Stop Pulse Secure from opening at startup
https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Secure_Article/KB26679
Using Automater, create an app to run the following script during boot:
launchctl unload –w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.pulsesecure.pulsetray.plist
This prevents Pulse from launching at boot.
Save this .app file, and add it to your Login Items
I copied PulseTray.app
into Applications so I could run it from Spotlight:
sudo cp -r /Applications/Pulse\ Secure.app/Contents/Plugins/JamUI/PulseTray.app/ /Applications/
It appears with a terminal showing output, but I just hide this in the dock and forget about it.
Change the bold <false/>
to <true/>
. I tested it just now on my MacBook macOS Sierra and it stopped the auto launch at bootup.
