Mac OSX uninstall Mosquitto

[Bilal Ashraf]

Hi Guys, 

I have install mosquitto broker on Mac OSX using home brew and now i need to stop or uninstall it but its not doing so. I have uninstalled it using home brew, removed it and tried "Killall" and pkill and Kill -A but it respawns itself again. Please help me uninstall or stop it so remove it completely from my system.

 It's likely that you have it setup as an OS X background service - have you tried "brew services stop mosquitto" and then "brew services cleanup" ?

I have tried this, but no use. So in the command below, you can see that mosquitto is restarted again with different PID, I have also tried pkill and killall but the behaviour is same. 

$ ps -A | grep mosquitto                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

39310 ttys001    0:00.00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn mosquitto

$ brew services stop mosquitto                                                                                                                                                                                            

Error: Service `mosquitto` is not started.

$ ps -A | grep mosquitto

Hi Bilal,

Looks like you are getting the grep command in you ps - A | grep  mosquitto. When I run it I get:

ps -A | grep mosquitto

70189 ttys008    0:00.00 grep mosquitto

Have a look at whether port 1883 is open? If not I'd say that mosquitto is not running and probably uninstalled as well.

Well i have tried, the ports 1883 is free but not port 1884.  I have deployed mosquitto packed in docker but when i try to bind the port of docker it does not do so. Now i am thinking that it might be something else.
