Weblogic 6.1 sp2 hangs after sometimes.

Our server hangs after 1 hour or tow for no apperent reason. It seem like the port get chocked and there in no way I can ping it. The JVM is running and I do not see any core dump. Neiter I see any other error but the server just stops listening on its port.

I cannot ping the server, I cannot get the core dump there is nothing I can to
to the server. Bellow is the thread dump but it is not much help either.

    What do you mean, "not fixed?"  If there is no termination character, no start/stop character(s) or even a consistent data length, then how can you really be sure when the data starts and stops?
    I probably misunderstood you though.  Assuming the last case is not ture - there is a certain length to the data - then you should use the bytes at port, like in the otherwise disastrous serial port read example.  In this case, it's NOT disastrous.  You have to make sure that you read all the data that came through.  Right now you have no idea how much data you just read.  Also, if this is streaming data, you might want to break it out into a producer/consumer design pattern.
    Not fixed means order is not fixed, data from any com port can come anytime. lenght is fixed, one com port have 14 byte and other 8 byte fixed..
    Reading data is not an issue for me as it works nice but I have a query that why my application hangs after sometime and stops reading data from COM PORT.
    Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.

  • Weblogic 6.1 SP2 hangs up at database command, PATCH needed!

    Hello,
    I use weblogic 6.1 SP2 on Windows and Solaris
    DB-Driver: Oracle Thin Driver for Oracle 9i
    Database OP System: Win2000
    My application runs fine. After some time (about 15.000 db operations)
    at load tests, the weblogic 6.1 server hangs up without an error message
    in the logs at a any desired database command.
    I use the database pool from weblogic.
    The database operations are made with the TX-Datasource.
    The main database operation is a call of an oracle stored
    procedure.
    I suppose, that the weblogic hangs up in a synchronized
    block of the pool, but the crash could also have an other reason.
    After the crash, the whole instance is dead and must be restarted.
    I can reconstruct the crash on windows and solaris.
    I always thought, weblogic is reliably?
    Is there any patch to fix this problem?
    I am very thankful for every help to fix this problem.
    Thank you in advance

  • Weblogic portal is getting hanged after a regular interval

    Hi,
    We are using WLP 8.1 SP 5 on a HP Unix environment. Our Weblogic instance is getting hanged and we need to restart the same. This problem is happing once in a 3 weeks time. From console we cheked that avilable memory for JVM heap is quite low when this happens. Below are the some of the log messages we have found in the weblogic log:

    Hi,
    Please find below my findings about the memory leak.
    Many (around 40 where max connection is 50) connection were created without they getting closed in a very short span of time. This caused the connection pool to be filled as rest of the connections in the connection pool were doing something else. Below is the log message:

    So, what might cause this JDBC error. Is the problem at Weblogic end or the database end? It seems that the connections are hanging due to this JDBC error which is causing the connection pool to be filled up. Subsequently threads are hanging which leads to memory leak.
    Please help as this issue is reoccuring again and again!!!

  • Program hangs after sometime

    Hello guys,
    I've been stuck in a problem,
    I'm taking input from the mic port of the pc, it runs perfectly,
    but if i leave it for some time and then change any of the parameter or the page (i'm using tab control)
    then the input to the signal does not come.
    I,m taking RMS of the value, so it displays NaN (Not a Number).
    What can be the possible solution for it
    Pls let me know if you get it.
    thanks in advance.
    Reagrds,
    Shrek 

    Hi Shrek,
    If it stops from getting values if you switch tab. It's maybe something in your code or on the structures you're using.
    It will be probably easier if you post your code. Without it, i dunno if you will get a better answer.

  • Lenovo T61 (Product 6458-W2R): explorer.exe hangs after logon - WinXP SP2

    +++ english below +++
    [german/deutsch]
    Wir setzen in unserem Unternehmen mehrere ThinkPad T61 ein.  Bei einigen dieser ThinkPad T61 (und nur beim ThinkPad T61!) haben wir inzwischen ein seltsames Phänomen, welches im Laufe der letzten 1-2 Monate auftrat und noch auftritt.  Dieses Phänomen trat nicht gleichzeitig auf, sondern nacheinander.  Und es tritt willkürlich auf.  Der jüngste Fall ist gerade 1 Tag alt.  Inzwischen sind 6 ThinkPad T61 davon betroffen.
    Alle ThinkPad T61 sind Mitglieder einer Domäne (Windows Server 2003) und durchlaufen ein Loginscript.  Das Loginscript beinhaltet Batchbefehle, Kix32 (für das Mappen von Netzwerklaufwerken und Druckern) und Teile der Matrix42 Empirum Management Software (für Softwaredistribution und Inventarisierung).  Es werden Gruppenrichtlinien angewendet.  Es werden via Matrix42 Empirum automatisch die neuen Patches und Updates seitens Microsoft auf alle Computer verteilt.  Alle Computer erhalten eine unbeaufsichtigte/standardisierte Installation via Matrix42 Empirum Management Software (ähnlich einem Image und der unbeaufsichtigten Windows-Installation).  Auf allen Rechnern ist Windows XP mit Service Pack 2 installiert.  Spezielle Software ist in der Regel nicht drauf, nur Microsoft Office 2003, der aktuelle Acrobat Reader sowie die aktuellen Standardplayer: Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player, RealPlayer, VLC media player.  Ggf. noch Nero 7 Standard bzw. Platinum (Spezielle Version).  Alle IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad verwenden zusätzlich die IBM/Lenovo-Utilities „ThinkVantage“.  Das Phänomen tritt unabhängig davon auf, ob das ThinkPad T61 in einer Dockingstation betrieben wird oder nicht.  Es ist auf jedem Computer in der Windows Registrierung eingestellt, dass der Desktop erst geladen wird, wenn das Loginscript durchgelaufen ist.
    Nun zur genauen Fehlerbeschreibung:
    Manchmal kann es bei einem Kaltstart vorkommen, dass nach der Anmeldung und nach dem Loginscript –während der komplette Desktop und die Startleiste bereits sichtbar sind und noch einige Dienste geladen werden– sich die explorer.exe aufhängt.  Die Startleiste lässt sich nicht bedienen.  Ebenfalls lassen sich dann auch auf dem Desktop keine Symbole doppelklicken.
    Wir setzen auch andere Computer ein, wo dieses Phänomen nicht auftritt, u.a.:
    - HP-Computer (Desktops, Evo SFF Series)
    - Fujitsu-Siemens-Computer (Desktops, ESPRIMO E Series)
    - IBM ThinkPad T20/21
    - IBM ThinkPad T40/T41/T42
    - IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60
    Das Problem tritt nur auf den noch relativ neuen ThinkPad T61 auf.
    Wir haben bereits einen ziemlich ähnlichen Fall unter…

    [english]
    Unfortunately, I’m not fluent in the english language.
    We use a few ThinkPad T61’s in our company.  Meanwhile, at some ThinkPad T61’s (only ThinkPad T61!) we have a strange problem. This problem appears since the last 1-2 months and it still does exist.  This problem does not appear at the same time, it does appear successive.  And it appears random.  The last case is 1 day old.  Meanwhile, 6 ThinkPad T61 are concerned.
    All ThinkPad T61 are members of a domain (Windows Server 2003) and do execute a logon script.  The logon script contains Batch commands, Kix32 (for mapping network drives and printers) and parts of the Matrix42 Empirum Management software (for software distribution and inventory scan).  Group policies will apply.  Patches and updates will install on every computer via Matrix42 Empirum automatically.  All computers get a default/unattended installation via Matrix42 Empirum Management software (everywhere between an image and an unattended Windows installation).  All computers have installed Windows XP with Service Pack 2.  As a rule, special software isn’t installed, only Microsoft Office 2003, the actual Acrobat Reader and the actual default players: Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player, RealPlayer, VLC media player.  Sometimes, there is installed the Nero 7 Standard or rather Platinum (Special Edition) yet.  All IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad use IBM/Lenovo-Utilities „ThinkVantage“ additionally.  The problem exists if the ThinkPad T61 is connected to a docking station and also if the ThinkPad T61 is disconnected from a docking station.  On every computer exists a registry key which arranges it that the desktop only will be loaded after the logon script did run.
    Now the detailed error description:
    Sometimes the explorer.exe hangs after the cold start.  i.e.: The desktop (with icons and task bar) appears complete.  But the computer hangs if you try to click on the task bar or double click on any icons.  The computer will only run if we kill the process ‘explorer.exe’ and if we restart the explorer.exe.
    We use also other computers with the same installation and the same group policies where the problem does not exist, for example:
    - HP-Computer (Desktops, Evo SFF Series)
    - Fujitsu-Siemens-Computer (Desktops, ESPRIMO E Series)
    - IBM ThinkPad T20/21
    - IBM ThinkPad T40/T41/T42

    I would run System Update and make sure I had all the updates available.
    Another thing to try is:
    1. Right-click on My Computer and click Properties
    2. Click on the Advanced tab
    3. Click on Settings under Performance
    4. Click on Data Execution Prevention
    5. Click on Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select, then check Windows Explorer
    We had to do that to some machines here after a push from corporate of the new ScriptLogic.This solved the problem.

  • Firefox gets slow after awhile and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error

    Hello, it's a while that Firefox gets slow and also hangs and sometimes i get plugin-container.exe error...
    I'm not sure but maybe it often happens after monitor goes to Screen Saver or after it turns off...
    Error signature
    AppName: plugin-container.exe AppVer:1.2.9.3951
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset:0000100b

    You can run Java in Firefox.exe instead of plugin-container.exe, but I'm not sure that actually would be better than where you are now.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''java''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If '''dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled''' is true (bolded), right-click it and choose Reset (or double-click it to toggle).
    If that value already is false, you might be having a problem with another common plugin such as Flash.

    did any one can told me what should I modify or set ?

    I get randomly in my application "java.lang.IllegalStateException: HttpSession

    instance.
    weblogic.servlet.internal.session.SessionData.getAttribute(SessionData.java:410)
    Any feedback to avoid this problem is greately appreciatedThis happens because getAttribute(...) is called on an invalidated
    session. The session could have timed out or been invalidated
    explicitly by the moment the call was made.
    That may happen if you "cache" session objects.
    Hope this helps.

  • Weblogic 7.0 Server hangs on Sun Solaris 5.7

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem with weblogic server 7.0 SP2 running on jre 1.3.1_01
    Hotspot Client VM. The operating system used is SunOS 5.7 .
    Symptom : The weblogic server hangs after running for around 8 to 10 hours . the
    log file contains messages which says 'Connection created for Oracle Pool'

    Hello,
    Could you take a thread dump at that state?
    kill -3 <pid of WLS>
    Whats the state of the client application
    - Exception (PeerGone, No Router)
    - or just hangs
    Also, you could run WLS using the JRE that ships with it. AFAIK, its v1.3.1_06.

  • Iphoto hangs after upgrading to Yosemite and latest iPhoto version

    It tells me the library needs upgrading, and starts to search the library. The progress bar suggests something is happening then hangs after about 99% completion. I have had to force close twice after several hours stuck at that point and then start the whole process from scratch when I restart.

    Have you followed these instructions - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/rebuilding%20a%20corrupted%20iphoto%20li brary.html
    iPhoto Library Manager > Help > Rebuilding a corrupted iPhoto library

    Rebuilding a corrupted iPhoto library
    If you have an iPhoto library that is corrupt and causing iPhoto to crash or otherwise be unusable, iPhoto Library Manager provides the ability to rebuild your library based on the information found in its library data files. Note that iPhoto also has a built-in rebuild function that can be sometimes be used to repair a corrupted library database. You can find instructions on how to use that on Apple's website at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 (iPhoto 6 or later) or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042 (iPhoto 5 or earlier).
    iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild works differently, in that instead of trying to repair the library in place, it creates a brand new library and tries to reimport the entire contents of the original library into the new one, including reconstructing albums, photo metadata, etc. Note that rebuilding a library has all the same limitations as other photo transfer operations as far as what can and can't be copied between libraries. Also, depending on how badly damaged the library is, iPhoto Library Manager may or may not be able to piece together some or all of the library metadata.
    To start a rebuild, select the library you would like to rebuild, then choose the "Rebuild Library" item from the "Library" menu. You will be prompted to choose a location for the rebuilt library, and whether or not you want iPLM to scavenge orphaned photos it finds in the library package. Once you've made your choices, iPLM will examine the library and rebuild the library structure and photos as best it can, then display you a preview of what it was able to find. If your library is badly damaged and the preview is missing a lot of content from the original library, this can save you from going through with a rebuild that won’t end up being of much help.
    Once you've had a chance to examine the preview, if you want to go forward and create the rebuilt library, click the "Rebuild" button in the upper right. iPhoto Library Manager will create a new library and start importing the contents of the original library into the new one.
    Scavenging photos
    In some cases, either the iPhoto library database is too damaged for iPhoto Library Manager to be able to salvage any information from it, or the library data is incomplete and there are photos that still exist inside the library package, but iPhoto has lost track of them. In these cases, you may want to check the "Scavenge orphaned photos" checkbox when choosing a location for the rebuilt library. After iPhoto Library Manager has read the library data as best it can, it will perform an additional pass through the package and locate any photos that are no longer referenced in the library database. Any additional photos that are found will be included in the rebuild, and a new "Scavenged Photos" album will be created in the rebuilt library containing any scavenged photos.

  • Powerbook G4 hangs after few minutes of usage

    Since February 06 I have a PB G4: 1.67GHZ, model Powerbook5,8
    Since this weekend it hangs after a few minutes of usage.
    I tried a whole load of possible solutions, like resetting the RAM, removing the battery and holding the powerbutton for 5 seconds...I even held it once for half a minute, but that didn't help. Checking the harddrive with disk utility (tried it often, but only once did the PB work long enough to get the end result: hard drive is healthy).
    Often, when it hangs, I can get it to work by simply turning it off and on again. That gives me another window of 2 minutes of usage! Handy throughout the day when I need a file, or a document: I simply boot the machine, get the file and shut it down.
    Carbon copy to an external HD does not work: the system hangs a few minutes after copying.
    I installed a utility named applejack, and the first time I tried it, I got an interesting error: there were errors with the USB controller or USB bus, and system hangs. I didn't make a screenshot so this is out of the top of my head.
    This was interesting because when I tried to make a HD copy (and believe me: I tried lots and lots of times), the system freezes first, and then an error about not unmounting a device popped into the screen. As if the touchpad, keyboards, and all other i/o devices stop working, and the system goes on for a few seconds more.
    Sometimes the system just hangs, sometimes I get that black kernel panic screen.
    Just before writing this, I tried the hardware test on the install CD once more:
    Held down the option key, chose the hardware test -> quick test and..
    system hangs after completion of the test
    A message appeared in the bottom-left corner. Several lines of information, starting with:
    "ERROR, Write to location ZERO detected!!, Loc zero was originally zero
    Current File: Localization/en/Scripts/enAHTscript.sc"
    etc
    I live on a nice island in the Caribbean, so popping into the nearest Apple store means getting on a flight to Miami first.
    What -if any- are my options? Is there something I can try to do myself before shipping it to Apple? Opening the case, checking this or that?
    By the way, I originally posted this in the Titanium folder, but someone mentioned that I might actually have a Aluminum PB.
    see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2074854#2074854

    I see in here "AppleUSBTrackpad" and "AppleUSBOHCI".
    Referring to my original post: I have seen an error (a few days ago, when working with applejack) that also mentioned USB.
    I'm very afraid that this is a hardware issue. Reading through some other posts, I saw something about a ribbon that gave problems. What are your thoughts?

  • Upgrading Weblogic 8.1, SP2 to Weblogic 8.1, SP6

    wanna to the code changes that are required in web application while upgrading Weblogic 8.1, SP2 to Weblogic 8.1, SP6.

    I am currently conducting the same type of upgrade. We have Platform 8.1 SP2 installed. We would like to upgrade to SP3, but I was not sure if any patches were required before the upgrade. After several dicussions with BEA Technical Support, here is what I learned.
    To upgrade 8.1 SP2 to SP3, you must first install the following patch...
    http://dev2dev.bea.com/products/wlplatform81/patch/wlplat81sp2_patch.jsp
    ...then use SmartUpdate to upgrade the SP3.
    If you choose to fully install 8.1 SP3, then you do not need to install the patch because 8.1 SP3 includes the pacthes. Installing the patches would make no difference anyway since the SP2 installation would be deleted to make room for the SP3 installation. This option is not an upgrade, it is a full installation.
    Hope it helps!

  • Weblogic 8.1 SP2 ORA-01000 caused by Weblogic's pending XA recovery process.

    Hi, we are migrating our application from Weblogic 6.1 SP5 to Weblogic 8.1
    SP2 and we are facing the nasty ORA-01000 problem.
    After tracking it for some days we happened to find "what" was causing it.
    After issuing the following select on an Oracle instance used by a weblogic
    running for a day
    SELECT sql_text,count(*) FROM V$OPEN_CURSOR
    GROUP BY sql_text
    ORDER BY sql_text
    and this is what we get::
    SQL_TEXT COUNT(*)
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = 'AMERICAN' 2
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY = 'AMERICA' 2
    SELECT 1 FROM DUAL 2
    SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER =' 2
    SELECT count (*) FROM SYS.DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS 2
    SELECT formatid, globalid, branchid FROM SYS.DBA_PENDING_TRA 2669
    SELECT max(version) FROM "SYS"."JAVA$POLICY$SHARED$TABLE" 2
    begin :1 := JAVA_XA.xa_commit_new (:2,:3,:4,:5); end; 2
    begin :1 := JAVA_XA.xa_end_new(:2,:3,:4,:5); end; 2
    begin :1 := JAVA_XA.xa_start_new(:2,:3,:4,:5,:6); end; 2
    insert into javasnm$(short, longname, longdbcs) values(:1,:2 2
    select longname from javasnm$ where short = :1 2
    (In fact there are two Weblogic instances running against the same Oracle
    instance and as we didn't filtered by connection I supouse that's why
    numbers "seem" to be "duplicated")
    We do currently have 1500 cursors max declared for session in our Oracle's
    ora.init file.
    After activating Weblogic's jdbc.log we have seen that with an interval of 5
    seconds the
    SELECT formatid, globalid, branchid FROM SYS.DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS
    is issued against the DBMS.
    After executing both selects on an SQLPLUS console we have seen that the
    SELECT count(*)... sentence returns 1 and after looking at
    SYS.DBA_2PC_PENDING table there is one transaction on it (although it was
    already manually rollback forced three months ago). I know we should delete
    already forced transactions in order to clean up that table but the fact is
    we didn't and maybe that is what is causing Weblogic issuing the second
    select (the SELECT formatid, globalid... one) periodically.
    A number of questions come to our mind:
    1. Is this Weblogic's correct behaviour? I mean, is it normal for weblogic
    to issue this select every five seconds?
    If yes.
    2. Why is this select leaving opened cursors? I presume that this select is
    being executed within a transaction and it's neither commited nor rolledback
    If actually it is being executed within a transaction then:
    3. Why is Weblogic opening a transaction to issue a select?
    As additional info we have two datasources configured into our weblogic
    server, I must say we do use TopLink as our persistence manager and it
    requires both transactional (XA) and not transactional datasources to work.
    We are using Oracle thin drivers (classes12.zip) to connect to an Oracle
    8.1.7 database instance. I know that Weblogic 8.1 now ships with the
    ojdbc14.jar Oracle thin driver classes but we are not sure if we can use it
    with Oracle 8.1.7 (as it seems to be prepared to be used with Oracle 9.0.2.
    Is it?).
    Looking at jdbc.log we can also see this at the beginging of the file:
    java.sql.SQLException: SQL operations are not allowed with no global
    transaction by default for XA drivers. If the XA driver supports performing
    SQL operations with no global transaction, explicitly allow it by setting
    "SupportsLocalTransaction" JDBC connection pool property to true. In this
    case, also remember to complete the local transaction before using the
    connection again for global transaction, else a XAER_OUTSIDE XAException may
    result. To complete a local transaction, you can either set auto commit to
    true or call Connection.commit() or Connection.rollback().
    I have readed somewhere at edocs.bea.com that Weblogic 8.1 -by default-
    begins a transaction whenever using an XA connection (as some XA drivers
    require a transaction to be started when using them, although IIRC this can
    be disabled on Weblogic's console). If in fact it happens that we can
    disable the default transaction oppening when using an XA connection, is it
    safe? Is there a prefered way to solve this than disabling the transaction
    "auto begining" feature?
    I think there is also possible to disable Weblogic's pending transactions
    auto-recover mechanism but we think this is a great Weblogic feature and we
    would prefer not having to do it. As in two years we have managed to get
    about three of them due to unexpected server crashes (even if it those cases
    Weblogic 6.1 didn't managed to recover them at least it showed the problem
    on the log).
    Thanks if advance.
    Regards.
    Ignacio.

    Seems that removing classes12.zip from the classpath solves the problem. I
    don't get that periodic error any more so now I don't get the ORA-01000. I
    still seeing -from time to time- the "SQL operations are not allowed with no
    global
    transaction by default for XA drivers" error in the jdbc.log though, so I
    presume the ORA-01000 would raise sooner or later but now with a much larger
    period after starting the server.
    Well there seems that ojdbc14.jar has not so subtle changes. Let's hope
    there are not "newer" issues with it that would not happen with
    classes12.zip.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Mountain Lion + Dell U2713hm hangs after wake-up

    This is a more specific description of my problems here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4385171
    I use a Dell U2713hm together with a MacBookPro Retina under Mountain Lion. The Dell is connected via the Thunderboldt to DVI-D adapter that is sold by apple. The Dell has a USB 3 Hub. The upstream is connected to the Apple-DVI adapter. I use a mouse and a Logitech keyboard, which are connected to the Dell USB hub.
    The display blanks from time to time for some seconds, which is suboptimal and I would be greateful if this could be fixed. But the biggest problem is that the system hangs after wake up. Sometimes the external monitor just stays dark, sometimes I get the login screen, but cannot type since the swapping wheel is shown. I have to reboot the machine.
    To me this looks like a USB(3) sync problem.
    If there are any ways around this I would be really glad. Is there a way to disable USB3? I also noticed that the speed of components that is displayed in the system profiler depends on the ports I use for keyboard, mouse and camera ...
    Thanks!

    The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
    As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes hang after latest updates

    Since the last updates to my iMac iI find that the iTunes is constantly Hanging. It does not matter if I'm not using iTunes, as soon as its working in the background it hangs sooner or later. When I work with my music files in iTunes it usually hangs after less than 30 minutes.
    How can this be?
    I do not want to start with a new music player since I have used iTunes for the last 10 years and I have all my music in it.
    But the way its acting now it seem like I have to use something else since iTunes is simply not working properly.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in 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 and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.
