As you've already figured out runas will not work with /noprofile (on
Windows 2000). I guess you should update
http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/win32snap/. I've wasted half a day trying to
launch the damn server without this critical bit of info.
Note that runas window does not respond to Ctrl+C for some reason. The only
way i've managed to correctly launch/shutdown a server (why the heck have
have you named it "postmaster"?) only with runas /user:pgsql "pg_ctl start"
and runas /user:pgsql "pg_ctl stop". I guess this should be mentioned on
hagander.net/pgsql/win32snap too.
To kranas: runas /user:.\postgres is a bit superfluous as i've figured out.
runas /user:postgres should be enough.
