Scary message

I hope I have posted this in the right place.:confused:

I downloaded Fire a couple of days ago and have been having lots of problems trying to get it work.

I tracked down a piece of software by IOXperts which the console was telling me was giving me problems on start up. It got deleted.

After a reboot (ever optimistic I will get Fire working on my computer) i checked in again on the console. Whilst it was not grumbling as much, it has displayed what in my books is a worrying message, but i am unable to decipher so dont know exactly what kind of doom it is predicting:

Mac OS X Version 10.4.6 (Build 8I127)
2006-04-07 16:50:47 +0100

Apr 7 16:51:00 mac-mini diskarbitrationd[43]: SystemUIServer [173]:17923 not responding.

2006-04-07 16:51:09.216 SystemUIServer[173] lang is:en
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -psn_0_1179649
:eek:
So..
1. what is this command line?
2.How could it be unrecognized?
3.What does this command line do?
4.Could it be some kind of malware giving these commands?
5.How do I get rid of said command?

If you need them i can find other reams of data, just tell me where to look!:)

Any help appreciated:D

It isn't clear if the message about the "unrecognized command line flag" is from SystemUIServer or not. Is it on a separate line?
If so, it is likely coming from some other (unnamed in the log) program.
It is merely saying that that program (whichever one is complaining) doesn't recognize that part of the command-line with which it was invoked.
Nothing to worry about.
