Uninterrupted launchd errors in Console

Bonjour,

I have recently removed a cisco vpn client but I keep getting (1 every 10 seconds forever) the following errors in Console :

03/10/11 12:51:25 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.cisco.anyconnect.vpnagentd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

03/10/11 12:51:35 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.cisco.anyconnect.vpnagentd[4547]) posix_spawn("/opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnagentd", ...): No such file or directory

03/10/11 12:51:35 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.cisco.anyconnect.vpnagentd[4547]) Exited with exit code: 1

I've been looking into LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons in the various Library/ but I did not find anything related to "cisco" or "anyconnect".

How can I remove this launchd error/problem ???

Merci !

Hello:

It would appear (from your post) that you did not get all of the Cisco VPN "stuff." I would contact Cisco to see if they have an uninstaller.

The procedure for manually uninstalling the AnyConnect client from a Linux or Mac OS X system is the same for both systems. As root, run the following shell script:

/opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh

Merci ... for your fast answers ...

Now :

- Linc : I had done it already. I re-did it, then rebooted the Mac. No change :-(

- Barry : Yes ! That's definitively what I'll do if I cannot get help from the "Apple side"

Bonne journée,

Bonjour (on se connait ?),

In fact, the solution given in your link is equivalent to run the vpn_uninstall mentionned by "Linc" ... Too bad

Merci quand même !

Je ne crois pas ! :-)

Anyways, have you tried to do all this in Single-User mode, then reboot in verbose and see if your old VPN friend still appears on startup? I had the same problem with VirtualBox at one time, and though I'd completely uninstalled it, some kexts would still launch on startup, and take their own sweet time doing so... I had to hunt all the bits and pieces VB had left on my hard drive before I was finally rid of it.
