I recently upgraded to Mojave. So far I haven't had any problems with it. However, when I restart the Mac, I get a pop-up saying '“rdmgrab” is not optimised for your Mac and needs to be updated.'

There is a process called rdmgrab that runs in the background. (There's another called rdmd, but I don't know if it's related.)

There is a file called rdmgrab in /opt/local/bin, a rdmgrab.plist and a few rdmgrab_[1811xx].log files.

I have no idea where this file came from. Does anyone have an idea what it might be, and whether it's safe to dump it?

    You can try renaming it before deleting it. Anything in /opt directory is add-on software.

I did a bit of searching on this. I don't suppose you have TeamViewer, LogMeIn, VNC or another remote viewer installed? Chrome desktop anywhere?

This could be related to that?

  • Thanks. I do use VNC, but not the others. But I renamed both rdmgrab and rdmd, and VNC seems to be working.
