Dear Authors,

I was wondering if this email got through, since no-one replied in 6 days.....
I guess if no one knows the answer, then it seems right... but I figure I'd ask again.

Is it possible to run pgAgent without pgAdmin III on a linux machine.
-
- I loaded the pgadmin catalog in the postgres database of the postgresql instance.

My next step would be to run pgAgent as a service, but I have no clue how to and if it is at all possible.
Any help or leads would be very welcome.

Kind regards,
Daniel Ettema

Dear all,

our company bought some software which uses a 3rd party postgresql 8.3.8 on linux Centos 5.6
We want to use pgAgent to extend some functionality in the database. Now, obviously don't need a GUI, so I figured I don't need to install pgAdmin3. I downloaded: pgAgent-3.0.0-Linux.tar.gz

I got to the point where I am trying to run the service pgAgent wirth a startup script and installed pgAgent catalog in the postgres database of the postgresql instance. When trying to run the service I get:
Starting PgAgent: pgagent: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAILED]

I am using a startup script from postgresonline.com: http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/86-Yum-addendum-for-8.3.5-and-PgAgent.html

So I dont have a postgresql instance installed as you would do with yum install. I dont have pgAdmin installed and can't seem to find it in the default repositories: yum list pg* comes out blank. I downloaded and tried to install: pgadmin3-1.8.4-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
but it is complaining:
error: Failed dependencies:
libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0()(
etc etc

I have considered adding the libs one by one as you progress, but i want to have a nice and clean solution :)

Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,
Daniel
