AD domain at the moment.
When connecting to the server share (with cmd+K in Finder), I have to login using a AD account. The share is after successful login accessible through Finder and I could traverse the folders and read / copy all the files on the share. I could also save smaller files (less than 16 KB) to the server.
However, if I try to save a larger file (more than 16 KB) the files gets created on the server share, but stays a 0 KB. The access to the server share freezes during 60 seconds and the "Copy" window just tells me it has copied 0 KB of the file so far. No data seems to be written to the file at all.
After Finder gives up, the "Copy" windows tells me that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
From time to time Finder has also disconnected the share during problems, and OS X has crashed on me in kernel panic four times when testing. I haven't been able to track down the action triggering these errors yet.
The shares on the server works just fine when using the same username/password from a Windows XP client machine.
I don't see this problem when mounting a share from a Windows XP client in Leopard.
What could be wrong here? Is there some setting on the Windows server that has to be done to work with Leopard? (I've read about the SMB signing, but Leopard shouldn't need the signing to be turned off, should it?)
At the moment I'm having a hard time using the shiny new MBP at work, so any help on this would be highly appreciated!
Best regards, Jonas Mixter

I have an issue with OSX Leopard (10.5.2) , where by I can't write to NTFS shares on W2K3 servers with SMB signing turned on and IPV6 disabled for the interface.
To recreate the issue:
Create a folder named test that contains two files one named ._test.txt and test.txt on OSX and copy to an SMB share on W2k3.
This results in spurious errors about permissions and locked files.
Copying a file larger than 4k results in the error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges or some of the items."
Using mount_smbfs from a shell on OSX results in the error: "Permission denied"
host:~ user$ mount_smbfs //user@server/share /Volumes/test-smbmount/
Password:
host:~ user$ cp test.docx /Volumes/test-smbmount/
cp: /Volumes/test-smbmount/test.docx: Permission denied
Using smbclient from a shell on OSX results in SUCCESS!!!

I have mailed the developer as he has obviously identified the root problem of the issue and I urged him to share his patch/resolution with Apple in the interests of the user community and a darn nice thing to do.I had a response form the developer to my request. I sent my workaround solution to the developer and stated that in my opinion the pricing for the software seems unnecessarily high based on the functionality it provides and way above what I would be willing to pay to resolve one small issue.
<developers response>
Pricing is a difficult topic to discuss -- but if you have no use for the product, any price is too much. As for reporting bugs to Apple, they'll listen to customers much sooner than they'll listen to developers. And they have some of the brightest engineers I know. If you report the bug to them, they'll likely have it fixed in the next update.
</developers response>
I couldn't find away to report the bug myself so I had a friend do it for me. The response I had back from Apple was less than satisfactory.
They believe that the issue is to do with NTFS streams and that a file containing ".com.apple.smb.streams.on" needs to be created and placed into the root of shared volumes. This is not a fix!
If you want to prevent writing the "Apple Double" files to a remote share, enter the following into a terminal:
$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Problem still exists.

Before Mac OS X, the Mac OS used 'forked' files, which have two components: a data fork and a resource fork. The Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk formats support forked files. When you move these types of files to other disk formats, the resource fork can be lost.
With Mac OS X, there is a mechanism called "Apple Double" that allows the system to work with disk formats that do not have a forked file feature, such as remote NFS, SMB, WebDAV directories, or local UFS volumes. Apple Double does this by converting the file into two separate files. The first new file keeps the original name and contains the data fork of the original file. The second new file has the name of the original file prefixed by a "._ " and contains the resource fork of the original file. If you see both files, the ._ file can be safely ignored. Sometimes when deleting a file, the ._ component will not be deleted. If this occurs you can safely delete the ._ file.
</apple double description>
I am not the only one this issue. A quick peruse on http://macwindows.com/ will show that numerous people are suffering and numerous workarounds have been suggested. Sadly none of which work for me. Each work around is stranger than the previous. Such as disabling IPV6 and updating Daylight Savings Time.
The issue lies with the samba integration. I am primarily a Gentoo Linux user and this kind of bug would have been resolved almost instantly if present in open source software.

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

TS3694 "There is a problem with your iPhone." (Restoring/Recovery issues)

So, the other day, I got my iPhone 4 wet (idiot, I know!). After drying it out in a bowl of rice for 24 hours, it seemed to start up just fine and when connected to iTunes, it prompted me to do a full restore to factory settings. I did just that, and after the restore software downloaded and seemed to install onto the iPhone, it began going through the setup process. It let me go through a few screens of setup (language, country, location services etc., before showing the connect to iTunes screen). Then iTunes displayed this message:
"There is a problem with your iPhone. Please visit the Service Answer Center to find answers to all your questions about service options, warranty and other processes in your country. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
There are no other options given on neither the phone nor iTunes.
I am out of warranty, have called Apple about replacement options, and was also advised to continue trying to restore. After 3 or 4 times trying to restore, with the same message, I am asking if anyone knows any other tricks before I go and fork out $169.99 for a replacement phone.
Thanks,
Mike

Hii mikeszalay,
I have exactly same issue, and my screen can show language and country after I restored for like 7 times.
My itunes is showing
"There is a problem with your iPhone. Please visit the Service Answer Center to find answers to all your questions about service options, warranty and other processes in your country. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
What did you do after this problem? did you successfully fix the phone? Cause I dont know what to do now, and my phone is also out of warranty : (( It will be a really great help if you could share experience!!
Thank you so much!!!

Problems with updatemanager hanging

Hello,
I was just wondering if other people are having problems with updatemanager hanging when you install patches. Quit frequently we have problems where the updatemanger will get 75% done and just hang. I have even let it sit over the weekend on our test boxes and it does not proceed. You can click on cancel and the same thing nothing happens.
What is the recommend procedure for stopping updatemanger when this happens. I am assuming a kill -15, I was hoping for something more graceful with less risk.
Thanks,
Gary

Update Manager community:
First, thanks to David Holmes for his suggestion that this is a Java bug related to the PKCS11 library forking problem. This is, at the very least, consistent with my observations: when things hang, it appears to hang in the java process and never seems to get where you see the various pkgadd and pkginstall processes get started.
I've made the suggested re-ordering of security providers in /path_to_java/jre/lib/security/java.security and will be watching anxiously to see if this resolves things.
Mr. Forum Moderator, have you and the other folks in UpdateManager-cental evaluated Mr. Holmes observation that this is the cause of many of the updatemanager hangs problems?
While I'm waiting to see if the changes to java.security change things, here is the set of things that I've found that help me to deal with updatemanager.
Note: my experiences apply to Solaris 10 (now u5) x86. Specifically, I am running on 3 nearly identical X4100 M2 platforms. The hanging problem seems to be intermittent in that sometimes 2 machines will update just fine and the third one will hang and it is not always the same machine that hangs. Other times, all 3 will update without hanging. When it does hang, however, prstat shows that the pkgadd, pkginstall, and related programs and scripts that do the real work never get fired off. And, as others have observed, once updatemanager hangs in this fashion, the "Cancel" button doesn't help either.
So, when things hang, these are the things that I've found to help in allowing me to restart to see if things will proceed properly the next time.
1. ps -ef | grep update
That usually shows 2 processes related to updatemanager (one a shell script and one the actual java program) and two instances of smpatch with a list of patches.
2. kill those 4 PIDs found in step one.
3. rm /var/sadm/spool/sunucLog/job_history.log.lck
If this *.lck file is still in place, updatemanager won't even check for new patches.
4. rm /tmp/.ai*
There is sometimes a file that starts with /tmp/.ai_and_a_very_long_string .... I don't know what it does, but it seems to need to be removed for another updatemanager run to be started.
5. ps -ef | grep ccr
This usually shows 2 or more cc-ccr processes. I believe that these also need to be killed (sometimes with a kill -9) and you probably need to check to make sure that init doesn't restart these.
I certainly don't claim to be an expert on these matters .... but, at the very least, I've found that these steps help me to deal with a hanging updatemanager.
Of course, I'm hopeful that David Holmes' observations related to the PCKS11 library bug turns out to be the identification of the underlying problem .... and I thank him again for his Java debugging skills and digging through the bug database.
Thanks,
John

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,

Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
