Thread: How do I pass the -i option during boot time?

How do I pass the -i option during boot time?

Hi.

I Upgraded to version 7.1.3 on my RH7.1 and it seems that this version
of postgresql doesn't have network activeated by default. Ho do I
specify to the postmaster that it must start with the -i option through
the /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql script.
Do I have to set something in the config files in /var/lib/pgsql/data?

Thanks

Good Morning,
here's what i had to do to get it to work, it's using the -o option
so the line in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql looks like:

su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start -o -i > /dev/null 2>&1" <
/dev/null

hope it helps
corey

Just edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.opts, add the '-i'. Done.

I think it's better to instead set 'tcpip_socket = true' in
postgresql.conf.
