Save the following as /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mysql.mysqld.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>Umask</key> <integer>7</integer> <key>UserName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>WorkingDirectory</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql</string> <key>GroupName</key> <string>_mysql</string> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/> <key>Program</key> <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld</string> <key>Label</key> <string>org.mysql.mysqld</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>--user=_mysql</string> </array> </dict> </plist>
And in a bash session, run the following:
sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mysql.mysqld.plist sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mysql.mysqld.plist sudo launchctl start org.mysql.mysqld
If you don’t use MacPorts, and have a hard time finding a startup plist file for Nginx, and had trouble getting Nginx to startup with your custom plist file, this might be your solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>nginx</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>NetworkState</key>
<true/>
<key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Just save this as /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nginx.nginx.plist and perform the following in a bash session:
sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nginx.nginx.plist sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nginx.nginx.plist sudo launchctl start org.nginx.nginx
