Description:
Hi.
I have just installed OpenBSD 6.0 with the postgresql package (pg 9.5.3)
Section 17.3 of the postgresql documentation gives a recommended startup
script for OpenBSD to be put into /etc/rc.local
The path is incorrect for pg_ctl and postgres. These are located in
/usr/local/bin and not /usr/local/pgsql/bin as given. Naturally this does
not allow postgresql to start at boot.
Also I used '-l logfile' which will write into the postgres user home
directory as the /var/postgresql directory shown, although present, would
have to have permissions or ownership changed to allow a write (I did not
pursue that but dmesg clearly shows an error).
Else the documentation is as always a great help.
