PostgreSQL version: 9.2.2
Operating system: OSX
Description: =
FILE:
postgresql-9.2.2/contrib/start-scripts/osx/PostgreSQL ; and
many previous versions

refers to a dead link.
I wrote to Apple who confirmed it was dead, implicitly declined my request
for a redirection, and suggested I report here.
Suggest this bit of text be snipped as the underlying methodology has been
deprecated for years, and is likely to be dropped soon. Specifically there
seems little point educating those who don't already know this method.
OBSERVATION:
I am thinking this contribution should be enhanced/replaced with a method
suitable for current versions of OSX? So far I have not found a working
<plist> recipe for my situation (and I have tried quite a few) so feel
poorly placed to offer anything just now. Happy to trial ideas as suggested.
Esp. since I seem to have invented a 'tough' environment :(
Could you point me to an active postgresql discussion of this, so I can get
up to speed (still pretty new to the pg community).
Many thanks. G
