Thread: Amendment to linux rc script

Hi Postgres-people,
    in the linux rc script for (start|stop)ing postgres
a comment says to add the following lines to the postgres
users' .bash_profile:

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/pgsql/man
    PGLIB=/opt/pgsql/lib
    PGDATA=/opt/pgsql/data

There should also be a line to export said variables, like so:

    export PATH MANPATH PGLIB PGDATA

Had problems with that when setting up postgres on redhat just now.


Thanks for an excellent database package !

trees can't You grep dead

Seems that is not our script, but made by some other organization.
