This might be trivial, but, shouldn't you su to the user(postgres or
whatever you used) that's supposed to run the postmaster?

Subject: [GENERAL] Trying to auto start Postgres when server boots up
Hi,
I am using PostgreSQL 7.4.7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
I want to start the Postgres Postmaster automatically when the server boots
up.
I have tried putting the command
"/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l
/usr/local/pgsql/data/server.log start"
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file but when the server boots up it gets
stuck at the point "Enabling swap space [OK]".
Usually the Red Hat desktop would come up but it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Shahid Butt
