I posted a topic in general but I was told to post it here I need to be able to run pgagent on a mac the problem we are having is getting a daemon to run on a mac if anyone can help please tell me were I can get a daemon to run on the mac we have tried the unix daemon but cannot get that to install as it requires god knows what modules to install it says it needs widgetwx problem is we install it and it is the wrong version or something neither I nor the other guy are any good with a mac or how to install modules can someone give us step by step instructions or at least tell us specifics on how to install a pgagent daemon on a mac to run as it is very important to the business to have several automatic tasks running if not then we will have to use an ugly work around using trigger that neither of us really want to do i do understand pgadmin is only new for a mac since 8.1 i believe i am not sure but even still it should support one of its main systems regards Kelvan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
