Обсуждение: auto start up at boot time
Hi, all. I'm trying to figure out how to have postmaster automatically restart upon rebooting (on a Sun Solaris system). I added a script to the /etc/rc3.d directory, but turns out it has to run under non-root privs. It referred to the INSTALL file for further info, but I couldn't find this file, and all the documentation I looked at discussed starting postmaster on the command line. Any suggestions or pointers to where I should look at? Thanks, --Cindy -- ctmoore@uci.edu
You could try using the command su <unpriveldged user> -c <command you want to run> Make that your script and you should not have any problems Darren Darren Ferguson On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Cindy wrote: > > Hi, all.

See an existing init script for the general idea. 2) The init script should do something like: PGDATA=/usr/local/var/lib/pgsql; export PGDATA # or whatever you're using # set any other needed environment variables here su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start" -Doug -- Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees. --T.

I run Postgresql on Solaris 8. e-mail me off line and I'll send you the script I use in /etc/init.d I think however it comes with the Postgresql tar file distribution. Look around for it first. But ask and I'll send it. --- Doug McNaught <doug@wireboard.com> wrote: > Cindy <ctmoore@uci.edu> writes: > > > Hi, all.
