Brew postgres

TIL how to make sure my brew installed postgres is not running.

It auto-restarts so we have to stop it properly!

Hence killport 5432 doesn’t work.

Use brew services list

…to give the list of services.

Then:

brew services stop postgresql@14

Thanks stackoverflow!

More homebrew learning : Brew install openjdk : needs a symlink to really work : thanks to John Siu’s blog. And I learned to use brew info openjdk : which gives this vital follow up task.
