Hi team,

Lets say kickstart is going away very soon, some of the benchmarks remediations have kickstart referenced,

[rules/system_settings/system_settings_remote_management_disable.yaml]
[rules/system_settings/system_settings_location_services_disable.yaml]
[rules/system_settings/system_settings_location_services_enable.yaml]

Do we need to leverage kickstart here or is there another path?

This actually doesn't use launchctl kickstart.

We will be updating the location_services to use

pid=$(/bin/ps aux | /usr/bin/awk '/_locationd/,/\/usr\/libexec\/locationd/{print $2;exit}')
kill -9 $pid
