Q: Need to delete something from launchctl
I used Titanium's OnyX to build my locatedb. I'd been unable to do it manually (it never finishes) and, sure enough, OnyX didn't have any better luck, so I force-quit OnyX after an hour. Problem is, it apparently "registered" locate.updatedb with launchctl, which relaunches it whenever I kill the processes that appear to be associated with 'locate'. This persists across restarts.
I used the *launchctl list* command to see if there was something obvious to try and remove, but didn't see anything. I've attached the output at the bottom of this post.
I really need to get rid of this! It's killing responsiveness, and I have to wonder if it's filling up my disk. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chap
