Re: Setting shmmax in /etc/rc on Mac OS X to install Postgres

Shane and Tom, you guys nailed it.  Although I did have another problem.

I went with Shane's 1610612736 recommendation.  However, I suspected all was not well with my file.  I had saved it with Edit.  Found a vi guide, opened it with vi, cleaned out all the extra header garbage, chaned shhmax and save it.  Shut the mac down and restarted.  Postres started right up.

Now I have also uncovered another problem, how do you get rid of a sysctl.conf.swp file?  Couldn't get that done in vi.  But I can even see reference to it outside of vi.  If you don't have time to tell me I'll research deleting a swp file when I get done setting up my postgres.

Thank you all,
Doug
