#23677: Uninstall of a port should automatically unload daemons

Component: base | Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: startupitem launchctl | Port:

Comment(by rmstonecipher@…):
On the other end of things, ports with startupitems usually work best when
their startupitems are loaded.[[br]]
If the port with a startupitem is several steps ahead of the user's
requested port install, the "load the startupitem" note may be
missed.[[br]]
Could the user be cut out of this equation by auto-loading startupitems
during the activate phase?[[br]]
This would work for ports with startupitems which work as-is, but others
may experience one or more of the following problems:
* some ports use both user- and system-level startupitems (e.g. dbus)
* some ports have configuration files that must be edited before running
the daemon/startupitem[[br]]
What other issues could auto-loading startupitems cause?[[br]][[br]]
