Depends -- if LogiMgrDaemon
has registered itself in launchd
as something "to be relaunched if ever quit" then yes. If you can find the plist
, see if there's a KeepAlive
key.
Or just kill it and see what happens (go on, you know you want to...).
It should kill any process that matches. But check in Activity Monitor as to who owns the process (I wonder -- maybe you are getting two instances because one is yours and the other root's?) as you may have to sudo
(along with all the sudoers
setup you know so well).
You can test-flight killall
with the -d
switch. I've got two systemstats
process running at the moment, both owned by root so I have to sudo
, and get:
% sudo killall -d "systemstats"

OK -- weirdly, I've got a whole bunch of tail
s running. Let's find out...
