I am trying to uninstall my old sql so that I can install a new one. I am following this post but stuck at launchctl unload.

[~/Library/LaunchAgents]$ ls com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist com.mysql.mysqld.plist com.facebook.videochat.ava.plist homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist launchctl: Couldn't stat("/Users/ava/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to unload

Why is not able to find the file when it is there?

  • Search for homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist file in your mac Commented Aug 22, 2013 at 14:47

brew service stop mysql Error: Unknown command: service
@argoden You have wrong spell of services. You should add "s" to it. Anyway you can try copy then paste.
