== macOS Spotlight ==

* [緣起] 想要釋放出一些記憶體，其次因為預計產生大量資料，想避免 Spotlight 對大量檔案做索引 Indexing
* https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/388882/how-to-disable-spotlight-and-mds-stores-on-mac-os-catalina
{{{
sudo mdutil -a -i off
}}}
* https://www.technipages.com/macos-sierra-enable-disable-spotlight
{{{
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
}}}

* 副作用：後來發現影響是 Finder 沒辦法正常找到檔案，Spotlight 快速鍵也找不到 Application 了
  * 試了幾種方法都不管用

== macOS launchctl ==

* [緣起] 如何從 `launchctl list` 結果反查 plist 位置？
{{{
jazzwang:~$ launchctl list | grep -i spot
-	0	com.apple.corespotlightservice
477	0	com.apple.corespotlightd
396	0	com.apple.Spotlight
~$ sudo launchctl procinfo 396 | grep plist
	path = /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
