Starting the Server at Boot

I tried to check the archives but I couldn't find a way to search...

TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives?

http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl

Tried to configure <your data dir>/pg_hba.conf

?

Anyway, I want to start my Postgres server at boot (7.1). I tried the script
that came with it and it doesn't work. It seems to start the server but it
doesn't accept connections (yes, the -i option is on)... Is there a trick?

Enable it in the postgresql.conf file. (The -i option should work.
Odd...)

Perhaps the reason that -i didn't work is that the scripts use pg_ctl.
Don't the options for that need to be wrapped in -o, as in '-o "-i"'.
It's easy to get that wrong.
