You’ll need to enable a few options for the system to function ideally. We disable the updates because we can’t have the system restarting to finish an update or resources used where they aren’t needed.

We install any available updates (without iTunes because it’s massive) as we disable automatic updates. With the advent of launchd and user launch agents, setting multiple environment variables that are available to your GUI applications is as simple as.
We set some default names for the system to ensure the system readable, identifiable, and easily accessible.To prevent applications and background processes (daemons) from running automatically using launchctl: First, find the relevant Finder folders: Open the /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders in Finder. This is creates a very simple LaunchDaemon with the RunAtLoad key set to true. Of course there are a lot of variables that go into LaunchDaemons. When creating a LaunchDaemon with an app as a target, you will be warned that a LaunchAgent might be better. If there’s one thing I hate it’s applications that secretly slip a bunch of applications or services in to your machine that launch at system startup or user login. Add or Remove Mac Startup Programs using Launchd and Launchctl. Not all applications will have this issue (non GUI apps).

We will also tell the hard drives to never sleep as that would mean the system would not be available when we would need it (for example in the early morning after not being used all night). After I log in and the GUI appears, I get a message that an Adobe application isn’t optimized for my Mac and that it needs to be updated. In computing, launchd, a unified operating system service management framework, starts, stops and manages daemons, applications, processes, and scripts in macOS.It was introduced with Mac OS X.In 2014, with OS X 10.10 and iOS 8, Apple moved code for launchd to closed source libxpc. Spotlight, screensavers, and a number of animations can slow down and cause the system to use unnecessary resources that would otherwise be used by the CI processes, so we disable these. The last Wayback Machine capture of the Mac OS Forge area for launchd was in June 2012, and the most recent open source version from Apple was 842.92.1 in code for OS X 10.9.5.As we’ll be running developer tools, we need to enable them.This script will setup the Mac system for use in a headless environment.
