Thread: -i option

How do I start Postgres from sysv with the -i option. When I edit the runlevel script and add the -i switch just behind the -l, it appears that pg_ctl doesn't recognize it as a valid command. It does, however, work fine with the postmaster command

pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/  -o "-i"

add "-o" before the "-i"

pg_ctl passes command line options to the postmaster like so:

pg_ctl -o '-i'
