Freezing in Monterey

[Matt Packwood]

@Russ I have been messing around and the issue seems to be after a reboot, if the program / app is started "automatically", it then freezes / I force quit, restart and no issues....

[Matt Packwood]

@Russ Has anyone else reported this? Are there any log files I can check?

[Russ]

@matt-packwood , no one except you has reported it yet. My Mac won't upgrade to Monterey but I'll see if AWS offers a way to run it in the cloud. It will be much easier to fix if I can reproduce it.

[tuicemen]

@russ @Matt-Packwood There is a thread developer forum that may help shed some light on this.

[Russ]

@matt-packwood,

Can you check under the Login Items tab in System Preferences, Users and Groups? You should have a TRIGGERcmdAgent entry in there. Please delete it (or all of them if you have multiple). Then close and re-open the TRIGGERcmdAgent app. It should re-install the login item.

I'm just thinking something might have gone wrong when it was added initially, but I admit, I'm grasping.

[Matt Packwood]

@Russ it was in Start-Up twice, I followed your instructions and am now testing...

[Matt Packwood]

@Russ It works for a few minutes then freezes....

[Matt Packwood]

@Russ TRIGGERcmdAgent Helper is running, TRIGGERcmdAgent is Not Responding.

[Russ]

@matt-packwood , bummer. What is TRIGGERcmdAgent Helper? Can you send a screenshot?

@matt-packwood, do you have any antivirus software on your Mac? You could try disabling that temporarily to see if that's killing the agent somehow. That might explain why it's happening on your mac but no one else has seen it.

[Matt Packwood]

@russ Ah!!!! It is Sophos Anti-Virus... Now I need to see how to stop it "killing TriggerCMD".

[tuicemen]

@matt-packwood, Just an Idea (I don't run a Mac) What if you didn't allow Sophos service to auto load on startup then start the service after TRIGGERcmd had loaded? I suspect Sophos service is loading first.
This seems to indicate you can stop and start Sophos

[Matt Packwood]

@tuicemen I know that what I am about to say is different than your suggestion but I think it is relevant. I started without Sophos working then turned it on, TriggerCMd was killed...

[Russ]

@matt-packwood, thank you. That helps me to know that because I should fix that if I can. I used to use Sophos. It's good AV.

I'll see if I can figure out why Sophos thinks the triggercmd agent is a virus. I hope I can get a free scanner from their site and reproduce the problem. Stay tuned.

EDIT: I scanned with the free SophosScanAndClean_x64.exe tool and it did not identify my Windows TRIGGERcmd agent as a virus. I'll try the Mac version next.

[Matt Packwood]

@russ I am running on an iMac, also I am reaching out to Sophos support...

[Russ]

@matt-packwood, thank you. My Mac Sophos scan came back clean, and the agent still worked afterward, so I'm not going to be able to reproduce it unless maybe I buy a copy of Sophos. Let me know what they say please.

[Matt Packwood]

@russ I got it working, I had to add the agent to the exclusions (see picture).

[Russ]

@matt-packwood, good. Thanks for showing that to other users too.
