Thread: How to Install Postgres 8.3 in Solaris 10 as a service
Dear all members,
I have been working on postgres (windows), for last 8 months. Recently, a client requrement requires me to install postgres in solaris 10. What I did is this. Untar the deliverables from postgresql.org website, for correct version. Open a command window and write necessary commands to run it. If I want to close postgres, I have to close previously opened window and then do the comand writing task again. And If somebody wants to close or restart the postgres server, he/she have to come physically to the server(in some case remote is not possible). Is it possible to run postgres as a service, in Solaris 10 (64 bit) also, like windows. Waiting for positive reply.
Regards
Anirban Pal

On solaris (like most unixen), services are controlled with init scripts. read the following article for a general overview: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1359 merlin
