I have memcached installed via homebrew. <ol> <li>how do I start/stop the server? </li> <li>Any command-line tools to interact with memcached?</li> <li>does homebrew have a way of removing a package? </li> </ol>

When you installed it, it put a file named <code>homebrew.mxcl.memcached.plist</code> in <code>/usr/local/Cellar/memcached/$version/</code>; you copy that file into <code>~/Library/LaunchAgents</code> and then tell launchd to start it with <code>launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.memcached.plist</code>. If you were watching the console carefully during the <code>brew install</code> command, it should have said something about doing these exact steps. If you run <code>brew info</code> it'll re-print this information, e.g. <code>brew info memcached</code>. You should probably read https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage -- it has more useful documentation including the <code>brew remove</code> command which will remove the package if you decide you don't want it.

Instead, to get always-correct advice, run this command: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>brew info memcached </code></pre> </li> <li> Via telnet: <code>telnet localhost 11211</code> See also What are some useful tips/tools for monitoring/tuning memcached health? </li> <li><code>brew remove memcached</code></li> </ol>

Brew used to have a command brew services (https://thoughtbot.com/blog/starting-and-stopping-background-services-with-homebrew), now deprecated. Instead, to get always-correct advice, run this command:
```
brew info memcached 
```
Via telnet: telnet localhost 11211
