Im running postgres on OS X 10.4.2. Im having a problem starting
postgres though... but its maybe something dumb im doing...
So i su -l postgres and cd to my /opt/local/bin where postmaster is...
But i always get a:
-su: postmaster: command not found
Its there. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

On most Unixen, "." is not in the default PATH, for pretty good security
reasons. You can either say "./postmaster ...", or forget the "cd" and
just do "/opt/local/bin/postmaster ...".
