Sep 5, 2016 6:38 PM in response to pcbjrby dialabrain,I thought you said you couldn't find it in your original post. Anyway, I would leave well enough alone.

Sep 5, 2016 6:45 PM in response to dialabrainby pcbjr,Yeah - I couldn't - Spotlight wasn't showing it so I did some deep searching and finally realized where it lives.
I'll leave well enough alone. But still find it interesting it is a 2015 file, which well predated El Cap.
In response to a couple earlier posts - yes - this is a new SSD installed by my local Apple certified specialist about 3 months ago, and he put the smc fan control on.

Sep 5, 2016 7:15 PM in response to pcbjrby babowa,I admit that I am not an expert on SSDs; however, since SSDs are not spinning drives, I would question the need for the SMC fan control unless your iMac is running hot - I'd check with the repair facility you used.

Sep 5, 2016 7:18 PM in response to pcbjrby Larry Kollar,Look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons to see if com.apple.logd.plist exists there (it does on my system). Maybe a recent update relocated that file, and EtreCheck is working on old assumptions.

Hello Larry,
In this case, that is certainly true. pcbjr is running an old version of EtreCheck, from sometime before April 19, 2015. My Xcode archives don't even go back that far. The current version of EtreCheck is 3.0.3.

Sep 5, 2016 8:45 PM in response to pcbjrby Drew Reece,Please read very carefully when looking for system files…
com.apple.logd.plist
Is not the same file as com.apple.logind.plist
Reboot, grab the latest Etrecheck & re-run if you want. It seems like the logdaemon (?) may be failing for some reason, sometimes they can be harmless, see what others say about it specifically.
