Thread: Start up and shutdown scripts for postgres on cygwin
I am new to cygwin how I can use the equivalent of Linux rc.d scripts in cygwin to get postgres started I want to run postgres automatically after I start cygwin, and get it to shutdown when cygwin shuts down. It is always necessary to redefine the PGDATA variable after I start. The variables don't remain after cygwin shuts down. What sort of script can I use to achieve this? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Try using cygrunsrv that is part of Cygwin now -- the README has a PostgreSQL example in it. > It is always necessary to redefine the PGDATA variable after I start.

Does the cygrunsrv have a home page? I have checked the cygwin homepage but I have not seen it there. Can you tell me the location? I would like to read more about before installing it?

Can you > tell me the location? I would like to read more about before installing it? cygrunsrv is one of the latest packages -- it is automatically installed when you update from a Cygwin mirror. The tarball is only 15K -- so why don't you just install it? Note that installing the package has no affect on your system (except for disk space consumption) until you start to install services with it. So why don't you install it and read the README? Otherwise, you can always download and untar to a temp directory and then delete it... Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: 732.264.8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corp.
