So, I've tweaked what I believe is a better catch-all GREP for many Creative Cloud apps, based on standard adobe installations and naming conventions.
ps -p "$i" -o command | awk 'NR==2' | grep -E '^\/Applications\/(Adobe( (\w)+)+)( [0-9]{4})?\/Adobe( (\w)+)+( [0-9]{4})?\.app\/Contents\/MacOS\/(\1|AdobeAcrobat|After Effects)$'

This seems to work really well. The only thing I noticed is that it didn't catch CCLibrary.app.
How can I undo the script?
I did simply rename "CCXProcess.app" to "CCXProcess-.app", and it works.
No adobecrdaemon is keeping running now.
I am using iMac.
@HarithSami The script just kills currently running processes, it doesn't make any permanent changes to the system configuration, so there is nothing to undo. If you restart Creative Cloud or just open one of the Creative Cloud apps, the daemons should be started again.
Here's a really great kill-apps helper from sunknudsen/privacy-guides that can be added to .zshrc:
# Kill apps that match string
function kill-apps() {
IFS=$'\n'
red=$(tput setaf 1)
normal=$(tput sgr0)
if [ -z "$1" ] || [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then
printf "%s\n" "Usage: kill-apps string"
return 0
fi
printf "%s\n" "Finding apps that match “$1”…"
sleep 1
processes=($(pgrep -afil "$1"))
if [ ${#processes[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
printf "%s\n" "No apps found"
return 0
else
printf "%s\n" "${processes[@]}"
printf "$red%s$normal" "Kill found apps (y or n)? "
read -r answer
if [ "$answer" = "y" ]; then
printf "%s\n" "Killing found apps…"
sleep 1
for process in "${processes[@]}"; do
echo $process | awk '{print $1}' | xargs sudo kill 2>&1 | grep -v "No such process"
done
printf "%s\n" "Done"
return 0
fi
fi
}paste above script into ~/.zshrc and then run source ~/.zshrc. Then you can just use commands like kill-apps adobe to kill all adobe related stuff.
Hi @jivanpal here my contribute with some real path. See if you need more
Adobe Applications path
Acrobat DC
realpath
~/Applications/Adobe Acrobat DC/Adobe Acrobat.appCreative Cloud (note is a redirect into a more complex structure)
realpath
~/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/ACC/Creative Cloud.appPhotoshop 2021
realpath
~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2021/Adobe Photoshop 2021.appUtilities folder structure
Because
Creative Cloudhas redirect, tell us if you need any other real path
