I am running MAMP and noticed that a number of httpd processes were running in Activity Monitor.

I had 24 separate processes running at one time. The users were daemon, root and _www. I also have zend running php, lighttpd and mysqld even though I uninstalled

Does anyone know how to stop some of these processes starting up in the first place?

I found that you can turn off or stop services from starting up every time your machine starts by looking in the following folders:

  • /Library/LaunchAgents
  • /Library/LaunchDaemons
  • /Library/StartupItems

That sorted everything out.
