ElasticSearch Preference Pane for Mac OS X
A simple System Preferences pane for starting and stopping the ElasticSearch daemon.
By default, the settings provided will get you up and running if you installed ElasticSearch using Homebrew. However, if necessary, you can simply change the location of the ElasticSearch binary as well as the location for the PID file and any arguments you want passed to the ElasticSearch daemon.
