Because it's the correct and documented method of restarting a daemon?
Indiscriminately kill -9'ing processes is generally ill-advised, and the fact that this particular service restarts itself is only because it happens to have its KeepAlive key configured. Another service might not, and would not react well to being killed.
- Buggem 3y agoForce killing system processes is quite obviously bad for your system, although the Core Audio Daemon is a special case. However, I would never force kill almost any other system daemon, unless you want to risk data loss/corruption and potential damage to your Mac.
