Growl Issue: process "SuperDuper!" doesn't understand the exists message
 
Hi there, I'm running into a bit of an issue with Growl notifications at a client. We're running Smart Updates every night with Growl setup to post sticky notification of backup success or failure. If the staff come in in the morning and see that the backup has failed, I get the call. Lately all they're getting in the morning is the happy little Growl bubble with the message
Code:

"SuperDuper! Copy Failed (Copy of Internal Drive to Weekday Backup failed. System Events got an error: process "SuperDuper!" doesn't understand the exists message.)"
Enabling Growl logging in the Console gives basically the exact same message, as I suspected it would:
Code:

GrowlHelperApp[4611] 2007-01-12 23:30:35 -0700 SuperDuper!: SuperDuper! Copy Failed (Copy of Internal Drive to Weekday Backup failed. System Events got an error: process "SuperDuper!" doesn't understand the exists message.) - Priority 0
However, the backup isn't actually failing, and when I consult SD's log for the scheduled backup in question it shows it completing as expected. Is there anything that could be causing this issue?

As per a previous thread of mine, I'm running a script that automatically hides SD (checking every few seconds) to avoid any Intel crashing issues. I'll try disabling the script tonight and see if that could be the cause, however nothing in my script should be interfering with Growl functionality. The backup scripts that I have scheduled do call for SD to quit after it completes; could SD simply be quitting/freezing when Growl is trying to post its notification?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

It's possible that your own script is causing the shared execution environment to set an error condition, Matt. Are you using an "exists" call?

Mr. CoBalt 01-15-2007 01:22 PM

No, no "exists" calls. The closest I get is checking System Events for the name of the process (to determine if SD is running) and then calling on System Events to change the visible state of the process.

Hm, strange. Anyone else seeing this?

Mr. CoBalt 01-16-2007 12:18 PM

Well, I quit my auto-hide script for last night's backup and it all went through fine with a "Succeeded" message in Growl. I guess my System Events calls are somehow interfering with SD's talking to Growl...

Strange...
