Problems with Launch daemon

I'm having troubles getting a Launch Daemon to work.  I have two that are almost identical and run to fix permissions on a pesky folder (it's a bandaid solution to a permissions problem).  This launch daemon works perfectly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>KeepAlive</key>
          <false/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.name.script1</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>chmod</string>
                    <string>-R</string>
                    <string>770</string>
                    <string>/Path/To/Folder</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartInterval</key>
          <integer>600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
However, when the folder path contains a space, it doesn't appaer to work. This is my second Launch Daemon which is not working
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>KeepAlive</key>
          <false/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.name.script2</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>chmod</string>
                    <string>-R</string>
                    <string>770</string>
                    <string>/Path/To\ Folder/</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartInterval</key>
          <integer>600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
I'm not sure if I'm missing proper syntax in the plist file in order to work with a folder with a name in it.  At this point changing the folder name would cause all sorts of other issues.
Thanks for your help

I should not matter, but the 2nd has a trailing slash:
     <string>/Path/To/Folder</string>
   <string>/Path/To\ Folder/</string>

    Any Input?  Thanks.

    Symptom:  You have a very large number of pageouts for having been up for only 2 days since your last boot.  that averages out to 2 pageouts per minute, and since you most likely are not using your Mac 24/7, you most likely had some very high pageout rates while you were using your Mac.
    A high pageout rate generally results in slow performance.
    Why you have a high pageout rate is unknown, but you should look for memory hungry apps.  Activity Monitor can help there.
    Carbonite can add to your disk contention if it is doing backups while you are using your system.  If it is doing backup during the middle of the night while you are sleeping, that is not an issue.
    You could consider either running fewer memory hungry apps concurrently, or adding more RAM to your system (Crucial.com and MacSales.com are highly respected RAM vendors by this and other Mac related forums).
    If you suspect 3rd party additions affecting your performance, you could boot in "Safe Mode" which will not load 3rd party stuff during boot and login.  Boot holding the "Shift" key to enter Safe Mode.
    You could also run 'sar -g' to monitor your pageout activity over time both in "Safe Mode" and booted normally
    Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    sar -g 60 100
    which will report your pageouts once a minute for 100 minutes (adjust the numbers to suit your tastes).  Now use your system as you normally would, and go back and review the sar output when you notice you are experiencing performance issues.  What you really want to see is mostly zeros, with an occasional blip of a few pageouts.  Sustained pageouts or huge runs of high pageout numbers is an indication that you are using more RAM than you have available and should look for why, and if the app you are running really does need lots of RAM, then think about buying more.

  • Problem System Launch Daemons

    I ran EtreCheck and found the following problem:
    Problem System Launch Daemons:
              [failed] com.apple.AOSNotificationOSX.plist
              [failed] com.apple.wdhelper.plist
    How can I fix it? I couldn't find these files in the ~/Library.

    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
    Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.
    Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
    After that, run Software Update.
    If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
    I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "anti-virus" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or modifies the functions of built-in applications. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.
    Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • How do I fix problem system launch daemons?

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite and immediately my Wired memory started taking over my RAM.  I'm down to a crawl and have spent days trying to figure out what's going on.  I've repaired the drive and reinstalled twice, etc.  I did find through EtraCheck that I had failed problem system launch daemons.  Could those be my problem?  If so, what do I do to fix them?

    hi again. first a have to apologize. i have oracle
    database express edition 10g from school,so i dont
    have registered version.When I said 'register' I didn't mean have it licensed, Oracle XE doesn't require any kind of license registration, it is free. By registering it I meant a technical issue. Once the database is started it tries to contact the listener at 1521 port, once contacted the oracle instance registers itself against it, and if it is successful you will have the administrator's page initialized and ready to access at the default 8080 port.
    when i type SQL commands, command line wrote me
    SP2-0734:unknown command beginning ENTERED COMMAND
    Could you please specify which command did you try to enter?
    >
    and when i open RUN DATABASE, command line wrote
    C:\OracleDatabase\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN
    net started OracleServiceXE - system error 5, accessdenied
    What do you mean with 'RUN DATABASE'?

    The problem i am facing is with Launching the iView Wizard and General Information provided in the 1st link. I am not able to continue with the pointsd under Portal Content Administration
    Thanks,
    Pinki

    Hi Siddharth,
    Thanks for the reply. But my query was not regarding ESS in MSS.
    Its about Generic iViews where you can fetch data using custom queries and user groups and display the same in the general information. I have attached the link provided by SAP below. There are mainly 3 parts to the config:
    1. Creating of custom query.
    2. Using FPM to add the generic iview for list to the perspective of the FPM appl of General information.
    3. Then creating the WD iview of the added view within General information from content Admin and then adding the WD page to the General information page.
    This is my comprehension of the steps provided. However there is one of the link within the Portal Content Admin that does not work.
    Please find the link from help.sap.com below:

  • Captivate 8 Course - Problems with Launch in LMS

    I created a Captivate 8 course with a PPT with animiation. Added audio to the Captivate. So far, so good. Uploaded it to our LMS (SuccessFactors). Went to test the course in the staging environment. Course looked like it was going to launch, then the entire screen went black. Anyone run into this problem before?

    Hi, Yes we are currently experience problems with our course in which the loading icon appears for the course.
    For some of our users, if you press the play button, the course will start and for some, clicking the play button has no reaction.
    Also, for some users, it'll automatically play without a play button (this should be the setting bc we have enabled the autorun feature).
    Not sure what to do!

  • Problems with launching AI CS 5

    Hi.
    The problem is so:
    I have a german Windows 7 (64), but I am not a germna and therfore I use some other programs in other language. To do this I choose at language settings another language as german for all programms that don't support unicode.
    I used trial of Master Colection CS5 in English and it was all perfect. I bought MC CS5 german version and installed it. I have no problems with Photoshop but Illustrator doesn't want to launch anymore. It says that I must change my system language to German to launch it. If  I do so it works, but in this case I can not use a lot of my other programs and a half of my files will became unreadable. And to restart the Windows every time is a "little bit" annoying.
    I was tried to install MC CS 5 in eglish, but the serial works only with german language, and as far as I know from searching this forum, the only option to get Illustrator installed in english is to buy it once more, unfortunately I can not afford such thing now.
    Now comes a question is it possible to avoid this check at start up and let Illustrattor run?
    I asked support and get an aswer to deactivate all Windows services an try once more. I did it and it doesn't help (and in this case some of my other application are not working too).
    Any ideas?

    Hi there, yes this is unusual. I have illustrator CS5 aswell however there is a print option on mine. What happens if you try using the print short cut? (Command 'p').
    Is this a new problem or have you updated etc?

  • Slate 21 s100/Pro - Android 4.4.2 KitKat - Problem with launcher/home apps

    Hi, Anyone tried to install a different launcher App (Nova for instance) after 4.4.2 upgrade? I experience problem with graphics performance after installation of such an app with ability to register as home app. The app does not even need to be started. Problems occur just after install from Play Store:- Many animations are laggy. For instance horizontal swipe in Calendar app or animation in and out from the app list is quite laggy.- The new menu entry "Home" in settings is probably there to select Home app, but the Settings app itself crashes when touching it. After lots of debugging with own apps, I have a feeling that the graphics hardware acceleration is the problem, but I can not identify the root cause of this behaviour. We have many of these tablets and those which have been upgraded to 4.4.2 behaves the same bad way. The previous 4.2.2 worked perfectly fine. 4.3 that comes with the Pro tablet is also OK, but this also gets problem with KitKat. It would be interesting to hear if others experience the same.  Trond 

    Same problem here in Japan. What I did to try to bypass HP and the lack of appropriate support for this machine, was to install Nova launcher and set up lollipop features. It worked like a charm. Most of the slaggyshness was resolved.I also found a workaround to root the device with Kingroot/Kinguser so that I could rename/erase/move files on sd and usb like use to be with JB when I bought it.  All worked fine until I tried to do a factory reset (had unistalled a core apk that I wanted back) via menu+vol-.  The machine now can boot into the bootloader (I get all the options there), starts the factory reset wizard just fine but then when selecting the option WIFI/Ethernet .."wait a sec..." on screen and then, after a minute or two, it aborts the setup with prompt  "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped".Does anyone have a fix for that? BTW, clean cache didn`t work for me.

  • Slow Mavericks and problem system launch daemons

    Like some other users here I've experienced a big slowdown since installing Mavericks.
    I ran EtreCheck (good app!) and I see that I have several failed Apple daemons. I don't know what they do but I guess this is not a good thing. 
    Can anybody shed any light on these failed daemons and what I can do to fix them?  Are they likely to be part of the slow running problem?
    cheers all!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, 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 the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, andIdle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • OfficeJet 4500 and Problem with Launching Windows Explorer (XP OS)

    I installed HP OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer with XP operating system on my desktop PC in Wireless mode.  Printing works fine from desktop and wireless laptops.  However, when I try to access Windows Explorer on my desktop PC, using the desktop shortcut or executable file name in the "Run" menu, the screen flashes, goes blank (blue screen) then refreshes the desktop but will not launch Windows Explorer.  This also occurs when I go to My Computer or Network Places and select "My Documents" or click on the root of the C: drive.  The only way I can access my files is to use the actual program they were created in (i.e., Word, Excel, Adobe, etc.)  I used System Restore and restored my computer to a date prior to installing the printer and this solved the problem.  When I reinstalled the HP OfficeJet printer, the problem recurred, so it is definitely associated with installing the printer.  Anyone have a fix for this?  Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I haven't seen that issue specifically.  I would download and run the HP Printer Diagnostic Utility.  There might be some file conflicts during the installation that are not resolved that this utility might fix.  I have a C309a AiO that had some other issue that the Diagnostic utility fixed.

  • [SOLVED] Eclipse in chroot environment - problem with launching it wit

    Hello,
    I have a problem running eclipse (set in 32bit chroot on 64bit OS) with schroot. It was working formerly, but now launching it causes crash.
    Other chrooted apps (like skype or cups) are working properly.
    Error log generated by openjdk.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've posted it in first post, but new one (generated by openjdk7): http://pastebin.com/1Enk7bvF - I can't find file mentioned in 13 line (neither in chroot localization nor normal)
    Well, I've noticed that 'schroot -p eclipse' invoked as root works. Can it imply that this is some permission problem?

    Whenever I go to launch iTunes, it launches, but then shuts down within two seconds. I have tried reinstalling iTunes, but it continues with this odd habit of launching but then immediately closing.
    I recently moved to the United Kingdom for a semester of school and am unable to contact Apple Tech Support. Does anyone have any advice as to how to fix this problem?

    greetings agrandel, and welcome to the forums.
    you could try reinstalling iTunes properly. click here and follow the instructions.
    or you could create a new admin user account, log in and try launching iTunes.
