Console message UserEventAgent

Any clue as to what this console message is refering to?


9/1/12 5:01:29.831 PM UserEventAgent[169]: cannot find fw daemon port 1102



I get this message after each restart.


Not finding something is usually not good.


Sorry I have no clue what catagory this should be in.

Apple TV, OS X Mountain Lion, iMac 27(mid2010), OSi5, iPodTouch

Good luck finding out what this means or any message containing 1102. No one seems to know. I have some Console messages with "1102" such as


"cannot find fw daemon port 1102"


"cannot find useragent 1102"


"failed sending message to GetScreensharing, err: 1102".


With Mountain Lion, start-up is noticably longer and I have tried many of the suggestions. Now I need to get down to the nitty gritty and find out what some of these error messages are so I can actually do something about it. With all the experts in the Apple community you'd think there was at least one person who knew what it meant! ONE!

Still no real clue what the import of this error is, but 169 is just the pid (process ID) of a /usr/libexec/UserEventAgent process, and so not significant in itself.


Such processes are kicked off by these:

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.UserEventAgent-LoginWindow.plist

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.UserEventAgent-System.plist

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.UserEventAgent-Aqua.plist


man UserEventAgent says, among other things

The UserEventAgent utility is a daemon that loads system-provided plugins to handle high-level system events which cannot be monitored directly by launchd(8). The UserEventAgent utility should not be invoked

directly
