8.45.1 on mac - Plist problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
  Using a MacBook Pro.  Snow Leopard installed along with XCode

  I have 8.4.1 compiled from tar.gz.  It lives in
/usr/local/postgresql-8.4.1 which is owned by root.  the data
subdirectory is owned by postgres.  A link exists from
/usr/local/postgres to postgresql-8.4.1.

  PGDATA is /usr/local/postgres/data

  I can run okay with /usr/local/postgres/bin/postmaster -D ${PGDATA}

  I have tried to copy/build/modify a plist to start up automatically.
 The file below is named org.postgres.launchd.plist and it is in
/Library/LaunchDaemons.  I have fashioned it after dBEnterprises'.

file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
        "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Disabled</key>
      <false/>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.postgres.launchd</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>/usr/local/postgres-8.4.1/bin/postmaster</string>
        <string>-D</string>
	<string>/usr/local/postgresql-8.4.1/bin</string>
      </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
      <true/>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>postgres</string>
</dict>
</plist>

after saving, I
  launchctl load /Library/LaunchDarmons/org.postgres.launchd.plist
then
  launchctl list | grep postgres returns
     2   org.postgres.launchd

but when I
  launchctl start org.postgres.launchd
Nothing happens.  ps ax |grep postmaster does not show
postmaster running.

Any ideas or assistance is greatfully appreciated.

Bob
