Yea, that part of the homebrew install seems to be a mess.
They keep changing the damn launch script. It used to be /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.mariadb.plist, but now it appears to be /Library/LaunchDaemons/tigerbrew.mistydemeo.mariadb.plist.
They also keep farting with putting it is System space or User space. I think the last time I installed, it put it in /Library/LaunchDaemons. (Ugh. Why put the start-up for a multi-user database in a User's Library?)
The last time I upgraded via homebrew, I think I had to:
Don't take my word for it! Understand where the new script is, and where you want it to be, and what you have to do to get it to run at system boot — if that is your intention.
I wish the Homebrew would figure this out and remain consistent!
For some reason, submitting that comment devoured all the tildes I typed.
I believe I found the latest script in TILDE/Library/LaunchAgents. If you're running it multi-user, and want it to start whenever you boot, you need it in /Library/LaunchDaemens, with no leading tilde.
I wish this KnowledgeBase wouldn't fart with what I type in!
(Do character entities work? Testing tilde: ~)
