# brew-services(1) - Easily start and stop formulas via launchctl
# ===============================================================
#
# ## SYNOPSIS
#
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `list`<br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `restart` <formula><br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `start` <formula> [<plist>]<br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `stop` <formula><br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `cleanup`<br>
#
# ## DESCRIPTION
#
# Integrates homebrew formulas with MacOS X' `launchctl` manager. Services
# can either be added to `/Library/LaunchDaemons` or `~/Library/LaunchAgents`.
# Basically items added to `/Library/LaunchDaemons` are started at boot,
# those in `~/Library/LaunchAgents` at login.
#
# When started with `sudo` it operates on `/Library/LaunchDaemons`, else
# in the user space.
#
# Basically on `start` the plist file is generated and written to a `Tempfile`,
# then copied to the launch path (existing plists are overwritten).
#
# ## OPTIONS
#
# To access everything quickly, some aliases have been added:
#
# * `rm`:
# Shortcut for `cleanup`, because that's basically whats being done.
#
# * `ls`:
# Because `list` is too much to type :)
#
# * `reload', 'r':
# Alias for `restart`, which gracefully restarts selected service.
#
# * `load`, `s`:
# Alias for `start`, guess what it does...
#
# * `unload`, `term`, `t`:
# Alias for `stop`, stops and unloads selected service.
#
# ## SYNTAX
#
# Several existing formulas (like mysql, nginx) already write custom plist
# files to the formulas prefix. Most of these implement `#startup_plist`
# which then in turn returns a neat-o plist file as string.
#
# `brew services` operates on `#startup_plist` as well and requires
# supporting formulas to implement it. This method should either string
# containing the generated XML file, or return a `Pathname` instance which
# points to a plist template, or a hash like:
#
# { :url => "https://gist.github.com/raw/534777/63c4698872aaef11fe6e6c0c5514f35fd1b1687b/nginx.plist.xml" }
#
# Some simple template parsing is performed, all variables like `{{name}}` are
# replaced by basically doing:
# `formula.send('name').to_s if formula.respond_to?('name')`, a bit like
# mustache. So any variable in the `Formula` is available as template
# variable, like `{{var}}`, `{{bin}}` usw.
#
# ## EXAMPLES
#
# Install and start service mysql at boot:
#
# $ brew install mysql
# $ sudo brew services start mysql
#
# Stop service mysql (when launched at boot):
#
# $ sudo brew services stop mysql
#
# Start memcached at login:
#
# $ brew install memcached
# $ brew services start memcached
#
# List all running services for current user, and root:
#
# $ brew services list
# $ sudo brew services list
#
# ## BUGS
#
# `brew-services.rb` might not handle all edge cases, though it tries
# to fix problems by running `brew services cleanup`.
