I want to get rid of some system services completely.
I turned off sip with
csrutil disable
.
Then following command
sudo launchctl disable com.apple.cloudphotod
Gave me an unexpected answer:
Unrecognized target specifier, did you mean
gui/501/com.apple.cloudphotod
I've read man, searched forums and so on. But I can't get why do I need specify the context agent is running in, how do I know that from launchctl list
and is the a way to avoid the need to specify it?
There are many services and I'm completely uncertain which one is in which context.
Side question:
I also was looking for a gui tool such as Windows Services.msc, found Soma-zone's LaunchControl. Downloaded tar.gz archive, unarchived, started the app, and... it says "can't open the app".
Did I miss something and tar.gz needs some special handling? Never dealt with that.
