# 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
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
