Need help with understanding Console code

Please remove the lines that refer to Safari and post the rest.

Back up all data. Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar. The Library folder will open. Delete these items from it:

Preferences/org.processing.app.plist.lockfile

Saved Application State/org.processing.app.savedState

and move these to the Desktop:

Preferences/org.processing.app.plist

Processing

Test.

Try deleting or moving these items from the Library folder (some may not exist):

Caches/Java

Preferences/AEJava.plist

Preferences/com.apple.java.*

Preferences/java.plist

Preferences/JavaApplicationStub.plist

Here * stands for any string.

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If they seem inefficient, that's because I'm trying to solve a problem with an application I've never used and know nothing about.

Run yet another shell command:

You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.

Now take the action that causes the crash. Post the output.

Important: There seems to be an obscure bug in OS X that sometimes causes input to lag or stutter after running opensnoop. If you notice this behavior, simply reboot to clear it.

Recall earlier today, the problem application worked when I logged in as a guest user.

What accounts for that?

What accounts for it is that something in your home folder, or perhaps in another folder belonging to you, is causing the crash. You seem to have ruled out most possibilities. When you launch the application, are you opening a document you created, or the app itself? Have you created any documents with it?

You have more than your fair share of strange crashes. Can you launch Acrobat and Dashcode? Is your Xcode installation up to date? Are any other applications crashing?

Shell command:

open $TMPDIR../C

Delete everything in the folder that opens. Log out, log back in, and test.

It will save time if you can be more specific in your responses. Which of the following does that mean:

1. The command produced no output (expected.)

2. A folder didn't open (not expected.)

3. A folder opened, you deleted the contents and logged out, and there was no change.
