I experience hangs on start up with Softimage if it didn't close regularly. It seems that the problem is with the MW stuff somewhere. I didn't find the exact cause of it though. The solution to it is to call the mwcleanup utility to cleanup the dog shit lying all over the place. here is how I do it:
tcsh -c 'cd /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2013_SP1/;source ./.xsi_2013_SP1;./Application/mainwin/mw/bin-amd64_linux_optimized/mwcleanup -s' after the magic has been done I can start Softimage in a normal manner. I hope this helps Cheers Vladimir On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 5:43 PM, Alan Fregtman <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey guys, > > Does anyone know if anything changed in 2013 from 2012 that would cause > ridiculous startup slowdowns? > > At work we have CentOS 6.3.
