#78241 — Terminal command to disable disk swapping in El Capitan

FromJohn Albert <j.albert@snet.net>
Date2015-07-31 11:26 -0400
SubjectTerminal command to disable disk swapping in El Capitan
Message-ID<55bb934e$0$2981$2c56edd9@usenetrocket.com>
Hello all -

I'm looking for the terminal command that can be used to turn off VM 
disk swapping for El Capitan.

In the past I've used this one:
sudo launchctl unload -wF 
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist

... but I'm not sure if that's the correct one.

Aside:
I don't require a lecture on why I shouldn't do this, it's for 
experimental purposes only on a drive volume that is not my "main drive"...

Thanks...

then why don't you explain what you're actually trying to do and why
you need to turn it off.

'cause it's his computer and he can set it up to experiment as he sees fit.

he can, just as other people can tell him it's a really stupid idea.

that's why i asked what he's really trying to do. maybe there's a much
better solution to whatever it is.

also, with el capitan, it might not be possible to disable virtual
memory due to the 'rootless' protection, however, i haven't tested
that.

Could be.

Sure hope Apple eventually (soon) support code signing for the likes of 
Raging Menace et al for programs that need access to deep data.

meanwhile, istat menus, which does the same thing (and more), already
has a beta version that's compatible with el capitan. 

<https://bjango.com/help/>
  OS X 10.11 introduced some changes that mean iStat Menus 5.1 and
  earlier will not run. iStat Menus 5.11 addresses those issues, and is
  currently in beta. If you¹d like to try the beta, please download
  it here: iStat Menus 5.11 beta

in other words, whatever issue that menumeters claims to have is not
due to apple.

Have to wait for the official (post-beta) release of 10.11 methinks 
before declaring that.

I prefer MenuMeters for the use I make of such.

if it's really code signing, how did bjango manage to codesign it when
ragingmenace said it's not possible?

I don't know that code signing is the issue with monitoring programs 
including Bjango.  Further, Raging Menace don't attribute their issue to 
SIP specifically.

SIP (as I understand it) wants to protect key filespace from 
unauthorized _writes_.

Data about how the system is performing should be available passively as 
a _read_ (and not necessarily from file space). (IMO).

Meh. This doesn't seem to have prevented Bjango from getting iStat Menus
working (and IMO iStat Menus is far better than MenuMeters):

"Software developers are now blocked from editing or writing to certain
protected files and folders within OS X – or from executing code that
tinkers with the system.

Marc Edwards, of Bjango software, is one such developer.

"We had to make some changes to get iStat Menus working again" he
admits. iStat Menus is a popular system-monitoring app for the Mac that
until now has relied on accessing system files. Bjango already has a
working beta of iStat Menus that plays nice under Apple's new rules, but
not all developers will be able to work under El Capitan's restrictions."

They're probably not using MenuCracker, among other things.

A similar problem -

That's what iStat Menus provides, yes. And it does it better than
MenuMeters, IMO.

I haven't used iStat Menus in a long time, but at the time I chose Menu 
Meters for it's simple, clean, sparse use of the menu bar.

Both offer roughly the same menu bar options, only iStat gives you more
options and better integration with things like the OS X calendar:

<https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/>

iStat just does it better, and with fewer malfunctions, IME.

To each, their own, of course. Just stating an opinion. : )

I've never had a "malfunction" with Menu Meters that I'm aware of.  It 
just sits up there telling me the state of the things that concern me 
(CPU use, memory used and ethernet throughput).

I may turn off memory use though.  I've got gobs of the stuff and may 
add another 16 GB.  Because.

I've had plenty of issues with MenuMeters - from silly drawing glitches
to insuficient or buggy temperature sensor support, along with crashes
and other problems - from roughly 2003 through 2006 or so. I finally
switched to iStat Menus in frustration and have had a much more pleasant
experience. I also find iStat Menus to be much better looking and more
fully featured then MenuMeters. iStat Menus is updated way more
frequently too.

I usually have sensors, cup, memory, storage, and network menu extras
displayed.

Just as another data point: I also have iStat Menus (a friend pointed me
at MenuMeters but I never tried itas I didn't like the look of it).

I have a rather full menu bar so don't want a lot of status indicators
updating all the time, so I went with the "combined" option for iStat
Menus, with everything enabled inside it. That gives me a single click
target through which I can quickly see the main details in a menu, with
submenus for detail. Works for me.

A decade ago!  So sorry!  I've been using Menu Meters on several Macs 
since early 2008 and other than the settings needing to be redone a few 
times (and that was in the previous decade, not this one) I've had zero 
issues.

I've found all that to be more distraction than useful of late.  On my 
previous iMac it was marginally useful.  On this one pretty useless.  A 
visual of CPU load and ethernet load seem to be the only things worth 
monitoring.  (Actually on the i7QuadC not even CPU, on my SO's new MBA, 
perhaps).

Note I have a widget to occasionally look at the amount of storage left 
on the 5 physical drives that are always attached - but even then I 
don't look at that much.  When there's less than 100 GB on a drive I'll 
order a larger one.

(I may even have an iStat license but I'm not sure anymore!  That would 
date from ~2008/2009).

MenuMeters doesn't look at temperature sensors.
