====== Completely disable macOS CrashReport ======

While you can [[blog:odborny:2015-07-31-disable_os_x_crashreporter_dialog_after_application_force-quit]], this won't prevent CrashReport process from actually starting up after application crash to gather the information and create log.

This can from seconds to dozens of minutes depending on size of the process which crashed.

===== Preventing CrashReport process from starting up =====

To disable crash reporting process, write into Terminal:
<code bash>
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist
</code>

To re-enable crash reporting process, write into Terminal:
<code bash>
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist
</code>
