# List All Services Managed By Brew
|
||||
|
||||
Daemonized services, such as PostgreSQL, can be installed and managed with
|
||||
Homebrew. Under the hood `brew` uses `launchctl` on Mac to manage these
|
||||
services — i.e. starting, restarting, and stopping them.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming you've already installed some services, you can run `brew services
|
||||
list` to see what services there are and what their current status is.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ brew services list
|
||||
Name Status User File
|
||||
mailhog none
|
||||
mysql none
|
||||
postgresql@11 started jbranchaud ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql@11.plist
|
||||
postgresql@13 none
|
||||
postgresql@16 none
|
||||
unbound none
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is the default behavior if you just run `brew services` without a subcommand.
|
||||
|
||||
This is helpful if you are, for instance, trying to see which PostgreSQL server
|
||||
version you are currently running and which other ones are available to run. I
|
||||
might then issue a `stop` to `postgresql@11` so that I can then `start` the
|
||||
`postgresql@16` service.
|
||||
|
||||
See `brew services --help` for more details.
