ClearSafariCache.sh Stuck
-
The clearSafariCache.sh endless process has returned despite changing permissions as you described previously. Permissions are:

I have removed Cookie from StartUp Items for the time being in the hope you can find a permanent solution to this problem.

are you using the Mac App Store, or the version from my store @pumpkin?
-
Purchase directly from you april 30, 2016. Order #27069. Current rev 5.2.1.
-
have you tried a computer restart?
that can sometimes fix strange issues like this -
Not wanting to jinx anything but I did a reboot and so far all is well!

I have got the same problem and found a solution: Change the script clearSafariCache.sh from
find /private/var/folders \! -name "*SafariTechnologyPreview*" -name "*com.apple.Safari*" -exec rm -r {} \;to
find /private/var/folders \! -name "*SafariTechnologyPreview*" -name "*com.apple.Safari*" -exec rm -r {} \; 2>/dev/nullBecause the original script throws "Permission denied" errors and therefore opens the file descriptor stderr, it seems that the parent process (com.apple.foundation.UserScriptService) can't close it as long as a file is open.

Thanks ralf!
I'll update the script to your solution.

This seems to be occurring with the App Store Cookie 5.12 under macOS 10.15.6 as well as earlier macOS versions. I see a gear icon appear in the menu bar. When I click on the gear icon, I see "clearSafariCache.sh Running" followed by "clearSafariCache.sh Failed". I've checked all the "fixes" in this thread and found that none apply to my situation. Any ideas?
-
I have this fixed in Cookie v6.0.17
-
@SweetP If your Cookie v6.0.17 fix works in Cookie 5.12, what would that fix be?
-
Cookie 6 doesn’t use the script anymore as it’s not necessary on Mojave+
