Thread: Init script

Anyone can provide the init script (that resides in /etc/rc.d/ini.t) for
Postgresql-8.0.3? it's installed in /usr/local/pgsql

Thanks

Marc

Can't you find the one from your RPM?

This one works for us ....

#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop/restart postgresql.
#
# To start PostgreSQL automatically at boot, be sure this script is
executable:
# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.postgres

# --> Before you can run PostgreSQL, you must have a database.  Use initd.
#
# Note that step one is becoming the 'postgres' user. It's important to do
this
# before making any changes to the database, or postgres won't be able to
write
# to it later

# Set up variables
PGROOT=/usr/local/pgsql
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
PGUSER=postgres
PGLOG="$PGDATA/postgres.log"
PGDAEMON="$PGROOT/bin/postmaster"
PGCTL="$PGROOT/bin/pg_ctl"

if echo '\c' | grep -s c >/dev/null 2>%1; then
  ECHO_N="echo -n"
  ECHO_C=""
else
  ECHO_N="echo"
  ECHO_C='\c'
fi

set -e

# Start postgresql:
postgresql_start() {
  $ECHO_N "Starting PostgreSQL: "$ECHO_C
  su - $PGUSER -c "$PGDAEMON -D '$PGDATA' &" >>$PGLOG 2>&1
  echo "ok"
}

# Stop postgresql:
postgresql_stop() {
  $ECHO_N "Stopping PostgreSQL: "$ECHO_C
  su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL stop -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast" >>$PGLOG 2>&1
  echo "ok"
}

# Restart postgreSQL:
postgresql_restart() {
  $ECHO_N "Restarting PostgreSQL: "$ECHO_C
  su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL stop -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast" >>$PGLOG 2>&1
  echo "ok"
  su - $PGUSER -c "$PGDAEMON -D '$PGDATA' &" >>$PGLOG 2>&1
  echo "ok"
}

case "$1" in
  'start')
  postgresql_start
  ;;
  'stop')
  postgresql_stop
  ;;
  'restart')
  postgresql_restart
  ;;
  *)
  echo "Usage $0 {start|stop|restart}" 1>&2
  exit 1
  ;;
esac
exit 0

TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

I downloaded and installed from a TARBALL, not RPM

Init script is present in contrib/start-scripts/

copy "linux" file from there to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory
