QRecall

Charles Watts-Jones

I'm running OS 10.4.10 on an Intel iMac. I upgraded to beta 54 yesterday, reauthorised and agreed the installation requested. I then restarted. I did not delete/recreate my Actions (a mistake?) and left QRecall to run early this morning when I was logged out, this is my normal practice. On checking the log, I found that the Helper had failed, as shown in the attached file (the full log has been sent to James).

Charles,

Looking at the logs, it appears that you upgraded to 1.0.0(54) and restarted immediately. After restarting, you then installed the scheduler, but there's no restart following the scheduler install. It's after replacing the scheduler daemon that OS X gets confused.

Please restart once more and see if the problems persist.

Footnote:

You can test to see if the scheduler can start an action by manually running any action from Actions window. Select an action (something harmless, like a Verify it good) and choose Action > Run Immediately. If the action starts, then the scheduler and helper are both working.

The Run Immediately command tells the scheduler to start an action. The scheduler uses, essentially, the same mechanism that's used when starting an action at a scheduled time, confirming that it can start and communicate with actions.

Clearly I misread the instructions on upgrading - senior moment? Have now run the Verify command as an Action and as an Archive/Verify from the menu. Both ran without difficulty. Also, having opened my archive, I found that this (early) morning's back-up ran; I'd assumed it hadn't as I'd seen all those error messages. Thanks

The instructions were, admittedly, a bit vague. They read "After upgrading it is recommended that you restart the system." So you can be excused for assuming that after reauthorizing that it was time to restart.

My apologies for the confusion.
