Re: Regarding start postgresql startservice

I use the /etc/init.d/postgresql
{start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|condstop|reload|force-reload} command
on my Linux boxes and it works great.

I recently installed PG on a couple Solaris boxes and found that the install
did not come with the above command so I use pg_ctl as Marcus mentions. My
question, has anyone tried using the Linux /etc/init.d/postgresql script on
Solaris? If so, what were the results? I haven't tried it yet myself but
if I do and get it to work I'll post the result back to the list.

It will be helpful if you tell us what OS you are using :)

Linux
/etc/init.d/postgres start
/etc/rc.d/postgres start
It will initialized the database @ /var/lib/pgsql/data or
/usr/local/pgsql depending on the distro.
Or do man pg_ctl or man postmaster
