Postgres on Mac - psql runs automatically

Question

I installed postgres recently using the postgres mac app. Now every time i start a new terminal (bash), it triggers and starts psql on the terminal. I'm not able to find the place where this is configured. This is not part of .bashrc or .bash_profile for sure. So it only happens if I start new terminal tab, not if I source bash_profile/rc

Nothing in terminal > preferences > startup script. I'm clueless!

OBSELETE open this file : Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-9.0.plist(change 9.0 to your version number)

EDIT for 9.4.4 (open or create this file instead) : ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist. Then, follow the steps in the section called automatically Start the Server at Boot from this blog post.

after the line : <key>RunAtLoad</key>

replace <true/> to <false/>

save your file then restart the terminal and it should work

ahh interesting. I think it was triggered from another script. I actually went ahead and disabled a bunch of things from LaunchDaemons and the problem is not occurring anymore. Thanks
