Once gestures is loaded and running you may wish to disable gesture actions, stop gestures for the current session or quit gestures altogether so it does not load automatically at startup.
These can be achieved as follows:

| Disable actions |
Should you want to just disable gesture actions then this can be achieved by setting the gesture interface to API only. Setting gestures' interface to "API only" effectively disables all gesture actions and prevents it from having any effect on the system, though it will continue to process touches and post gesture data to the UPDD driver for API usage. |
| Stop gestures |
To stop gestures you need to run the command upddprocesses stop -g. The upddprocesses script is described here. |
| Quit gestures |
Gesture version 2.6.0, released Dec 2017, implemented a 'launch agent' version of the gesture program.
A launch agent version was needed to allow start up items to be defined for all active user accounts.
Launch agent processes are automatically restarted if the application is quit so the quit menu bar item was removed in this version.
To prevent gestures loading at startup you need to move or delete the file:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.touch-base.upddgestures.plist.
