brew-webstack-control

A shell script to control, by default, a Homebrew-installed web development stack with nginx, php-fpm and MySQL without using OS X LaunchAgents.

This script could easily be configured to support other daemon processes as well, provided they have pidfiles.

Usage

chmod +x control.sh
./control.sh start|stop|restart|reload|status

Each process to handle has one configuration "block" comprised of a few set variables, some of which are required:

(required) CONF_PATH
- Path to the executable file used for launching.
(required) CONF_PID
- Path to the process' pidfile.
(optional) CONF_SUDO
- Set to true to run all commands for the process with sudo.
(optional) CONF_START
- Custom command used to launch process.
- If absent, CONF_PATH will be executed during start.
(optional) CONF_STOP
- Custom command used to stop process.
- If absent, SIGQUIT will be sent to the process.
(optional) CONF_RELOAD
- Custom command used to reload process configuration.
- If absent, process will be skipped during reload.

In CONF_STOP and CONF_RELOAD, any occurence of the string __PID__ will be replaced with the running process' PID.
