I'm installing a new version of Postgresql. The .deb available is only v6.3, and I wan't to install the beta version, so I need to install it myself. I'm a little confused by how to perform automatic startup/shutdown of the 'postmaster' daemon when the pc starts up or shuts down. The Postgresql documentation has this suggestion for Red Hat: (in /etc/inittab) pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/usr/local/pgsql/data >> /usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1 </dev/null"
But it seems that Debian has a complicated combination of scripts in init.d and links in rcX.d. Can anyone explain to me how I should set up my DBMS? Mark. --- Mark Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
