A service management command-line utility for [Matterbridge](https://github.com/Luligu/matterbridge/), inspired by [Homebridge's](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Homebridge-Service-Command) `hb-service`.

This command-line utility is primarily focused on supporting the macOS platform, as that is my primary platform at home, but it does have experimental support for Linux. The author of [Matterbridge](https://github.com/Luligu/matterbridge/) now has a dedicated utility for supporting Linux, [mb-service-linux](https://github.com/Luligu/mb-service-linux), which is a more mature option for Linux users.

## How This Project Uses `launchd` on macOS

On macOS, `mb-service` manages the Matterbridge service using the native `launchd` system. It creates a Launch Daemon configuration file at `/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.matterbridge.plist`. This file tells `launchd` how to start, stop, and manage the Matterbridge process as a background service.

You can inspect the service status and configuration using:

```shell
% launchctl print system/com.matterbridge
system/com.matterbridge = {
% launchctl print system/io.matterbridge
system/io.matterbridge = {
active count = 1
path = /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.matterbridge.plist
path = /Library/LaunchDaemons/io.matterbridge.plist
type = LaunchDaemon
state = running
