MacOS: Manually force a daemon to start

macos unix daemon launchd

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/parallel.plist

should cause the daemon to autorun.

I know this post already has an answer but because this is such an uncommon topic, I thought I'd weigh in as well. The command that worked for me was

sudo launchctl kickstart system/com.example.service

The plist for this daemon would need to be in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
