Re: Hidden process running preventing re-install/removal

Found it – or one of them

In Terminal, type “locate libPO”

And you will see the libraries that post office has running

What is frustrating is that Post Office has no current uninstall program. I refuse to run a program written for 10.1 on a production X Serve running 10.3.9.

At this point, I have literally “ripped” post office out. The problems, while I cannot document them, are to much. I am back to using the system itself for mail, and liking it much better. Sorry.

Subject: Re: Hidden process running preventing re-install/removal

You might run Terminal, type "top" and watch which process is hogging the processor. Then look for that component on your machine. Maybe the background process isn't called "post.office".... Blaine After spending some hours yesterday morning trying to re-install Post.office without luck, I resorted to manually deleting Post.office. Problem is, even after this, and after several reboots, and not having an install of Post.office running, there is still apparently some remnant of Post.office running on the system. This prevents re-installing the program and is bringing the server to a crawl. Does anyone know the hidden processes that post.office creates? I can even do "locate post.office" and several variations of this from the command line and I get nothing - that is how thoroughly I have removed the files. I updated the locate database as well to ensure that I was getting the right information. And I deleted items in the receipts folder. Please, any help is appreciated. _____________ Derrick Peavy Sales and Web Services Universal Advertising <http://www.universaladvertising.com>http://www.universaladvertising.com <http://www.collegeadvertising.com>http://www.collegeadvertising.com <http://www.collegeclassifieds.com>http://www.collegeclassifieds.com ___________________________________ -- Blaine Fergerstrom | ZZ-Type | zztype@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.zztype.com | http://alohatown.com Kamehameha Schools | blferger@xxxxxxxx | http://oahu.ksbe.edu --------- Tenon Intersystems' Post.Office Mailing List To unsubscribe: send mailto:post_office-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the body only containing: unsubscribe Find the searchable mailing list archives at: http://postoffice.computeroil.com/
