= Avid: disable startup items

Show Avid LaunchAgents:

<code bash>
ls -1 /Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid*
</code>
<code>
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.ApplicationManager.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.backgroundservicesmanager.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.dmfsupportsvc.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.interplay.dmfservice.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.interplay.editortranscode.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.transcodeserviceworker.plist
</code>

Show if they are configured for autostart:
(Below, it shows that they have all been disabled already)

<code bash>
sudo echo; for agent in /Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid*; do printf "%-45s : " $(basename $agent); sudo defaults read $agent RunAtLoad; done
</code>
<code>
com.avid.ApplicationManager.plist             : 0
com.avid.backgroundservicesmanager.plist      : 0
com.avid.dmfsupportsvc.plist                  : 0
com.avid.interplay.dmfservice.plist           : 0
com.avid.interplay.editortranscode.plist      : 0
com.avid.transcodeserviceworker.plist         : 0
</code>

Disable one of them:

<code bash>sudo defaults write /Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.ApplicationManager.plist RunAtLoad -boolean false
</code>

Disable them all: 

<code bash>
sudo echo; for agent in /Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid*; do sudo defaults write $agent RunAtLoad -boolean false; done
</code>

Next time, check if this would also work 

<code bash>
cd /Library/LaunchAgents/
sudo launchctl unload -w com.avid.ApplicationManager.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w com.avid.ApplicationManagerHelper.plist
</code>
