Start Stop Jenkins from Terminal on Mac OS X

Ola guys. I hope you came across my previous posts on setting up Ant and Maven with Jenkins. In today's post I'll show you how to start and stop Jenkins from Terminal on Mac OS X machine.

I assume you know how to shutdown Jenkins from console OR restart it from the URL field.

Alright so here we go.

For staring Jenkins from command line, type this in Terminal :

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

Give it a few seconds for Jenkins to startup and you can then see the console in the browser. If you still stay executing the startup command again you'll get the following message :

/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist: service already loaded

In the meantime you can double check if Jenkins has started by checking the process status in Terminal :

ps -ef | grep jenkins

For stopping Jenkins from the command line, type this in Terminal :

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

A rougher way to stop Jenkins is by killing the process ID of Jenkins that you found above with the ps -ef command.
