Curious Max OS X Console Lines

[bjastbf]

   

Using the Mac OS X Leopard Council program, I have notice several lines which continually repeat themselves while my Mac is running.  The repetition of these lives doesn't seem healthy to me.  Can someone tell if this is normal, or if there is something errant in my setup/system?

 

Thanks

Digging a little deeper I also found these rather ominous lines:

 

Jul 20 07:22:37 Bill ReportCrash[170]: Formulating crash report for process NasNavigator2[140]

Jul 20 07:22:38 Bill com.apple.SystemStarter[32]: /Library/StartupItems/NASPower/NASPower.sh: line 14:   140 Trace/BPT trap          ./${EXECBIN} -list active > ${LOGFILE} 2>&1

   Whats the model number of your NAS? Are you actually having any problems or are you just looking for some?!?!

It's a LinkStation Live 1/2 Gig.

 

I am having some odd system behavior, which is why I was checking the Console report information.

 

I know enough about unix to know that: NASPower.sh is a shell script located at:

 

/Library/StartupItems/NASPower/

 

I've read the script, but cannot be certain that this is why Console is repeatedly running the following information every minute - it seems unwarranted:

 

 

Jul 20 13:42:08 Bill NasNavigator2[566]: OK. Complete to scan drives.

Jul 20 13:42:08 Bill NasNavigator2[566]: execute: <NASListModeCommandPrepare: 0x127350> end

Jul 20 13:42:08 Bill NasNavigator2[566]: execute: <NASListModeCommandMain: 0x141c10> start

Jul 20 13:42:08 Bill NasNavigator2[566]: execute: <NASListModeCommandMain: 0x141c10> end

Jul 20 13:42:08 Bill NasNavigator2[566]: execute: <NASListModeCommand: 0x1b8b30> end

 

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

This is what keeps the unit powered on when you have the switch set to auto power mode.

 

I have my switch set to auto-power mode.  When I killed the NASPower.sh process, the unit powered off after a couple of minutes.

 

I restarted the process and it came back to life.

 

Should be unnecessary when you have the swtch set to always on.

 

I agree it adds too many lines to the system.log file.  Makes it a pain when you are looking for other things.

I am getting a repetitious Bus Error in Console from line 14 of NASPower.sh. 

Looking at the shell script it doesn't look complete and seems to finish mid-word. Here it is in it's entirety:

 

#!/bin/sh

#

EXECBIN=NasNavigator2.app/Contents/MacOS/NasNavigator2

LOGFILE=NasNavigator2.log

#

cd `dirname $0`

if [ "$1" = "-shutdown" ]; then

        ./${EXECBIN} -list shutdown >${LOGFILE} 2>&1

else

        while :; do

                ./${EXECBIN} -list active >${LOGFILE} 2>&1

                sleep 60

        done

fi

 

If anyone could tell me what the missing lines are it would be very handy. The bus error this script produces appears to interrupt video playback and is very annoying.

 

Thanks
