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

Configuration

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.
