## Symptoms

- Various messages from CPSizeMe during a login to command line on Gaia / SecurePlatform / IPSO OS.

*Examples:*

* `Check Point Performance Sizing Utility v3.3 is running... Check: /home/admin/cpsizeme -S`
* `Check Point Performance Sizing Utility v3.3 is done!... Please run: /home/admin/cpsizeme -S`

## Cause

[Check Point Performance Sizing Utility](http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/solutions?id=sk88160) adds these messages on purpose:

1. into the */etc/motd* file; if this is not possible, then
2. into the *\~/.bashrc* file and into the *\~/.cshrc* file

## Solution

Follow these steps:

1. Connect to the command line on the involved machine.  

2. Log in to Expert mode.
3. Check if *cpsizeme* script is still running:

   *\[Expert@HostName\]# ps auxw \| grep cpsizeme*
4. If the *cpsizeme* script is *not* running anymore (the message during login should have been "`Check Point Performance Sizing Utility v<N> is done`"), then:

   * Check the */etc/motd* file:

     *\[Expert@HostName\]# cat /etc/motd*
     If this message comes from this file, then edit the file in Vi editor and remove the line with the message about *cpsizeme*
   * Check the *\~/.bashrc* file:

     *\[Expert@HostName\]# cat \~/.bashrc*
     If this message comes from this file, then edit the file in Vi editor and remove the line with the message about *cpsizeme*
   * Check the *\~/.cshrc* file:

     *\[Expert@HostName\]# cat \~/.cshrc*
     If this message comes from this file, then edit the file in Vi editor and remove the line with the message about *cpsizeme*
5. Connect to the command line on the involved machine in another shell.
