Manage an ElasticSearch Cluster on OS X With LaunchAgents

es_cluster

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apply () {
    for node in '' 2 3
    do
        launchctl $1 ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch${node}.plist
    done
}

status () {
    ps ax | grep elasticsearch | grep -v "grep"
    curl 'http://localhost:9200/?pretty'
    curl 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty'
}

es_kill () {
    jps | grep "Elasticsearch" | cut -f1 -d' ' | xargs kill
}

case $1 in
    'down')
        apply 'unload'
        ;;
    'status')
        status
        ;;
    'kill')
        es_kill
        ;;
    *)
        apply 'load'
        ;;
esac

put this in /usr/local/bin and run "chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/es_cluster"

usage is

to start all:
es_cluster

to stop all:
es_cluster down

Nice script. Would it make sense to add an init command that sets up the plist files?

Good idea, could write it from a template
