Thread: Can i run pg_ctl under Administrator account ?

Using Windows Xp I want to start pg_ctl as administrator.
Reason for that I'm using Apache Tomcat and I can't seem to start that
without Administrator privilges.
Can someone tell me how do that ?

Regards,
Steven

1. Can you not use "runas"?
2. I thought this was dealt with in 8.2 and PG now drops privileges on
startup?

Make sure you use 8.2 and it should work just fine.
