Thread: Starting the Server at Boot
I tried to check the archives but I couldn't find a way to search... Anyway, I want to start my Postgres server at boot (7.1). I tried the script that came with it and it doesn't work. It seems to start the server but it doesn't accept connections (yes, the -i option is on)... Is there a trick? I'm using RedHat 6 so it's a SysV boot... Any help is appreciated. Hunter

Perhaps the reason that -i didn't work is that the scripts use pg_ctl. Don't the options for that need to be wrapped in -o, as in '-o "-i"'. It's easy to get that wrong. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
