Frankcast48,
your grep command shows that the BBDaemon process is owned by the “root” user, so you might need to rerun the launchctl program like this to stop the BBDaemon process:
sudo launchctl < launchctl_input
This sudo command allows launchctl to be run as the “root” user. If your user account is an administrative account, then you can run it as shown above; if it’s a standard account, then you’ll need to log in as your administrative user to run the sudo command above. If your account is the only user account on your MacBook Pro, then it’s almost certainly an administrative account.
The sudo command will ask you for a password; give it the password of whichever user you’re logged in as. The password will not display as you enter it; this is a security measure. After this command runs, try running the grep command again to see if the BBDaemon line has disappeared.
