CouchDB trying to start after uninstalling

Hi dear CouchDB user mailinglist

I used couchDB a lot about a year ago, but have since uninstalled it  
to wait a bit before using it in production apps.

I have noticed though that launchctl (MacOSX) tries to interact with  
it non stop although it has been uninstalled.
My console log looks like this:

07.02.09 08.13.53 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54665])  
getpwnam("couchdb") failed
07.02.09 08.13.53 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54665])  
Exited with exit code: 1
07.02.09 08.13.53 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb)  
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
07.02.09 08.14.03 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54668])  
getpwnam("couchdb") failed
07.02.09 08.14.03 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54668])  
Exited with exit code: 1
07.02.09 08.14.03 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb)  
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
07.02.09 08.14.03 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb)  
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
07.02.09 08.14.13 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54669])  
getpwnam("couchdb") failed
07.02.09 08.14.13 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb[54669])  
Exited with exit code: 1
07.02.09 08.14.13 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.couchdb.couchdb)  
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

What is this? Does anybody know how to remove it and how it came to be  
there in the first place?
If this isn't related to CouchDB after all and has to do with  
misconfiguration on my part of apologize.

Thanks for your time!

Best regards
Sebastian

It might start doing that thing again, when you reboot. If that's the
case, deleting the .plist file (after unloading it) should keep it
from getting picked up on boot.

Hi,
You likely did something like this:
http://jaiku.com/channel/ajatus/presence/32917624

Something like the following will likely fix you up.

# your file location may be different
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.couchdb.couchdb.plist

Check the man page for launchctl here:
