Hi,

In Mac, I want to remove an application from the login items using Shell script.

I tried following code, but didn't work..

   defaults write loginwindow  AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary -array-remove path "/Applications/myApp.app"

But it is giving error "Unexpected argument -path; leaving defaults unchanged"
