Обсуждение: postmaster error log

I'm trying to start the postmaster exactly how it is written in the
installation instructions:

nohup postmaster -i > pgserver.log 2>&1 &

However, RedHat Linux 6.1 gives me an 'Ambiguous output redirect '
error. This is probably because I'm using TCSH instead of BASH.

Is there a way that I can redirect like this in TCSH? Currently, I just
use:

nohup postmaster -i > pgserver.log &

However, the errors are written to stdout and not to pgserver.log (as I
would want it).

You need to read your shell's manpage, try:

  nohup postmaster -i >& pgserver.log &

This worked. The output still gets directed to stdout but is also logged
into the file.

Thanks.

I had the same problem, try:

           nohup postmaster -i >& pgserver.log
