Re: Trying to auto start Postgres when server boots up

This might be trivial, but, shouldn't you su to the user(postgres or
whatever you used) that's supposed to run the postmaster?

Subject: [GENERAL] Trying to auto start Postgres when server boots up

Hi,

I am using PostgreSQL 7.4.7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

I want to start the Postgres Postmaster automatically when the server boots
up.
I have tried putting the command
"/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l
/usr/local/pgsql/data/server.log start"
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file but when the server boots up it gets
stuck at the point "Enabling swap space [OK]".
Usually the Red Hat desktop would come up but it doesn't.

Any ideas?
