Even after you uninstall it, some Mac OS X software just won’t quit nagging you or notifying you of updates or at the very least polluting the Console Messages like this:
Code

Well here’s how you kill those constantly launching things!
Open a Terminal window and enter launchctl list to see a list of all launching services. Once you know what you want to kill, uselaunchctl remove.
Here is an example on that pesky Carbonite:
Code
macpro$ launchctl list | grep carbonite |
|
- 1 com.carbonite.carbonitestatus |
|
- 0 com.carbonite.carbonitealerts |
|
macpro$ launchctl remove com.carbonite.carbonitestatus |
|
macpro$ launchctl remove com.carbonite.carbonitealerts |
Here is another on Intego backup:
Code
macpro$ launchctl list | grep intego |
|
- 0 com.intego.backupmanagerpro.agent |
|
macpro$ launchctl remove com.intego.backupmanagerpro.agent |
