launchctl unload say: Could not find specified service
8,259
Try removing the sudo
and just run:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist
When attempting to unload some LaunchDaemons, it will return "Could not find specified service"
if using sudo
.

I'm trying to make a plist file in order to start nginx on boot. When starting nginx with
launchctl
it starts the service. But it cannot unload it, and print "Could not find specified service".$ ps aux | grep nginx me (...) grep nginx $ sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist (no output) $ ps aux | grep nginx me (...) grep nginx nobody (...) nginx: worker process root (...) nginx: master process /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx $ sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist: Could not find specified service
This is the content of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist
$ cat /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nginx.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key><string>nginx</string> <key>Program</key><string>/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx</string> <key>KeepAlive</key><true/> <key>NetworkState</key><true/> <key>StandardErrorPath</key><string>/opt/nginx/logs/system.log</string> <key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key><true/> </dict> </plist>
Any help appreciated. Cheers
