# How to disable app launch agents, daemons and extensions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Guide
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Heads-up: following steps are used to “tame” Adobe Creative Suite, but same logic can apply to all apps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 1: disable launch agents and daemons
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Heads-up: don’t worry if you see “Could not find specified service” warnings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
launchctl unload -w {,~}/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.*.plist
|
||||||
|
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.adobe.*.plist
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 2: disable extensions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open “System Preferences”, then click “Extensions” and disable “Core Sync / Finder Extensions”.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Step 3: append kill function to `.zshrc`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Heads-up: following step assumes macOS is configured to use “Z shell” (running `echo $SHELL` should return `/bin/zsh`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cat << "EOF" >> ~/.zshrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Kill Adobe
|
||||||
|
function kill-adobe() {
|
||||||
|
pgrep -afi adobe | xargs sudo kill 2>&1
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
EOF
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
