Обсуждение: ubuntu 9.04 and auto-start
Hi, I have installed postgres 8.3 and it runs if I manually start postgres. That is to say I '/etc/init.d/postgresql start' as root. Runs perfectly. But if I restart the computer postgres does not auto-start. I've done a little research but did not see anything that jumped off the page to tell me how to get postgres to auto-start. On openSUSE there is a utility under YAST that allows the user to check postgres to auto-start. I can't find the same in Ubuntu 9.04. So how do I auto-start Postgres on Ubuntu 9.04? -- John Fabiani

Also, sysvconfig tools like RH uses are available: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html

Thanks - that sounds easy to do. I'll research what and how it works this evening. -- John Fabiani

Because it contains /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 (note the version number in the filename) as shown here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/postgresql-8.3/filelist and the installation procedure normally sets up the links so that it starts at boot time.

The same way you add any other service in Ubuntu :) To add a service, use update-rc.d <servicename> defaults In your case, it sounds like your servicename is postgresql, so you'd have update-rc.d postgresql defaults Try this URL: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "johnf" <jfabiani@yolo.com> To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 6:25:22 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [GENERAL] ubuntu 9.04 and auto-start Hi, I have installed postgres 8.3 and it runs if I manually start postgres.

In ubuntu it'll have a version number as well since you can have >1 version installed, so... update-rc.d postgresql-8.3 defaults On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 5:22 PM, John Cheng <jlcheng@ymail.com> wrote: > > The same way you add any other service in Ubuntu :) > > To add a service, use > > update-rc.d <servicename> defaults > > In your case, it sounds like your servicename is postgresql, so you'd have > > update-rc.d postgresql defaults > > Try this URL: > > http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "johnf" <jfabiani@yolo.com> > To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org > Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 6:25:22 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific > Subject: [GENERAL] ubuntu 9.04 and auto-start > > Hi, > I have installed postgres 8.3 and it runs if I manually start postgres.
