The only things I’m aware of that run continuously and that have no UI are Racoon (IPSEC IKE) and mDNSResponder (now discoveryd, for unicast and multicast DNS). Both open listening UDP sockets. However, they should both be considered essential system services the disabling of which would be perilous and you shouldn’t attempt it.
For Spotlight, see man mdutil. It should be something like “mdutil -i on /“. Cheers, Sabahattin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
