Stop job that work under launchd temporarily in Mac OS

launchd, macos

Solution

I think no.

`launchctl unload` is the only way to temporarily stop the service in OS X.

Problem

I have Redis job that installed under launchd. In order to check how my app work without Redis I want to stop one for a moment. ``` $launchctl stop homebrew.redis # => redis down and up right away ``` I know command `launchctl unload path_to_plist` but it's not solution for me. Does the solution without unloading plist exist?
