OSX - find out what starts a process I am trying to find out what starts the Autodesk service "AdSSO-v2", which starts together with AutoCAD on my Mac.

(I would like to deactivate it because it drains my battery with average CPU usage of 10% but it does not seem to be required to run the actual AutoCAD process)

I can find the process:

launchctl list |grep -i adsso
1102    0   com.apple.xpc.launchd.oneshot.0x1000000e.AdSSO-v2


But I can't find any Autodesk or Adsso-v2 plist anywhere in


  ~/Library/LaunchAgents 
  /Library/LaunchAgents
  /Library/LaunchDaemons
  /Library/StartupItems
  /System/Library/LaunchAgents
  /System/Library/LaunchDaemons  


What else could I do to find what launches the process?

Any hint wold be appreciated. Maybe there is a way?

Greetings, Chris
You could try Activity Monitor located in the Utilities folder.
Select View &gt; All Processes then filter on AdSSO-v2. When you found it, select it then click the Info button (or ⌘-I). In the window that pops up select the third tab. (Open files and ports). You will see a list of files and where they are located. The culprit may be in that list.  

If that doesn't work try selecting Autocad and do the same.
