How can I stop com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.folabs.proremote):

I see this constantly happening in my system.log.


com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.folabs.proremote): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.


I've checked for a plist in user/system/launch agents and don't see a proremote plist. I also have not remote access set up on this computer.


How can I track down and stop this launchd[1] service from running?

Thanks!

I think tha'll work.


Or a Terminal command like...


launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.folabs.proremote.plist


Or where ever it is. That is just for this session, you'd want to run that as a script at startup.


Or...

AhHa!

Thanks for the tip!

I found folders for ProRemote and the plist as well.

ProRemote is something that was loaded to remotely control Pro Tools. This Mac is my DAW computer and runs several DAW applications, Pro Tools being one of them.

My guess is that since this computer rarely goes on my network, ProRemote keeps trying to connect and can't, which is why the process keeps getting pushed 10 seconds.


I'm not entirely sure, but looking at the com.folabs.proremote.plist, if I change the

<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/>

to:

<key>RunAtLoad</key> <false/>


this would stop proremote from trying to run when I open Pro Tools?


I've attached a screen shot of the entire plist.

Please advise if this is the correct action, of if I need to change something else.


Thanks!

Thanks again for the response!👍🏻


I don't remember ever using ProRemote in the past. Turns out, my Son (the drummer) used ProRemote on his iPod back in the day to control ProTools from his drum set when recording.


Until I can find a way to decouple this from ProTools, I'll set up a script to stop it from loading, and filling up my logs.😁
