Hi All,
Cool looking apps David. I’ll check them out.
I would like to learn how OSX controls programs. Good tip about launchd.
Here’s what I’ve found.
$ sudo launchctl list | grep postgresql
52 0 com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.4
And I found this here:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.4.plist
*Attempt #1*
In the xml I see:
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
I changed true to false and restarted but for some reason the app still started.
Fail.
*Attempt #2*
I then tried this command:
sudo launchctl unload com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.4.plist
I noticed in the xml file that it added a <disabled> key. Strangley PosgreSQL
still starts on boot.
Fail.
*Attempt #3*
$ sudo mv /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.4.plist
/Users/eric/
This works. PostgreSQL doesn’t start. But when I want to start PostgreSQL with
sudo launchctl start <point to new location of plist>
it gives no error but doesn’t actually start anything.
Fail.
I have plenty of linux boxen to play with and don’t need to do this on a mac.
I’m just curious about how this new toy works. I’ll probably remove the
Enterprise DB app unless I’ve missed something.
Thanks,
Eric
