Enable PostgreSQL autostart#

To enable a PostgreSQL instance from starting when you turn on your mac run the following command:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-x.x.plist

Disable PostgreSQL autostart#

To disable a PostgreSQL instance from starting when you turn on your mac run the following command:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.edb.launchd.postgresql-x.x.plist
note

The unload -w should add a <Disabled><true/> key to the plist file. If for some reason that doesn't work, manually add the Disabled key.
