[SOLVED]Is there any options to start "rapidminer.jar" as "safe mode"?

Satoshi_Kitajim

Hi, I have a problem and I apriciate if someone can help me.
Since I installed some of extensions, RapidMiner tend to freeze when I hit [Run] button.
I might installed different version of extensions.

...anyway, I'd like to start RapidMiner as "safe mode" (extensions are not loaded).
I currently using RapidMiner 5.3.012 on OSX, and I usually start RapidMiner executing following file.

--------rapidminer.command---------------
#!/bin/sh
cd `dirname $0`
java -Xmx12G -jar rapidminer.jar
-----------------------------------------

Is there any options to start "rapidminer.jar" as "safe mode"?

Best regards,

Hi Satoshi,

RapidMiner has a Safemode but the user is only asked if the initialization if RapidMiner has gone wrong the last time it has started.
Currently you cannot force it to start in Safe mode. But there is a workaround:
- Start RapidMiner
- Wait a second
- Kill the starting RapidMiner process
- Restart RapidMiner

Now there should be an dialog which asks you to start in Safe mode.

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

Thank you for your help. I tried to start "Safe mode" in the following way.

1. hit the "rapidminer.command" as above mentioned (java -Xmx12G -jar rapidminer.jar)
2. Open a Terminal window automatically, and I can see starting RapidMiner
3. I open another Terminal window and type "ps" command.

~ $ ps
 PID TTY           TIME CMD
2784 ttys000    0:00.01 -bash
2787 ttys000    0:00.00 /bin/sh /Applications/rapidminer/lib/rapidminer.comman
2789 ttys000    0:21.93 /usr/bin/java -Xmx12G -jar rapidminer.jar
2653 ttys001    0:00.02 -bash

4. type "kill" and process #.

~ $ kill 2789
~ $ ps
 PID TTY           TIME CMD
2653 ttys001    0:00.02 -bash

(I also tried "kill 2787")

5. hit the "rapidminer.command" again.

It seems like nothing happens.

I would recommend you to start RapidMiner via the start script:

cd %RAPIDMINER_HOME
./scripts/RapidMinerGui.sh

Then abort the start with Ctrl+C and restart RM again.
