Cause

  • The process com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist is disabled.

Solution

  • Enable the process with the command:
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist

This will remove the service’s Daemon from the list of disabled services, and then run it. From that point on, the system will run its daemon automatically.
This change will survive reboot.

  • The user can check if the service is running with
    # sudo launchctl list | grep com.che.
