Re: Unrecognized service

Hi Adrian,

I don't know the answer to #1. Was that a wildcard search?

As for #2, I should have been more clear, that's not a check that it does
every night. I just ran that check when it seemed to be down. It has been
a long time to since I've worked with it, so I didn't correctly recall that
I needed to look for postgresql-9.2 and not just postgresql. The problem
came up because the nightly process (a Python script that uses psycopg2)
tried to, but couldn't connect to postgresql-9.2 server.

Does that make more sense?
