[GNC] Scheduled Transactions creating but not posting in register

[smada46 at hotmail.com]

John,

I attempted to open GC and having it write to Terminal using  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --logto=stderr.  GC   opened and SLR showed two Scheduled Transactions (STs) had been created but were not in the register.  There was nothing really written to Terminal as shown below: 

dwa1 at dwa1 ~ % /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --logto=stderr
Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

(process:18916): gnc.gui-WARNING **: 13:44:02.529: [mac_set_languages()] Language list: en:en_US:C
Found Finance::Quote version 1.51.

Thought maybe I needed “pass" in front of —logto=stderr so ran: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash pass --logto=stderr. Got an error and GC didn’t open.  Terminal output is below:

dwa1 at dwa1 ~ % /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash pass --logto=stderr
Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

(process:19454): gnc.gui-WARNING **: 13:55:48.928: [mac_set_languages()] Language list: en:en_US:C

Earlier I used the command find /var/folders $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace to find the path to the .trace file with the following results (I removed all the purely Apple stuff as there were pages of it)

dwa1 at dwa1 ~ % find /var/folders $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace

I have highlighted in red what I believe is the path to the trace file but have been unable to open it or read it in terminal as I do not know what command is needed to bring it up to read. In your e-mail you stated I could use the variable  less $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace to read the file but when I put that in Terminal I get the following:

dwa1 at dwa1 ~ %  less $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace

~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
~
(END)

So I don’t know how that variable is supposed to work and with what command.  I am unsure where to go from here but I need the trace to send to figure out why ST is creating the transactions but not putting them in the register.  Appreciate your help.

To have a stdin, stdout, and stderr connection to the shell running in Terminal you must run GnuCash directly; if you installed it in /Applicattions you'd use
