BASH

Managing Local Development Services

Create a convenient Bash script to start, stop, or restart multiple local development services like databases or cache servers with a single command.

#!/bin/bash

SERVICE_MYSQL="/usr/local/bin/mysql.server" # Adjust path as needed
SERVICE_REDIS="redis-server"

function start_services() {
  echo "Starting MySQL..."
  sudo "$SERVICE_MYSQL" start
  echo "Starting Redis..."
  "$SERVICE_REDIS" --daemonize yes
  echo "All services started."
}

function stop_services() {
  echo "Stopping MySQL..."
  sudo "$SERVICE_MYSQL" stop
  echo "Stopping Redis..."
  pkill redis-server # Find and kill the redis process
  echo "All services stopped."
}

function restart_services() {
  stop_services
  sleep 2
  start_services
  echo "All services restarted."
}

case "$1" in
  start)
    start_services
    ;;
  stop)
    stop_services
    ;;
  restart)
    restart_services
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

How it works: This script provides a simple command-line interface to manage multiple local development services. Users can pass `start`, `stop`, or `restart` as arguments to control services like MySQL and Redis, streamlining their development workflow by consolidating commands. Ensure service paths are correct for your environment.
