I'm not planning on repeating myself either, but: a database *monitoring* tool, as opposed to a vanilla client, needs to know whether the database is in fact up. Autostarting the DB in response to a monitoring probe is the wrong behavior for that. I do not really care whether you believe that that's a problem or not; it is in my eyes, and as the responsible engineer, I'm not going to produce a broken database package. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
