Start up script for Fedora Core 3

Dear all,

We are using Fedora Core 3 in our company, and we installed postgresql
8.0.3 as the database system. I wonder if anybody has the start up
script for this version so we can start postgresql service
automatically after we reboot the server.

If you installed it from rpm then the startup script should already be
there. If you install it from src look
in postgresql-8.0.3/contrib/start-scripts

Hello,

We have Fedora Core 4, but I'm pretty sure it's the same. To start the
service we use

/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start

Now if you want postgresql to start automatically on boot you do:

chkconfig postgresql on

Read the man pages for chkconfig for more details.

Hope this helps.

If you install the RPM distribution of Postgres (which is the way I'd
recommend, on RPM-based platforms), it comes with a suitable init
script.

personally i use something like this on my rc.local:

rm -f /opt/pgsql-8.0.3/dbdata/postmaster.pid
sudo -u pgsql /opt/pgsql-8.0.3/bin/pg_ctl -o -i -D
/opt/pgsql-8.0.3/dbdata/ -l /opt/pgsql-8.0.3/dbdata/logfile start

does the job, but i'm not sure i'd recommend it... ;)

best regards.

Thanks, I found it.
