If you own a recent Mac computer and you realize that you can't start any GUI app from the cluster, even when you used the -X option with ssh; then you may have to enable X11 Forwarding on MacOS. The fact that OS X launched at all on March 24, 2001, was a relief and felt like an achievement if you were a long-time Mac user. Even though that very first 'Cheetah' version, 10.0, lacked. I was able to get this working using the ifconfig and pfctl commands on Mac 10.10.2. With the following approach I'm successfully mapping 127.0.0.1:3000 to mydomain.com locally on my machine. In your command line enter the following two commands to forward connections to 127.0.0.1:3000 to 10.0.0.1. Sudo ifconfig lo0 10.0.0.1 alias echo 'rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to 10.0.0.1. From a security standpoint, using the latest version of macOS—the Mac operating system—is always preferred. However, if your Mac is several years old, there’s a good chance that the current version of macOS won’t run on your Mac; Apple drops support for Mac models that it declares to be vintage or obsolete.

So your joy of running with a fresh new Mac OS has been cut short because your macbook keeps restarting after mac OS 10.15 update. For a Macbook released before 2012, you have to forget about the idea of running Catalina. For Macbooks released in 2012 and later, a few troubleshooting steps can help you fix a macbook that keeps restarting after MacOS 10.15 update, or, at worst, you may have to visit an Apple service center for help due to serious hardware or software problems.
How to Macbook Keeps Restarting after macOS 10.15 Update
For Macbooks Released Before 2012
Unfortunately, mac OS Catalina does not support Macbooks released prior to 2012. The graphic card used in these models is not compatible with the latest Mac OS.
Apple officially supports only Mac OS High Sierra on these older macbook models.
To revert back to using Mac OS High Sierra on a 2011 and older macbook,
1. Simply reinstall the supported OS by booting your macbook into recovery volume. To do this, press down the “Command + R” keys when booting.
2. If that doesn’t work, then activate Internet Recovery Mode by pressing “Command + Option + R”. This initiates the installation of the supported OS.
For Macbooks Released in 2012 and Later
Solution #1: Reinstall your Macbook in Safe Mode
The problem can go away with a simple reinstallation of Mac OS Catalina. To do this,
1. Start the mac in safe mode by pressing down the “Shift” key while restarting the mac.

2. Next, go to the App Store and install mac OS 10.15.
3. Once the installation is complete, reboot your Mac.
Solution #2: Remove Incompatible App
Some third-party apps running on your MacBook may be incompatible with mac OS Catalina. You can trace out these incompatible apps during startup. To do this,
1. Boot your Mac in Safe Mode by pressing down the “Shift” key when restarting the mac and then releasing the key when the Apple logo appears.
2. Next, open your Apple Menu and select “System Preferences > Users & Groups”.
3. Now, click on ‘Login Items” and uncheck boxes belonging to as many items as possible to prevent them from interfering with your Mac’s booting process.
Solution #3: Fix MacOS 10.15 Startup Drive through Recovery Mode
Disk Utility is a handy native tool for troubleshooting mac issues, including those affecting your mac OS Catalina disk. If your MacBook pro keeps rebooting after macOS 10.15 update, you can use disk utility to iron out the issue. To do this,
1. Press down “Command + R” while restarting your mac until the Utility menu pops up.
2. Next, navigate to mac OS utilities and choose “Disk Utility”.
This brings up issues affecting your system, along with instructions on how to troubleshoot them.

This tutorial shows how to configure Mac OS X to forward syslog events to a remote server.
The following configuration steps were tested and validated on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard).
The following configuration steps were tested and validated on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard).
Background
Constantly Forward Mac Os 11
Mac OS X Console.app (Applications - Utilities - Console.app) is the standard interface to visualize all events registered by the operating system. It is simple yet functional, but not very friendly on displaying the entries and actually finding some useful information.
Splunk has a Mac OS X version that allows for a better and more complete monitoring of the system and syslog events, it can also be installed and configured as a forwarder to your central monitoring server. But it doesn’t need to be installed for just monitoring syslog generated events.
It is worth mentioning that in order to capture events forwarded by Mac OS X (or any other syslog forwarder, actually) you have to configure the Splunk server to:
(a.) receive data inputs on UDP port 514, and
(b.) allow incoming traffic through this port on all firewalls in place between the Mac OS X and the Splunk server - including the Windows Firewall, if that’s the case.
(a.) receive data inputs on UDP port 514, and
(b.) allow incoming traffic through this port on all firewalls in place between the Mac OS X and the Splunk server - including the Windows Firewall, if that’s the case.
Its also worth noting that Mac OS X will simple forward all syslog data as a single source, not separating data by log file like the Universal Forwarder does.
Configuring the Mac OS X Syslogd
The next steps are to be executed in a Terminal window, the Mac OS X command line interface. The steps to configure the syslog forwarding are:
1. Open a Terminal window:Applications - Utilities - Terminal, or by using the Spotlight (shortcut: command+space > Terminal)
2. Before touching anything, make a backup copy of the syslog configuration file (syslogd.conf) into the /tmp folder:
3. Open the configuration file on your favorite editor (in this case, we’re using vi):
Use the ’sudo’ command to execute vi with ‘root’ privileges, otherwise you won’t be able to edit the file. Enter the password for the administrator account you are currently logged in as to continue.
4. Insert the following line anywhere in your syslogd.conf file, replacing the IP address 192.168.1.12 with the IP address of your Splunk server’s network interface.
Type ‘i’ in vi to enter the insert mode (text entry), then add the line above anywhere in the file.
‘’’IMPORTANT:’’’ The selector and action fields (see below) are separated by TABs. Do not use spaces.
‘’’IMPORTANT:’’’ The selector and action fields (see below) are separated by TABs. Do not use spaces.
The syslogd.conf file consists of lines with two fields: the selector field which specifies the types of messages and priorities to which the line applies, and an action field which specifies the action to be taken if a message syslogd receives matches the selection criteria.
If you would like to forward your syslog output on a different port to the standard 514, you can do this by specifying a specific port for your destination; e.g.
results in your syslog data being forwarded to port 5140 instead of the usual port 514.
The Selectors function are encoded as a Facility.Level. The line above is basically telling the Mac OS X syslog daemon to forward a copy of all (*.*) events to the syslog server listening on the IP address 192.168.1.12. If you don’t want to send all events, you can filter them out by setting a different level - for instance, you can replace the ‘*.*’ with ‘*.notice’. Check out the syslogd.conf and the syslog manual pages for all the options.
5. Save and Exit:Press ‘ESC’ to exit insert mode, and save the file by typing ’:wq <enter>’.If you don’t want to save it now, type ’:q!‘ to exit vi without saving and start over.
6. Restart the ‘syslogd’ service:But before doing so, check if it’s running by typing:
The following commands restart the service. Enter your password one more time if necessary.
Check if the service was really shut down and restarted by typing the same command again. The counter should have been reset and the PID (5070 in the example above) should be a different one.
Constantly Forward Mac Os X
Done.
You can use ’tcpdump’ to verify that the events are being forwarded to the remote server. Use the command ’ifconfig’ to get the name of the Mac OS X network interface connected to the same IP network segment of the Splunk server and use it as a filter for ’tcpdump’. In this case, the interface name is ‘en1’:
To log an event - open a new Terminal window on Mac OS X and use the ’logger’ command.

If tcpdump doesn't report the Testing message, first double check the tcpdump arguments then review the configuration and check if there is connectivity between the Mac OS X station and the Splunk server.
Lastly, check that UDP/514 traffic is allowed through any firewalls.
Worst case, restore your backup copy from the /tmp folder and repeat the process.
