It looks like if you delete Blue Jeans.app and then restart (or log out), the webserver won't relaunch. It will attempt to run on load, but the actual script to start it invokes the app binary with a special argument, so deleting the app is sufficient.
The "log out" part is because the webserver will presumably continue running in memory after deleting the app until you force it to quit. It's possible that it watches for the app to be thrown away, but I don't have any way of testing that right now.
- LeoNatan25 7y agoYes, I’m the case of BlueJeans, the server sits inside the app bundle.
- eridius 7y agoWhat's rather curious is it uses what appeared to be a nodejs server stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Blue Jeans/, but it passes the path to that to the app bundle (I can't inspect it further since I already deleted that whole folder). My best guess is Blue Jeans wanted the ability to update the server independently of the app, though I don't know why.
