# brew-services-menubar

> An OS X menu item for starting and stopping homebrew services.

This reads the [homebrew services](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-services) command, showing you the status of your services and allowing them to be started, stopped and restarted.



## Install

### Using Homebrew Cask

```

brew install --cask brewservicesmenubar

```

### Manually

Download from the [Releases](https://github.com/andrewn/brew-services-menubar/releases) page.

⚠️ You'll see a warning "BrewServicesMenubar" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This is because I haven't paid Apple for a developer account.

[More info about this malicious software warning](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchleab3a043/mac).

### Autostart

The program doesn't have an option to autostart itself, so you may want to open _System Preferences_ -> _Users & Groups_ -> _Login Items_ and add the application to the list to have it start when you log in.

## Usage

- Start a specific service by clicking its name

- Stop a specific running service (indicated with a tick) by clicking its name

- Hold the Option key to allow a single service to be restarted

## Configuration

By default looks for Homebrew at `/usr/local/bin/brew` and `/opt/Homebrew/bin/brew`.

If this not correct for your setup, you can customize it using:

```sh

defaults write andrewnicolaou.BrewServicesMenubar brewExecutable /usr/local/bin/brew

```
