Hi folks,
Since I moved from Lion to Sierra, I meet a number of problems with XQuartz, some I solved, some I am stuck.
One general problem is slowliness. The start of a shell or a subshell can take ages now.
A very annoying problem is the following :
I used to launch a Rsync procedure in a .csh file towards an external HD via a crontab scheduler.
With Lion, it was working smoothly, making a backup every day.
With Sierra, the program starts but hangs up. A ps -A shows me 3 occurences of rsync doing nothing and the disk cannot be dismounted without forcing it.
If I launch the .csh file by hand, it does the job! and I don’t need to sudo it.
I tried with a crontab inside my account or as administrator (sudo), it makes no difference.
If anyone can tell me what goes wrong or what to try to recover the ”old” behaviour, I would be glad.
Thanks,
L. Pagani
