Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the SmedgeEngine or SmedgeMaster icon bounce in the Dock so long?

The SmedgeMaster and SmedgeEngine services can be started just by double clicking their icons on all platforms. However, on OS-X, because the program does not currently include any GUI interface code, the Dock system keeps it bouncing until a timeout is reached. This bouncing does not affect operation in any way, and it does eventually stop.

To stop the Master or Engine if it has been started this way, you click on the icon in the Dock and choose Force Quit, or use SmedgeGui's built in System-wide exit command. You must be in Administrator Mode to access this command. See the SmedgeGui reference in the User Manual for more information.
