AGAdminService / Citrix is running 100% cpu, but I never installed it!

I ran top -o cpu and I see:


646- AGAdminServi 100.1 05:44.39 7/1 1 76 N/A N/A N/A N/A


I tracked this down to be Citrix.. but.. I umm.. don't have citrix/didn't install it


this was never a problem until I installed Lion


Anyone know how to literally just tear this out of my system(wherever it is hiding)?


I read other posts about /Library/Application Support/Citrix.. but I dont have that folder etc


I basically can't use my MBP anymore due to this

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

For some reason (I don't know why yet).. this AGAdminService "citrix agent process" is being loaded as a Admin User Installed System Daemon (I think that is right.. )


That command up above, will basically remove the file that OSX uses to "start it up, and keep it running" (launchctl is a tool for modifying these semi-invisible/system wide processes)


sudo executes the command "as the root/admin user".. so you'll be prompted to enter your password


If you do not use citrix and yet you are having this problem, it is a "very safe" thing to do.. it technially isn't even deleting stuff.. just disabling that item for starting/running

This is a good thing to know. My CPU temperature dropped almost instantly once I unloaded the process. However, I do use the Citrix Access Gateway, which is what this is for, and now I can't run it. AG provides much needed network resources access for me via the VPN.


Does anyone here know if unloading it permanently disables it or can I reload it?


I checked the MAN page for launchctl and it seems like just like the unload option, there is a load option. Even if I "reload" it, my Access Gateway won't run.


Any ideas folks?
