How do I kill a daemon and not have it open up again if I can't find it in the LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons?

Solution 1:

The launch daemon of Avatron Airconnect is installed to /Library/LaunchDaemons. If you want to stop and remove it enter in Terminal:

  • Check if it is loaded:

    sudo launchctl list | grep avatron
    
  • Unload it:

    sudo launchctl stop /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist
    sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist
    
  • To remove it:

    sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist
    

After installing Avatron Airconnect you can uninstall the app from the Airconnect menulet! This should also remove the launch daemon.
