First time installer !!
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
Ok folks, I have successfully installed Postgresql 7.3.1. in my Debian
Potato running on a P133. Actually, it was easier than what I expected.
All the necessary steps for the installation are outlined in the INSTALL
file.
<br>There is one question I have for which I could not find an answer in
this file though, what do I do to make Postgresql sever to start
at boot time while at the same time kill in it at shutdown time?
<p>Thanks in advance.

I don't run potato, but in the testing distro it seems to put a link in the
/etc/rc2.d/ to an init script in /etc/init.d/
If it doesn't, you can probably set one up yourself using pg_ctl (which is
probably in/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/).
Good luck with postgres!

PostgreSQL 7.2 was just released this week. 7.1.3 is the previous
version. 7.3.1 is in the future.

If you're running Debian, there's no need to do a source install. Oliver
Elphick's debian packages work great. You can find Postgresql 7.1.3
packages in the unstable group.

If you install a Debian package, stopping at shutdown is taken care of
by the packaging. This involves creating K... entries in /etc/rc[016].d
which are run at shutdown time.
If you need to do this for your own locally built package, Debian
provides the command update-rc.d. Check its man page for details.
