Hi,

root is not allowed to start the postmaster. You should try something
like su - <database-user> -c "postmaster -i &" instead (by replacing
with the correct database user on Your system), but there are different
su versions. Have a look into the manpage first to figure out the
correct command line.

Dear sir,
I am using Redhat Linux 6.2 and postgresql 7.0.
I want to auto-run "postmaster -i &" after booting
the Linux. I write a shell script in /etc/rc.d/rc4.d
so that it would be run after start up.
"----------------
#!/bin/sh
postmaster -i &
----------------"
However, I know postmaster cannot be run by "root"
but "postgres".
What can I do, how to modify the code so that the
script can be run by postgres?
Please help!!!
Thank you.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
