Repeated Console message

[howardm]

Hi,

I see this endlessly repeated in Console on my Mac (El Capitan):

....

What does this mean ?

Is there a problem ?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what that is. HazelHelper is not run by launchd (at least not for over 7 years) and I've never heard of KeepHazelHelperRunning. Where did you download Hazel from and what version is it?

[howardm]

Update:

1. I don't see any Hazel-related item in Launch Agents in ~/Library
2. I went to Preferences: Users&Groups: Login Items, and removed Hazel from that location (I cannot recall if I added it there myself.)
3. I updated Hazel to Version 3.3.6 -build 1269

I don't see the repeating message in Console any more.

It's still a bit troubling as to what that process was. Did you ever download Hazel from anywhere else besides this site?

[howardm]

No, I didn't download it from anywhere else.

Extra information:

I found a folder— /private/var/log/com.apple.xpc.launchd— relevant to my original posting.

It does not contain anything (at least at present). I don't know what this is.

That file is probably normal as its just a part of the built-in xpc/launchd stuff. I say keep an eye on it and if you see it happen again, report back.
