I consistently get a red MinimWatch icon on my Mac, with the error at startup java.lang.NullPointerException. This started happening only since updating this evening to 0.8.3 update 79.

Any ideas?

From a previous report of the same problem, it seems the 2016/03/11 QNAP firmware update is causing the PATH setting to become incorrect.

As a first step, try rebooting the NAS. If this doesn't fix it, follow the instructions in this post.
