The isn’t any single technique of discovering what all of the objects in System Settings/Normal/"Open in Background" dialog relate to, not to mention discovering the binary or plist which launches them.
There are a selection of the way figuring out the product:
- The title or icon of the “software”.
- Utilizing
launchctl checklistandsudo launchctl checklist.
The output might assist establish the product. For instance, the primary non-obvious software in my checklist is labelled “Andreas Hegenberg”. I used sudo launchctl checklist| grep hagen and launchctl checklist| grep hagen. This was fortunate, the output included software.com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool. Now I do know the product – BetterTouchTool.
For the second software labelled “Bryan Christanson”, I attempted trying to find each Bryan and Christiansen within the launchctl output. However nothing.
- Essentially the most dependable manner is an internet search.
I used DuckDuckGo trying to find “bryan christianson macOS”. The outcomes made it very doubtless what what I used to be searching for is “WhatRoute” app which I’ve on my Mac.
Together with your “Galvanix”, I looked for “galvanix macos” Three of the primary six outcomes referred to Emacs.
So, even when the launchctl technique doesn’t offer you any hints for “Galvanix”, the online search would get you there.
Having recognized the product, now to search out the binary which launches them. This binary shall be specified someplace in a plist in your system.
You’ll be able to search use an app like Discover Any File for a plist with a reputation that pertains to your product or developer. In your case a reputation with both “emacs” or “galvanix”. The plist will embody the command to run the binary or no matter it does.
For my examples, this recognized the plist and the binary. For one in all them the plist was in /Library/LaunchDaemons (one of many apparent locations to look), however the different was within the software binary. However in each circumstances I may get to the related binary.
A lot of the looking is simplified utilizing an app like Lingon X, which lets you skip the launchctl instructions and makes trying to find the plist simpler and shows its content material. However does not assist when it is advisable to use an internet search to establish the applying!
