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
