how to start postmaster at system boot on linux?

Hi! This question has probably been answered before, but here is my
suggestion ( more or less copy&paste from the pg rpm):

(in attach)

Copy the file to /etc/rc.d/init.d and then proceed with normal config of
SysV runlevels to start it on, for example, runlevel 3.
(you can use control-panel to get there or you can do it manually, look at
other examples in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d ...they are sym links...).

In the update scritpt, you should do some cleanning (ie: vaccum).

please can anyone tell me which files i have to change step by step.

Create an entry in your /etc/rc3.d directory consisting of a symbolic
link to a startup script that you create for this purpose. Mine just
consists of a line

/bin/su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -S -i -D
/local/db0"

that simple...
