Greetings. Running a locally-compiled postgresql 7.0.3, I'm still trying to get it to start up automatically at boot time. The trick is, of course, to get it to start as user postgres instead of root.
I've got it mostly working, using start-stop-daemon; the command is: start-stop-daemon --start <path> --exec <path> --chuid postgres that works well, EXCEPT that I need to pass a non-standard option to the postmaster (the option is -i). According to the start-stop-daemon manpage, I should be able to use -- followed by -i (because anything following -- is supposed to be passed to the executed program). However, it just doesn't happen; I include these, then use pg_ctl status to check on it, and the -i option isn't there. And the functionality isn't either -- the database is accessible only from the local machine. Any ideas? Thanks. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J.
