I'm not familiar with SystemStarter, but here is the plist file that I've been using on several of my machines to start my own copy of postgres. Modified from the copy that comes with apple's server.app. This file goes in /Library/LaunchDaemons, and then can be loaded with the command sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/<whatever you named the file.plist> substitute load with unload to stop postgres. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>org.postgresql.postgres-mine</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster</string> <string>-D</string> <string>/usr/local/pgsql/data</string> <string>-h</string> <string>*</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_postgres</string> </dict> </plist> ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Systems Analyst II Ravn Alaska 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7293 ----------------------------------------------- > > Thanks, > > Jerry > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
