Thread: I would preffer that postgresql start with the flag -i

I would preffer that postgresql start with the flag -i

I would like very much that when the server start also the postmaster start

I did look on the file  - /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql  - but, I don't know
where to add the flag -i.
Rather than try an error, I would prefer to added the -i right first time.
Any body there has done this? If so I would be very happy to know how.

Dear Gustavo:

I am using Redhat 7.2, I modified postgresql like this in function
start()

        # Check for postmaster already running...
        pid=`pidof -s postmaster`
        if [ $pid ]
        then
                echo $"Postmaster already running."
        else             #all systems go -- remove any stale lock files
              rm -f /tmp/.s.PGSQL.* > /dev/null
              echo -n "$PSQL_START"
         su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -o "-i" -D $PGDATA

its working fine ...

regards,

Edit $DATADIR/postgresql.conf and set tcpip_socket to 'true'.

Edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf, uncomment the line with
tcpip_socket, and change the value to true.  Restart.  Adding -i in the
startup script is unnecessary.
