nomachine server uninstall or disable – OS X – Mavericks

To uninstall or disable nomachine server on OS X:

All this, below, is wrong :)

I have figured out that this is not correct way to disable NX server. It uninstall client software as well.

sudo /Applications/NoMachine.app/ \
Contents/Frameworks/ \
bin/nxserver --uninstall
sudo /Applications/NoMachine.app/ \
Contents/Frameworks/ \
bin/nxserver --shutdown

And the procedure below, is OK :)

So, don’t disable nxserver as described above. Instead, do following:

sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nomachine.server.plist

and change

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>

to

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>

Update:

There is one more place you have to take care about

sudo vi /Library/LaunchAgents/com.nomachine.localnxserver.plist

and change

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>

to

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>
