ControlPanel: serverstats macro error

[Tammy Walters]

I have and not sure how to fix it....

[Macro error: Can't coerce the string "" into a floating point number
because it isn't in the form "1.234".]

and yes, it actually did just appear.  I thought it was because I tried
to download and install some plugins unsuccessfully...
Please let me know a 'fix' for this if you find one.

Thanks Tammy

The ControlPanel page on my site has started to display an error just
below
the controlPanelHeader image:

[Macro error: Can't coerce the string "" into a floating point number
because it isn't in the form "1.234".]

I am running on MacOSX

There seems to be a problem in the
mainresponder.controlPanel.#tools.serverstats macro which is obtaining
an
empty string with the statement:

psout = sys.unixShellCommand ("ps -auxww | grep \"" + file.fileFromPath
(frontier.getProgramPath ()) + "\"")

omm the relevant line in ps -auxww is:

cb     312   0.5 16.8   114860  43992  ??  S    5340:43.03
/Applications/Frontier/UserLand FrontierM-b?M-"
/Applications/Frontier/UserLand FrontierM-b?M-" -psn_0_917505

(sorry if this wraps!)

I can't get at the server right now to checkout what file.fileFromPath
(frontier.getProgramPath ()) returns in my environment but I suspect the
filepath may contain a funny character (such as ) which Unix is uneasy
with.

Funny it has only recently shown up (?after upgrade to 10.1.2): has
anyone
else seen this?
