I am constantly getting the following messages in system log:
com.apple.launchd.peruser.0 (homebrew.mxcl.memcached[PID]) Exited with code : 64 com.apple.launchd.peruser.0 (homebrew.mxcl.memcached) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds.
Apparently I have previously loaded the homebrew.mxcl.memcached.plist into launchd to have it run memcached at startup.
After searching online I learned that it is caused by the process failing to start. And a solution is to unload the plist from launchd with launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.memcached.plist, and launchctl remove homebrew.mxcl.memcached, which I have done.
Note that the peruser.0 in the messages indicates that it is running 'peruser' for the user root. And I am logged in as root user to unload the homebrew.mxcl.memcached entries and remove the labels in launchd.
This worked on another machine to stop the messages(for none root user), but I am still getting the constant respawn messages on this server.
I have confirmed with launchctl list that memcached is no longer there and I am getting the intended error messages as well when try to unload/remove memcached in launchctl too. I also get the following when I do launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.memcached
launchctl stop error: No such process
It looks like the memcached plist was successfully deleted from launchctl.
I am confused on why I am still getting respawn error messages every 10 sec even though the plist is no longer loaded in launchd. I have searched for existing posts in regards to this issue but have found none.
Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
UPDATE
I have logged out of the root user and logged in as a normal user to check the log, and the message stops. It looks like the process is still loaded for the root user to run at log in somehow..
