launchctl load --help Usage: launchctl load <service-path, service-path2, ...> -w If the service is disabled, it will be enabled. In previous versions of launchd, being disabled meant that a service was not loaded. Now, services are always loaded. If a service is disabled, launchd does not advertise its service endpoints (sockets, Mach ports, etc.). -F Forcibly load the service. This flag will ignore the service's disabled state. In previous versions of launchd, this flag would also ignore the ownership and permissions of the specified launchd.plist. This is no longer the case. Note that, unlike the -w flag, this flag will not modify the service's disabled state; it will instead only ignore it for the load operation. -S <session> This flag takes a single argument which is the name of a session and may only be used when loading agents. All daemons exist within the same session, which is the system session. Agents may designate which sessions they can be loaded in with the LimitLoadToSessionType key. -D <domain> Loads launchd.plist(5) files from the specified domain. Depending on the current execution context, launchctl will look in a LaunchDaemons or LaunchAgents directory for launchd.plists. When running in the system's execution context (i.e. when run as root via a root shell or with sudo), the LaunchDaemons directory is searched. When running in a user's context (i.e. run normally from a shell), the LaunchAgents directory is searched. Valid domains are: system Searches /System/Library for either daemons or agents. local Searches /Library for either daemons or agents. network Searches /Network. This session type is no longer valid. user Searches the home directory of the calling user for agents only. Daemons may not be loaded from this domain.
