Junos Pulse Automatically Opens at Startup.

...How can I disable the auto-open and use it as needed from the Dock?
Early 2009 iMac, Build 13C64, Mavericks 10.9.2

So far, I've found a way to stop it from auto-launching, but it also defeats any pre-existing network specifications. Also, it seems to prevent re-entering the server/authentication for such. If you have the patience, you may want to try playing with the modifiers in the 'launchctl' command. What shuts it off is, in a Terminal shell:
  launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.juniper.pulsetray.plist
You'll also want to be able to reverse that with:
  launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/net.juniper.pulsetray.plist
So it seems that the same file, that 'net.juniper.pulsetray.plist', controls what you want to do, stop auto-launch, but also controls what you need, the path to the VPN server. In the GUI, you can find it in:
  Go>Computer>Library/LaunchAgents/
But be careful. When I played with it at the GUI, I cost myself an hour rebuilding Pulse & Java.
I have a feeling that Junos will have to decide to separate Pulse's control over these functions into 2 separate files. But, if anyone succeeds, I'd very much like to hear about it!

  • Programs that automatically open on startup

    Can anyone tell me how to STOP Skype from automatically opening on Start up of my MBPro ? It never did this and I haven't updated OSX lately, nor can I with 10.4.11. Skype now opens when I power on my mac, then hangs - always, and I have to force quit it. There is NO option in Skype's own menu list to stop it from auto opening on start up. Grrrr
    Thanks to you if you can help.

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check the list of login items for your user account.

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening on startup since last update on Macintosh running Tiger?

    Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • Utilities folder automatically opens during startup

    I'm pretty bitter towards Macintosh ever since I took my laptop to the " 'Genius' Bar " and they accidentally erased all of the data on my computer, so I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me with this.
    I downloaded Microsoft Office 2008 today. Of course, I had the infamous keygen problem with Safari. I found the solution to that in another post: I went to Macintosh HD>my home directory>Library>Preferences, where I deleted the file "com.apple.keychainaccess.plist" and restarted my computer.
    The Safari keygen problem is fixed, but now whenever I turn on my computer, the Utilities folder opens up automatically. How do I fix that so it doesn't keep popping up whenever I turn on my computer?
    Thank you!

  • Is there a way to have the boot selector automatically load on startup?

    The previous version of OS I owned I could set the bootselector to automatically open on startup (without presing the alt key).
    I have searched several times for a solution, but have been unable to find one.  Pressing a key to load the menu is FRUSTRATING as this can lead to up to 5 resets as the system keeps loading the wrong OS.
    Just one of those things I can't believe people put up with...
    Thanks

    Just hold down the 'option' key when you restart. The system won't load any system disk until you choose one.
    Otherwise use rEFIt as Daniel says. Works fine on Lion.

  • How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

    We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

    downloaded mt lion on my iMac, now when i start the computer my outlook email automatically opens.  When I right click on the mail icon it isn't checked to open on startup.  How do i correct this

    This is probabaly caused by the resume feature. When you log out, uncheck the box that appears.

    when I log in both word and excel automatically open. Is there a way to stop them from opening on startup?

    I believe on new mac this is how it works by default.  There is a preference to turn this 'feature' off.
    You should look in you login items under accounts under system preferences.
    Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
    Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
    click on this icon
    Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
    Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
    What version & Processor do you have?

  • How do I stop my Mac from automatically opening multiple programs, ie: iMessage and Mail at startup?

    I have tried unchecking the option "Open at startup" found when you higlight the program while it is in the dock.  I have also gone into Preferences/Users and Groups and none of the programs that I do not want to open at startup are in the list.
    While I am familiar with other Apple products this is my first Mac, and this is just one of the many things that is taking time to figure out.

    Click Restart, and uncheck  "Reopen windows when logging back in".
    You can also try quitting those apps before you restart. Make sure you quit them completely (cmd-Q) and not just closing the window.

  • Acrobat Standard 9.0 automatically opens multiple files on startup

    This problem was originally posted as "Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update problem?"
    In Vista Ultimate, I installed the Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update, and afterward, my terminal began automatically opening multiple PDF files whenever Acrobat was started.  At one point, I let it run for several minutes, and got up to 33 opened files before I forced the program to shut down.
    Although this problem was resolved by a program removal and reinstallation (restore previous version didn't work), it came back again, after I had worked on several PDF files since the reinstall.  Apparently, Acrobat feels compelled to open all of the PDF files I have worked on since the reinstallation, whenever it starts up.  In addition, it opens copies of all of these files when I open a Website PDF file. So I have two copies of the same filename open at the same time (usually impossible in Windows).  Since I removed v9.1.2 and reinstalled v9.0, the problem might not be connected to the 9.1.2 update I installed before it began; however, the 9.1.2 update might have made changes to the registry that the uninstall didn't correct.
    HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED AUTOMATIC MULTIPLE FILE OPENINGS IN ACROBAT STANDARD 9.0 OR 9.1.2, AND IF SO, WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?  I'm desperate enough to seek technical advice from a random group of strangers.

    I was having this problem on a Vista Ultimate machine after upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9.2, and solved it in the following way.
    1.  Exit Acrobat, open the task manager and be sure the acrobat.exe task is no longer running.
    2.  Open the directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0
    3.  Locate the file named Organizer90 and drag it to the desktop
    4.  Open Acrobat from the Start menu
    Problem should be solved!  If not, exit Acrobat and drag the original Organizer90 file back to the original directory (replacing the newly created file).  I have no idea what the Organizer90 file does, so I don't know if you may be losing anything important using this method, but it did work for me in solving the "opening multiple files" problem.

  • At startup, Firefox automatically opens between 9 and 20 individual browswers.

    Every time I start up my laptop (Dell Inspiron), Firefox automatically opens at least 9 (often more, the number varies) individual browsers. Each browser has just one tab -- the Firefox Start page with Google search (http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official).
    I've clicked through all the options in Firefox, but I have no idea how to fix this. I also Googled for similar problems, and was unable to find anything.
    I set the "This happened" field below to "Every time Firefox opened," but really it should be "Every time I turned my laptop on."

    Did you create a new profile for the 4.0 beta version?
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
