What is the correct way to start a mongod service

问题:

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

With recent builds of mongodb community edition, this is straightforward.

When you install via brew, it tells you what exactly to do. There is no need to create a new launch control file.

$ brew install mongodb

==> Pouring mongodb-3.0.6.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
To have launchd start mongodb at login:
  ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load mongodb now:
  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
  mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
