Re: [GENERAL] Startup Script

Dear all,

My system is SuSE 6.2, postgresql 6.5.2 and pentium III 500.

I have a problem with postmaster respawning too fast.

I followed the installation guide of postgresql 6.5.2 in file INSTALL.
On section 21, "Run postmaster in the background from your ...",
I followed the last method.

* In RedHat Linux edit file /etc/inittab to add the floowing as a single
line:
pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster"
-D /usr/local/pgsql/data >> /usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1 <
/dev/null"

I see a lot of this messages on my /var/log/messages:

I have about 1271 messages like this until today, 13 Oct 1999.
It seems to happen every 5 minutes.
What is happening?
Could someone tell me what have I done wrong?
