Answer 1

You can also use Lunchy to set the start/stop. Lunchy is a wrapper written over launchctl. I’ve written a detailed post about this.

$ gem install lunchy
$ mkdir ~/Library/LaunchAgents
$ cp /usr/local/Cellar/memcached/$version/homebrew.mxcl.memcached.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

To start memcached

$ lunchy start memcached

To stop memcahed

$ lunchy stop memcached
