I have an app called 'bin' It just won't go away. Every time I 'shut down' . The app 'bin' needs to be 'force quit'.

I am ready to destroy 'addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition', I have been ready for a while.

The developer's website seems to have disappeared and, unfortunately, the files it seems to have installed:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
and this directory:
/usr/share/addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition/
are protected by 'System Integrity Protection' so deleting them is a bit of a hassle. I suggest you just disable the launchdaemon by unloading it.
Make sure your backups are up to date then use Terminal.app and execute this command
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
then restart your Mac.
C.
Note that:
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
is supposed to be a single line but the forum software seems determined to wrap it..
C.
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
and i was asked for password. The password is redacted in the first image above ( using grey rectangle twice). I tried it later and the password was not asked for.
Ive rebooted and 'bin' is still open and bin open on shut down so have to force quit bin. ..
You typed return before you typed the password. Just type the password at the prompt.

Such a quick response ! thanks for hanging in!
I first type my password. (The generic one, that is mine for installing software.) and i can't see the password, i push return. I then have repeated my password. I reboot and 'bin' app is still open
You didn't need to repeat your password. (The unix convention is that successful commands are silent.)
You'll notice the first time you unloaded the daemon the command worked silently. The second time you got an error message because it was already unloaded.
I'm busy for a few hours. Next, we need to make sure the thing stays unloaded after a reboot.
C.
Right, back again...
Make sure your backup(s) are up to date before proceeding.
These commands will unload the daemon, delete the file that seems to be starting it, then list the contents of the directory that seems to contain the annoying 'bin' executable:
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons/
sudo rm com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
cd /usr/share/
ls -l
Type them carefully and then copy and paste the Terminal output here.
C.
p.s. as before the 'sudo launchctl unload ...' command is all one line.
1. Copy and paste this (it's a single line) at the Terminal prompt:
sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
then type the 'return' key and enter your password at the request.
2. Copy and paste this at the Terminal prompt:
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons/
then type the 'return' key.
3. Copy and paste this at the Terminal prompt:
sudo rm com.addressBookServer.enterprise.xml
then type the 'return' key and enter your password if it is requested, but it probably won't be.
4. Copy and paste this at the Terminal prompt:
cd /usr/share/
then type the 'return' key.
5. Copy and paste this at the Terminal prompt:
ls -l
then type the 'return' key.
6. Report back what happened.
C.
So far so good. Let's continue. Now you've go the hang of putting the commands into the terminal one line at a time, use these commands one at a time in sequence to remove addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition:
cd /usr/share/
sudo chown -R declanogallagher addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition
ls -l address*
rm -r addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition
ls -l address*
and report back.
C.
First line looks okay, but something went wrong with this one
rm -r addressBookServerEnterpriseEdition
which needs to be entered as a single line then press return. The prompt will then appear. Then type:
ls -l
followed by return.
