+        launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist

+    Note on upgrading: 
+        We overwrite any existing com.mysql.mysqld.plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents 
+        if we are upgrading becuase previous versions of this brew created the 
+        plist with a version specific program argument.
