You're right. I put in "clear" from off the web like I told you. It wasn't you, I now remember. I put the dd in search before I looked at the processes and nothing popped up.

I don't know why my name keeps popping up. I swear I looked and deleted what I could. I'm not going to worry about it. I like privacy as much as the next person, but, again, I'm just not worried about it.

I just now quit Terminal and relaunched. Here is what is says minus my name. smile

There's a search field in AM's top right corner. You type in "dd" and see if you get an exact hit.

I never said anything about typing "clear" anywhere; you got that from somewhere on the web, and it's a totally wrong command.

Meanwhile, it sounds like control-C terminated the process for you.

Please copy & paste what you see in Terminal if you quit and relaunch it...BEFORE you enter any commands.

More: You still haven't edited your name out of post #54306.
