Hello,
Postmaster is not initializing when our Red Hat server is rebooting.
We have followed what is stated in the manual with a slight modification to allow TCPIP connections.
i.e.
in the file /etc/inittab
-----------------------------<SNIP>---------------------------------------------
# Run Postgres in standard runlevels
pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >>
/usr/local/pgsql/logs/server.log2>&1 </dev/null"
-----------------------------<EOF>---------------------------------------------
This seems to execute since if we introduce a deliberate error we get a warning on reboot.
But with the line exactly as above we get no warnings, no server.log file is generated and the postmaster task is not
visibleif we run "ps -A" as root.
Any help would be gratefully received including alternative methods of forcing Postgres to initialize on reboot.
Many Thanks,
Matthew Green
