I keep getting these reported every second in /var/log/guestagent.log
Any ideas? It appears to be docker related.
Note though - this is edge + Mojave +.1 beta

I see no mention of this service except for on RedHat. From what I’ve learned, it’s a service that allows guest connections to perform actions on a host.
Personally, I’m not interested in such service so I removed it
Got this when digging:
$ sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.AppleQEMUGuestAgent.plist
