This small added complexity launchctl error unloading probably justifies a function for running appropriate launchctl commands. Homebrew has a strong convention for the naming of launchd plists: "homebrew.mxcl.FORMULA_NAME.plist", e.g. "homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist" and "homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist". This likely makes a function to do the launchctl work fairly straightforward. I'm working on a PR to cover this. gohanlon added a commit that referenced this issue Jul 23, 2014 gohanlon Add idempotent brew_launchctl_restart function … Fixes #260. 0bf038d croaky added a commit that closed this issue Jul 25, 2014 gohanlon
