Note: We love RethinkDB but our current project does not use it so we need to free up resources on our local machine ...

We installed RethinkDB using homebrew:

brew update && brew install rethinkdb

And added the rethinkdb process to our plist as per the instructions in: http://rethinkdb.com/docs/start-on-startup/

But now we need to shut it down to free-up the 8080 port for another service.

What command do we need to run? (thanks!)

Do this in the terminal

check to see if you started it using brew

$ brew services list

stop rethinkdb:

$ brew services stop rethinkdb

restart:

$ brew services start rethinkdb

Like this, I think, if you used launchctl:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rethinkdb.server.plist
