Hmmm. I have not tried a restart.

They are not.

Tried it anyhow. Result:
Command is not yet implemented.
After all that, I tried a restart, launchctl uncache and launchctl remove again. Result: No change.
I also counted the number of disabled services my app has using "grep -c". Result: 3060. That’s three thousand sixty. Eeek. What are these doing? How can I remove them?
