Re: how to auto start "postmaster"?

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.

Greetings!
