Thread: [Fwd: postgres 7.3.1 init script error]
Hi guys,
Does anyone feel like updating the Solaris startup script (was for PG
7.3.1) on the techdocs site?
Regards and best wishes,

Justin,
The /etc/init.d/postgresql start script under Solaris fails to start
postgres at all because the pgrep matches the init script!
The lines with "pgrep postgres" return the PID of the init script
because pgrep under solaris without any options will return a simple
grep of ps (effectively), thus matching postgresql of the init script.
What you actually need is "pgrep -x postgres" which will only match
processes with an executable exactly matching "postgres".
I couldnt actually get the start script to work (on the default pkgadd
install) until I made that change. Just a heads up if you want to fix it.
Cheers,
Adrian
I can put it on my TODO list... out of curiosity, is this script in the
servers CVS ?

I meant the CVS of PostgreSQL proper... we have scripts for linux, mac osx , etc... wondered if this one is distributed with the actual application code.

No, not to my knowledge. Possibly it should go into contrib/start-scripts,
but it's not there now.

Don't seem to have ever gotten around to it, though it probably would have been good to. :( Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > regards, tom lane -- Executive Director Digital Distribution Global Training Services Pty.
