How to get rid of conveyor_service.py from OSX?

[kenorb]

Hi,
Monitoring my new processes by:

sudo /usr/bin/newproc.d

it seems that every few seconds the following command line is executed:

/Library/MakerBot/virtualenv/bin/python /Library/MakerBot/conveyor_service.py -c /Library/MakerBot/conveyor.conf --nofork

I don't use MakerBot, how I can get rid of that service/process?
Thank you.

Running;

sudo filebyproc.d

generates hundreds of records like:

 open_nocancel:entry python /Library/MakerBot/virtualenv/lib/python2.7

every few seconds.

Checking the processes, the following process is rerunning every few second:

_conveyor       7883   0.6  0.0  2424816    444   ??  Us    3:32pm   0:00.01 /Library/MakerBot/virtualenv/bin/python /Library/MakerBot/conveyor_service.py -c /Library/MakerBot/conveyor.conf --nofork

In the logs I've this:

$ grep conveyor /var/log/system.log | tail

@kenorb Thanks so much! Fixed my malformed Makerware install that I couldn't uninstall…
