Title Body

I've installed mongodb and have been able to run it, work with it, do simple DB read / write type stuff. Now I'm trying to set up my Mac to run mongod as a service. I get "Command not found" in response to: init mongod start In response to: ~: service mongod start service: This command still works, but it is deprecated. Please use launchctl(8) instead. service: failed to start the 'mongod' service And if I try: ~: launchctl start mongod launchctl start error: No such process So obviously I'm blundering around a bit. Next step seems to be typing in random characters until something works. The command which does work is: mongod --quiet & I'm not sure, maybe that is the way you're supposed to do it? Maybe I should just take off 'quiet mode' and add > /logs/mongo.log to the end of the command line? I'm building a development environment on a Mac with the intention of doing the same thing on a linux server. I'm just not sure of the Bash commands. All the other searches I do with trying to pull up the answer give me advice for windows machines. Perhaps someone knows the linux version of the commands? Thanks very much
