Question

Is it possible to know the .plist file location which is loaded into the launchctl command?

Answer 1

In recent versions of macOS you can use the launchctl print command. You have to know which domain it's running under, e.g. system or gui/. There are a few other domains you can find in the man page, but so far I have only seen services running under these two. Examples:

% launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.cloudphotod  | grep path
    path = /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.cloudphotod.plist

 % launchctl print system/com.openssh.sshd | grep path 
    path = /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
    stderr path = /dev/null

I believe this command was implemented in High Sierra or thereabouts.
