Hello All, I’ve faced with the following problem: I’m trying to implement the auto start of postgres. My way is to use inittab: pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D/usr/local/pgsql/data >> /usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1" /dev/null But this approach does not work as I wished in case of the postmaster process dies - it can not be restarted until all child processes are stopped. And I have to do it manually. Is there any way to implement autostart of postgres after the postmaster process dies? Probably there is a configuration if the postmaster process dies all child processes are killed? But I can find nothing like this in documentation. Or maybe there is another solution to implement auto start of postgres? Any help are very appreciated. Also I’ve read about a patch of Peter Geoghegan regarding the waking on postmaster death functionality: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-05/msg01196.phphttp://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2011-06/msg00016.phpWill this patch be included in any release? If yes then when it is planned? I’m using the PostgreSQL 9.0.4 version.Thanks in advance, Irina |
