There are two things going on.

(1) will your system start Jenkins when it comes up. Controlled by load and unload.

(2) Is Jenkins currently running or not. Controlled by start and stop.

Jenkins unload stops it and it won't load again on boot up

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

stop it without unloading it ( will load again when you reboot)

sudo launchctl stop /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

load it - starts it and will restart whenever your system boots

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

restarts it, doesn't effect loaded or unloaded status

sudo launchctl start /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist
