which mysql.server should I use to restart mysql in MacOS?

Question

I'm trying to restart mysql on my MacBook and I found this command: sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart

However, /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server does not exist in my mac. The following exists:

john@John-MacBook-Pro:~/Infervision/logs$ find / -name "*mysql.server"  2>/dev/null 
/usr/local/bin/mysql.server
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.11/bin/mysql.server
/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.11/support-files/mysql.server

which one should I use?

You should use brew command for restarting your services installed using Brew. The command to restart MySQL would be:

brew service restart mysql
