Re: [SQL] How to check postgres running or not ?

Just to enforce the test is better looking for the entire executable path:
ps aux | grep /usr/bin/postmaster | grep -v grep
Does not work for me!
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/postmaster | grep -v grep
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep
postgres   670  0.1  0.6  8544 1688 pts/1S12:33   0:00 
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

So...
 ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep 
is more reliable(?)

Perhaps I have a bug in pg_ctrl?
This is what I get...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep 
;/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/pg_ctl status
postgres   670  0.0  0.6  8544 1688 pts/1S12:33   0:00 
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster
pg_ctl: postmaster or postgres is not running
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

If any one, then how to detect that database ?

The standard way would be pg_ctl status.  man
pg_ctl is recommended reading for anyone
administering a PostgreSQL setup.

Well, the way I usually check on what databases are
running is thus:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/mm5/doc netstat -an | grep PG

unix  2  [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING

One could presumably script things further to get
more out of that; it
doesn't normally seem worthwhile to do so...

Assuming it is unix  The command
ps xau|grep post
If it is running it will produce output like...

[SQL] pg_dump/pg_restore question

2004-08-22 Thread Worik
Freinds
I am new to this list, and this is my first message.
I hope this is the correct forum, and the question not too stupid/simple.
I have a database on a debian stable system...
dpkg -l postgresql
[snip]
ii  postgresql 7.2.1-2woody5  Object-relational SQL database, 
descended fr

When I dump a database (as from the man page for pg_restore)
pg_dump mydb  mydb.out
OK.  Get an SQL dump in mydb.out
Create a new database
creatdb myotherdb
Load the dump
psql -d myotherdb -f mydb.out
psql:mydb.out:4: \connect: FATAL 1:  IDENT authentication failed for 
user postgres

I have tried adding the line
host   all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255trust
to pg_hba.conf but it makes no difference.
The only thing I can do is edit the dump file into the part that wants 
to connect as postgres and the part that wants to connect as worik and 
run them under their respective logins.

How can I set it up so I do not have to do that?
What documentation should I be reading?
Worik
