Thread: Disable autostart on Mac?
On 9.0 beta 2, I have tried to prevent autostart of the database engine via the by the process shown in http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/2240.page
Leaving the file in place and setting the <key>RunAtLoad</key> to <false/> does not seem to have any effect.
The only method that I have found to work is to remove the com.edb.launchd.postgresql-x.x.plist file from the LaunchDaemons directory. But I would prefer to leave it in place, and change as needed.
Thoughts?

Try: $ sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-x.x.plist Then to re-enable: $ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-x.x.plist The "unload -w" should add a <Disabled><true/> key to the plist file. If for some reason that doesn't work, manually add the Disabled key. -- Michael Wood <esiotrot@gmail.com>
