Thread: Postgres server startup
Hi,
When logged in as administrator, i start the postgres server with the following command:
runas /user:postgres "D:\postgres_new\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D D:\postgres_new\pgsql\data"
The problem is "runas" cmd is not script friendly as i can not pass the password as a cmd line argument.Is there any way i can start the postgres server using pg_ctl.exe while logged in as administrator without using "runas" ??
Thanks!

NET START PGSQL_8.3
