Unusually the logs were not giving any useful clues, so I restarted in Safe mode (with the Shift key held down).
#A GOOD CLEANER FOR MAC OS 10.11.6 SOFTWARE#
The critical question now is whether the service which is crashing is within OS X, part of El Capitan, or some third-party software which might be old and broken. My next step was do perform an ordinary restart, let the system settle, and check again this sometimes clears the problem, but did not. When I checked Console again, launchd was still hammering away every 10 seconds. So I did not do anything for a while, but got on exploring El Capitan. Very occasionally problems like this go away of their own accord. But it could be something important which is broken. It could be an old and crufty service inherited from pre-Yosemite days, in which case, so long as it doesn’t crash hard or disrupt anything else, it is probably not a big deal. Although the errors do not indicate which service launchd cannot get running, something is missing. launchd is OS X’s service for starting other services of all kinds. You should be more concerned as to why such errors are occurring.
Yes, every 10 seconds there will be a slight performance hit as launchd goes through that loop again, but it is hardly going to cause beachballing or snarl apps up. The reports themselves are not a big deal: yes, they will result in huge logs, but in these days of terabyte drives, those logs will have limited impact on disk space. Once I was happy that El Capitan was ready for use, I opened Console to find, every 10 seconds, the following error reports: But minor glitches may be more subtle, and only revealed by streams of errors and warnings in the logs. Major glitches will normally be obvious, as you will discover features or whole apps that do not work. It is common for such major upgrades to have glitches.
Once you have breathed that deep sigh of relief, your next task is to check that OS X is also running fine, by inspecting your logs in Console.
Whenever you complete a major system upgrade, such as installing OS X 10.11 El Capitan, your first concern is to ensure that all your key apps are working fine.
