Aren't those dead versions of what's now in contrib/start-scripts/ ?

Hi,

I suggest to push the init scripts again into contrib/, for people who
don'u use packaged versions and need init scripts.

We could supply different scripts for different platforms, like the
init scripts of our RPMs, init scripts of Debian, etc.

Any objections?

There are too many versions of too many platforms to have to keep up
with, IMNSHO. Might be a good pgfoundry project, just as the binary
distros are.

cheers

In general yes BUT it seems like a good idea to have:

Linux
FreeBSD
MacOSX
Solaris

As though are the most popular platforms.

Oh... I haven't seen start-scripts :(

Thanks.
