12/11/15 20:45:21.936 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.photostream-agent) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.


error messages that occur every 10 seconds resulting in my system log filling up in as little as 15 minutes.

Apple Development tells me that these are user program messages (despite the photo stream error) and that the only way to get rid of them is to do a wipe and reinstall from scratch. With ~172 programs on my system this would take a long long time. So I'm trying to figure out which program is causing the errors.

They do not occur when I log in as a test user, but start again if I switch users to my account. So I'm trying to figure out what is different between the two user accounts when starting up. I haven't found any good articles so far about user login details, so have have just done the obvious things:

Removed all Login Items from the afflicted account. As some of these programs, such as iTunesHelper, don't exist separately in Applications I looked for a StartUpItems folder but that seems to no longer exist. So I just deleted all the items from Login Items and may have to to a reinstall to get iTunesHelper.

~/Library/LaunchAgents has been cleared.

Where else should I look to try to identify the offending program?
