launchctl(1)              BSD General Commands Manual             launchctl(1)

NAME
     launchctl -- Interfaces with launchd

SYNOPSIS
     launchctl [subcommand [arguments ...]]

DESCRIPTION
     launchctl interfaces with launchd to load, unload daemons/agents and generally control launchd.
     launchctl supports taking subcommands on the command line, interactively or even redirected from stan-dard standard
     dard input.  These commands can be stored in $HOME/.launchd.conf or /etc/launchd.conf to be read at the
     time launchd starts.

SUBCOMMANDS
     load [-wF] [-S sessiontype] [-D domain] paths ...
              Load the specified configuration files or directories of configuration files.  Jobs that are
              not on-demand will be started as soon as possible.  All specified jobs will be loaded before
              any of them are allowed to start.  Note that per-user configuration files (LaunchAgents) must
              be owned by the user loading them. All system-wide daemons (LaunchDaemons) must be owned by
              root. Configuration files must not be group- or world-writable. These restrictions are in
              place for security reasons, as allowing writability to a launchd configuration file allows one
              to specify which executable will be launched.

              Note that allowing non-root write access to the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory WILL
              render your system unbootable.

              -w       Overrides the Disabled key and sets it to false. In previous versions, this option
                       would modify the configuration file. Now the state of the Disabled key is stored
                       elsewhere on-disk.

              -F       Force the loading of the plist. Ignore the Disabled key.

              -S sessiontype
                       Some jobs only make sense in certain contexts. This flag instructs launchctl to look
                       for jobs in a different location when using the -D flag, and allows launchctl to
                       restrict which jobs are loaded into which session types. Currently known session
                       types include: Aqua, LoginWindow, Background, StandardIO and System.

              -D domain
                       Look for plist(5) files ending in *.plist in the domain given. Valid domains include
                       "system," "local," "network" and "all." When providing a session type, an additional
                       domain is available for use called "user." For example, without a session type given,
                       "-D system" would load from property list files from /System/Library/LaunchDaemons.
                       With a session type passed, it would load from /System/Library/LaunchAgents.

     unload [-w] [-S sessiontype] [-D domain] paths ...
              Unload the specified configuration files or directories of configuration files.  This will
              also stop the job if it is running.

              -w       Overrides the Disabled key and sets it to true. In previous versions, this option
                       would modify the configuration file. Now the state of the Disabled key is stored
                       elsewhere on-disk.

              -S sessiontype
                       Some jobs only make sense in certain contexts. This flag instructs launchctl to look
                       for jobs in a different location when using the -D flag, and allows launchctl to
                       restrict which jobs are loaded into which session types. Currently known session
                       types include: Aqua, LoginWindow, Background, StandardIO and System.

              -D domain
                       Look for plist(5) files ending in *.plist in the domain given. Valid domains include
                       "system," "local," "network" and "all." When providing a session type, an additional
                       domain is available for use called "user." For example, without a session type given,
                       "-D system" would load from property list files from /System/Library/LaunchDaemons.
                       With a session type passed, it would load from /System/Library/LaunchAgents.

     submit -l label [-p executable] [-o path] [-e path] -- command [args]
              A simple way of submitting a program to run without a configuration file. This mechanism also
              tells launchd to keep the program alive in the event of failure.

              -l label
                       What unique label to assign this job to launchd.

              -p program
                       What program to really execute, regardless of what follows the -- in the submit sub-command. subcommand.
                       command.

              -o path  Where to send the stdout of the program.

              -e path  Where to send the stderr of the program.

     remove job_label
              Remove the job from launchd by label.

     start job_label
              Start the specified job by label. The expected use of this subcommand is for debugging and
              testing so that one can manually kick-start an on-demand server.

     stop job_label
              Stop the specified job by label. If a job is on-demand, launchd may immediately restart the
              job if launchd finds any criteria that is satisfied.  Non-demand based jobs will always be
              restarted. Use of this subcommand is discouraged.  Jobs should ideally idle timeout by them-selves. themselves.
              selves.

     list [-x] [label]
              With no arguments, list all of the jobs loaded into launchd in three columns. The first column
              displays the PID of the job if it is running.  The second column displays the last exit status
              of the job. If the number in this column is negative, it represents the negative of the signal
              which killed the job.  Thus, "-15" would indicate that the job was terminated with SIGTERM.
              The third column is the job's label.

              Note that you may see some jobs in the list whose labels are in the style "0xdeadbeef.anony-mous.program". "0xdeadbeef.anonymous.program".
              mous.program".  These are jobs which are not managed by launchd, but, at one point, made a
              request to it.  launchd claims no ownership and makes no guarantees regarding these jobs. They
              are stored purely for bookkeeping purposes.

              Similarly, you may see labels of the style "0xdeadbeef.mach_init.program". These are legacy
              jobs that run under mach_init emulation. This mechanism will be removed in future versions,
              and all remaining mach_init jobs should be converted over to launchd.

              If [label] is specified, prints information about the requested job. If [-x] is specified, the
              information for the specified job is output as an XML property list.

     setenv key value
              Set an environmental variable inside of launchd.

     unsetenv key
              Unset an environmental variable inside of launchd.

     getenv key
              Get an environmental variable inside of launchd.

     export   Export all of the environmental variables of launchd for use in a shell eval statement.

     getrusage self | children
              Get the resource utilization statistics for launchd or the children of launchd.

     log [level loglevel] [only | mask loglevels...]
              Get and set the syslog(3) log level mask. The available log levels are: debug, info, notice,
              warning, error, critical, alert and emergency.

     limit [cpu | filesize | data | stack | core | rss | memlock | maxproc | maxfiles] [both [soft | hard]]
              With no arguments, this command prints all the resource limits of launchd as found via
              getrlimit(2).  When a given resource is specified, it prints the limits for that resource.
              With a third argument, it sets both the hard and soft limits to that value.  With four argu-ments, arguments,
              ments, the third and forth argument represent the soft and hard limits respectively.  See
              setrlimit(2).

     shutdown
              Tell launchd to prepare for shutdown by removing all jobs.

     umask [newmask]
              Get or optionally set the umask(2) of launchd.

     bslist [PID | ..] [-j]
              This prints out Mach bootstrap services and their respective states. While the namespace
              appears flat, it is in fact hierarchical, thus allowing for certain services to be only avail-able available
              able to a subset of processes. The three states a service can be in are active ("A"), inactive
              ("I") and on-demand ("D").

              If [PID] is specified, print the Mach bootstrap services available to that PID. If [..] is
              specified, print the Mach bootstrap services available in the parent of the current bootstrap.
              Note that in Mac OS X v10.6, the per-user Mach bootstrap namespace is flat, so you will only
              see a different set of services in a per-user bootstrap if you are in an explicitly-created
              bootstrap subset.

              If [-j] is specified, each service name will be followed by the name of the job which regis-tered registered
              tered it.

     bsexec PID command [args]
              This executes the given command in the same Mach bootstrap namespace hierachy as the given
              PID.

     bstree [-j]
              This prints a hierarchical view of the entire Mach bootstrap tree. If [-j] is specified, each
              service name will be followed by the name of the job which registered it.  Requires root priv-ileges. privileges.
              ileges.

     managerpid
              This prints the PID of the launchd which manages the current bootstrap.

     manageruid
              This prints the UID of the launchd which manages the current bootstrap.

     managername
              This prints the name of the launchd job manager which manages the current bootstrap.  See Lim-itLoadToSessionType LimitLoadToSessionType
              itLoadToSessionType in launchd.plist(5) for more details.

     help     Print out a quick usage statement.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
     LAUNCHD_SOCKET
              This variable informs launchctl how to find the correct launchd to talk to. If it is missing,
              launchctl will use a built-in default.

FILES
     ~/Library/LaunchAgents         Per-user agents provided by the user.
     /Library/LaunchAgents          Per-user agents provided by the administrator.
     /Library/LaunchDaemons         System wide daemons provided by the administrator.
     /System/Library/LaunchAgents   Mac OS X Per-user agents.
