How could i stop an agent from root-privileged application?
if i am working in a terminal, i can type:
% launchctl stop my.agent % launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/my.agent.plist
if i type
% su
su? Really? That's so last century.
i get an error (because this "sudo launchctl" controlls "System domain" launchd instance, not a "user session"'s one)
Is there a way to explicitly specify from a Root terminal that i want to stop an agent that is loaded by launchd of the current user session?
Dude, root can do anything! Try this. % sudo -u <username|#uid> launchctl stop my.agent % sudo -u <username|#uid> launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/my.agent.plist where "<username|#uid>" is either the user account name or UID (in the form '#UID') of the user that owns the agent, as in: sudo -u '#502' launchctl stop my.agent -- James Bucanek
