Yes, but this requires user postgres to have a shell. Which
is what I'm trying to avoid, as I mentioned in my original post.
I've got mysql running as the mysql user (who doesn't have a
shell) by doing this:
/bin/sh -c 'cd /usr/local/mysql; ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &' > /dev/null
But as far as I can tell, PG doesn't have the --user option. Is
there some way like the above that I can start PG w/o giving
user postgres a shell?
thnx,
Chris
