ceagleI was working on a (system X) Mac that exhibits the following error consistently every time it is shut down or restarted...
Any ideas what's happening and what could fix it?
EDIT: (provided as help to anyone else who might encounter this)
The Maintenance functions cured it!! :D
Took a while to find it though... the commands
sudo periodic [daily weekly monthly]
are generally useful with most versions of System X being run these days, but this customer wants to keep using 10.1.5 which gives them some dialog box options on their giant format printer that 10.4.x does not, so they wanna keep it.
The command for maintenance on pre 10.2.x systems is
sudo sh /etc/[daily weekly monthly]
instead. I used to know this, but couldn't remember the exact phrasing, and it was harder to find this go 'round, with the passing of time I guess.
These earlier systems also don't have easy ways to fix permissions, so luckily Apple provides a permissions fixing tool (which did keep crashing toward the end, but I guess maybe it helped some, unless the sudo tools did it all).
Anyways... good to have a happy customer! ^v^
