apple.launchd every 10 seconds?

[macker75]

Hello,

I just realized today that there are entries made in System.log (visible in Console) every 10 seconds. They are trying to run a MOTULauncher, which is probably some type of driver for a recording device I installed at one point but no longer use. Here are the entries in the log (the same repeats every 10 seconds):

4/22/09 1:14:53 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher[7164]) posix_spawnp("/System/Library/Extensions/MOTUFireWireAudio.kext/Contents/MacOS/MOTUFireWireConsoleLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/MOTUFireWireConsoleLauncher", ...): No such file or directory
4/22/09 1:14:53 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher[7164]) Exited with exit code: 1
4/22/09 1:14:53 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
4/22/09 1:15:03 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher[7165]) posix_spawnp("/System/Library/Extensions/MOTUFireWireAudio.kext/Contents/MacOS/MOTUFireWireConsoleLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/MOTUFireWireConsoleLauncher", ...): No such file or directory
4/22/09 1:15:03 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher[7165]) Exited with exit code: 1
4/22/09 1:15:03 AM com.apple.launchd[68] (com.motu.MOTULauncher) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about stopping this? I've been searching on my computer trying to find a configuration file or something, but I can't seem to find where this is being called. Any ideas? Thanks.

can you search through for any and all files relating to that device and delete them manually?

Try looking in:

/Library/LaunchAgents/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/LaunchDaemons/

for "com.motu.MOTULauncher.plist". Delete the plist file and restart and you should no longer see those log entries.

Thanks a lot! I found that file in /Library/LaunchAgents and deleted it. Solved the problem. Thanks again!
