Thank you Thomas. I've tried it but get a few syntax errors. I have postgresql 8.0.1 installed and have moved it to /var/lib/pgsql to mimic Linux so I need to edit the file some more. I'll let you know how it works.
Thanks,
Tim

I have a rather old one, which originally started and stopped a 6.5.2
postgres on Solaris 5.6 . Now it does its job on 7.4 and Solaris 10.
