How to stop puma-dev without uninstalling?

[alfuken]

I want to periodically run some other apps on port 80, but can not do so since puma-dev is occupying that port. puma-dev -stop only stops the apps, but does not stop the puma-dev itself. When I kill it, it automatically goes back up.

Despite being installed via brew, it is not possible to control puma-dev via brew services (which is a whole separate issue by itself).

So the question is: how do I temporarily force puma-dev to stop and do NOT restart after being killed, until I explicitly want it back up again?

puma-dev -setup configures itself via launchd as io.puma.dev.

You should be able to suspend and resume the daemon using:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.puma.dev.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.puma.dev.plist

Edit: Use load/unload instead of start/stop.

Yes, well, not quite...

[nonrational]

Sorry you're right. We don't want start/stop, we want load/unload.

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.puma.dev.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.puma.dev.plist

Indeed, that worked! Thanks.

Would be a nice touch, though, if it would be possible to control it via brew services as well.
