I just compiled and installed postgresql from the cvs (upgraded from 7.1beta5
becuase of some problems I had), followed the steps, and the database server
works great, but my startup scripts don't work anymore.
What the script has, works if I try to do it as postgres, but with a
su -l postgres -c 'command' as root it doesn't work.
This is the script (on Solaris 7):

#!/bin/bash
# postgresql This is the init script for starting up the PostgreSQL
# server
#
# chkconfig: 345 85 15
# description: Starts and stops the PostgreSQL backend daemon that handles \
# all database requests.
# processname: postmaster
#

# This script is slightly unusual in that the name of the daemon (postmaster)
# is not the same as the name of the subsystem (postgresql)

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting postgresql service: "
su -l postgres -c '/dbs/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -o "-i" -D /dbs/postgres/data/
start -l /dbs/postgres/sql.log'
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping postgresql service: "
su -l postgres -c '/dbs/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -m i -D /dbs/postgres/data stop'
echo
;;
status)
su -l postgres -c '/dbs/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -D /dbs/postgres/data/ status'
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 10
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: postgresql {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

System Administration: It's a dirty job,
but someone told me I had to do it.
