How can I disable the calendar agent from running on Mac OS X Lion?

Question

I suppose that because because of the updated way that the Calendar application is integrated into the OS X system and the notification area the "calendar agent" needs to constantly run in the background on OS X ML.

You can try like this:

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist

If you want to make this permanent:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist

Hope it helps!
