Re: Reg: Pg_Ctl command help - Mailing list pgsql-general

How did you install it? It should be installed as a service.

Hello,

 

I have a query regarding starting the Postgres server using the ‘pg_ctl’ command in the command prompt (Windows OS).

 

I try to start  the postgres server using the following command,

pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data" start -w

 

After the server gets started, I’m closing the command prompt. But as soon as I close the console, the server gets forcefully shutdown. Again I have to restart the server  through command prompt.

Is there any way, where after starting the server, I have to exit the command prompt, still running the server at the background.

 

Please help me to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks & Regards,

A. Nadeem Ahmed
