macOS background activity
In macOS I have known how to remove Background Activity Apps by deleting their .plist files from the following directories in the System Library folder and hidden User Library folder:
- /Library/LaunchAgents
- /Library/LaunchDaemons
- ~/Library/LaunchAgents
What I did not know, is that you can run a simple command that will reset all background items. And as a side effect it will also reset all login items.
sfltool resetbtm
With sfl standing for SharedFileList.
As always ss64.com is an excellent reference for Command Line references.
