Starting on macOS

The OS service manager on macOS is launchd, and the terminal command for controlling it is launchctl. You can load, unload, start, stop, or check the status of the faspio-gateway service by running the launchctl subcommands.

launchctl subcommands

  • Load the service. Loading the service also starts it:
    $ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ibm.aspera.faspio-gateway.plist
  • Start the loaded service (such as a stopped service that is still loaded):
    $ sudo launchctl start com.ibm.aspera.faspio-gateway
  • Check the status of the service:
    $ sudo launchctl list | grep com.ibm.aspera.faspio-gateway
  • Stop the service:
    $ sudo launchctl stop com.ibm.aspera.faspio-gateway
  • Unload the service:
    $ sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ibm.aspera.faspio-gateway.plist
