I'm seeing daily SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier crashes on my Mojave system. Started a couple months ago and nothing I've done has stopped it.

A couple of noobish questions:

1. Is there a reason why "sudo launchctl remove com.apple.SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier" is run twice in this script?

2. Do I need to run this script and/or commands after each restart or do they persist through restarts?

@cryo-kronos Hey! I'm really sorry, but I remember nothing about this script, it was 4 years ago, so all memories have vanished.

Typed the following message before I read your reply about having no memory of it. Disregard, I guess.

Found one you missed: studentd
Currently wasting 16.3 Mb of precious memory on my Mac.

This script is for Mojave, but does it also apply to newer OS's? Planning to finally update to Sonoma in the near future.

@GitTheHellOutaHere I haven't tried it on Sonoma.
