Launchd trying to start a daemon that doesn't exist. How to stop it?
The file that is trying to launch is //Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/MacO S/GoogleSoftwareUpdateDaemon. However, this file does not exist. There is only one subdirectory under //Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate called /TicketStore.
If I execute 'launchctl list | grep google' I get '- 1 com.google.keystone.daemon' as a result, but if I try to remove it using 'launchctl unload com.google.keystone.daemon' I get "nothing found to unload".
I know that this daemon is because of Google software. I tried uninstalling Google Software Update using the instructions on Google's site, but the necessary program didn't exist. I tried removing Google Earth and Picasa (the only Google software I have, to my knowledge), but launchd still tries to run the daemon. I tried reinstalling Google Earth and Picasa so that I could uninstall them or kill the daemon, but even after reinstalling there is no GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle in the specified location.
I've looked in //Library/LaunchDaemons/ and /Library/LaunchAgents/ and com.google.keystone.daemon doesn't exist in either one.
What do I need to do to stop launchd from constantly trying to execute a daemon that doesn't exist?
