When this is done the Citrix launch daemon should be in the /Library folder instead of the LaunchDaemons folder, so it should not start up at boot. To run the command to disable the plug-in:.
To undo this command and re-enable the launch daemon, repeat this command but replace "unload" with "load." You likely will not be able to use some of the Citrix services with this component disabled, but this is one way to quickly disable the problematic component and continue your work. Sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ To do this, simply launch the OS X Terminal utility and run the following command (Terminal commands are case-sensitive): This step is relatively easy, especially if you have administrative access to your system. The first is to unload the AGAdminService launch daemon, which will prevent the system from keeping the AGAdminService process running. If you are having a problem with Citrix services using up resources on your system, there are two approaches you can take. Often the Citrix Access Gateway Plug-in and support utilities are installed as a default part of a package for office or school computers, whether the organization needs them or not. If this occurs users may experience slow systems with poor battery life, and find that the Activity Monitor utility shows a service called AGAdminService taking up 100 percent of the system's CPU.Ĭitrix offers a number of virtualization and cloud-based storage options for various work environments, in which applications and services for accessing secure databases (such as for health records) run on a central server and are presented on your Mac much like a remote desktop configuration. One relatively long-standing issue that a number of Mac users have been experiencing is an apparent incompatibility with Citrix services that have been installed on their Macs by IT departments at work or school locations.
