Обсуждение: Need PostgreSQL startup scripts
Hi all,
If anybody has a minute or two, can they please email me the startup
script they use on their system to automatically start PostgreSQL when
the system boots?
I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 startup script for PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on the
techdocs.postgresql.org site, and I'm looking for startup scripts for
other OS's. Startup scripts that are SANE of course.
From what I understand of Debian, it uses a different method of starting
up than Mandrake, so I'd appreciate a copy of the Debian startup script
especially.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Oops. Thanks Peter, I hadn't thought of checking there. Now that I know you are already addressing this, I'm not sure they need to be on the techdocs site. I don't think we should have too much duplication and therefore wasted effort. Do you think it would be better to remove the startup scripts section from the techdocs site, or leave it there?

It wouldn't hurt to leave a note mentioning the fact that they're there - it was ages before I noticed that the contrib directory existed at all, and I still tend to miss when new stuff is introduced. - Richard Huxton

when i do an
apt-get install postgresql
on my debian potato (2.2) system, it creates the
/etc/init.d/postgresql
script which can be called via symlink from any of the
/etc/rc*.d/S??* startup scripts to match your runlevels (where
rc3.d would be for runlevel 3).
so in theory, it should just 'come with the meat' and simply work
out-of-the-box. if not, you can try
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
(as root) toget it going by hand, and then check
man update-rc.d
to see how to use the debian way to install runlevel-specific
hooks to get postgresql going.

Look at the one in Red Hat Linux - Lamar and I've both contributed to it, and I would believe Mandrake just has an older copy of it. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc.

Feel free to keep them there. Maybe it's better to track them on the web, since distributions change so often. The ones in contrib are more "proof of concept" types anyway. Once we have a large collection of scripts we can perhaps consolidate them and make a few of them official. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
I had the same problem with the start up script on debian myself. Rebooting
took care of it, though I'm not sure why. I wasn't able to just simply type
"/etc/init.d/postgresql start" and it start. I did a complete reboot and it
did start.
