Here is the 9.0 versionand yes I meant maintenance_work_mem

# Postgresql Memory Configuration and Sizing Script
# By: James Morton
# Last Updated 05/16/2012
#
# Note This script is meant to be used with by the postgres user with a
configured .pgpass file
# It is for Postgres version 9 running on Linux and only tested on Centos 5
#
# Reference -
http://eee.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/kernel-resources.html
#
# This script should be run after changing any of the following in the
postgresconf.sql
#
# maximum_connections
# block_size
# wal_block_size
# wal_buffers
# max_locks_per_transaction
# max_prepared_transactions
# shared_buffers
#
# or after changing the following OS kernel values
#
# SHMMAX
# SHMALL
# SHMMNI
# SEMMNS
# SEMMNI
# SEMMSL

#!/bin/bash
