Subject: [GENERAL] Init script for 8.1 compiled on Debian Stable
> Hi all,
>
> For the first time, I decided to compile and manually install PostgreSQL
> 8.1. I did it on my Debian Stable machine because I didn't want to add
> the testing or unstable repositories. Everything works fine with
> PostgreSQL 8.1!
>
> My question is, I got a copy of an 'init.d' script from another 8.1 on
> Debian install (from apt-get) and tried it on my system which,
> obviously, failed. Does any know of/have/are will to share an 'init.d'
> script for a stock compiled 8.1 on Debian Stable?
>
> From what I can tell it won't start if called from 'root' so the only
> thing I have thought of so far is writting a little setuid postgres
> script to start it but then I'd still have to manually kill the server
> should I want to stop/restart it, which isn't ideal.

> Thanks!!
