Service command on Mac OS X

I used to be able to execute on the Mac OS X (10.10.5) command line: 

$ sudo service tomcat7 status

However, I must have accidentally deleted the package associated with service command and I am unable to find the name of the service package to reinstall. Any pointers would be greatly helpful.

I can't find service in either /sbin/ or /bin/ or /usr/sbin/

If you want to start mysql on OSX which is installed through brew, please use this command:

brew services start [email protected]

Update the mysql version based on the system mysql version.

I think you need launchctl.

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.tomcat.plist

See https://www.joel.lopes-da-silva.com/2008/05/13/installing-tomcat-on-mac-os-x/
