The default start would read the config file from its predefined location, set by ./configure. No command line options would be necessary for the postmaster to run, though they could be provided. The config file should contain the pgdata location; this and any other parameter should be overridden if a different location is specified by a command-line option. I think the config should be able to contain all information that can be specified on the command line (except, of course, the location of the configuration file.) -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein."
