Not every 10 seconds they aren't. And anyway, just like I don't want a ftpd processes trying to spawn if someone tries to connect to port 21, nor apache trying to startup just because someone connects to port 80, likewise I don't want dovecot trying to start -EVER-. In fact, I don't want anything, ever, to launch on demand after I've told it not to launch. I do not want to remove the plist file 1) because it's in /System and I don't muck about in /System and 2) The next system update will simply put it back. I also don't necessarily want to block the ports dovecot thinks it wants to use. Maybe I want to run courier on the machine instead. Right now, but I have not rebooted, unloading the agent and then removing it (both via launchctl) has prevented it trying to spawn every 10-11 seconds, but I did this once before and it came back then. -- My biggest problem is that Steve insists on serving PURPLE Kool Aid, an I don't like PURPLE <sip sip> Kool Aid. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
