Except running cp /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 /etc/init.d/secondary-9.2 ; service secondary-9.2 initdb; chkconfig secondary-9.2 on I can create a small shell script that does it, but I never got a request for this so far (well, this does not sound like a bad idea, let me see what I can do tonight) > And if you're a beginning DBA / Sysadmin it's one less thing to have > to hassle with, which is why I recommend debian for newer pg dbas who > need to build their own machines. We are going a bit offtopic, but what Debian does is not perfect, either. Last time I checked was it was picking a random (the next available, whatever) port when two versions are installed in parallel. Putting conf files under /etc is also debatable at some point, since it is pretty much in contrast to PostgreSQL docs -- so a newbie would spend some time to find the conf files. See? Life is not that easy on either side. "RHEL is years behind" does not reflect the reality, IMHO. Anyway, I'm a big fan of RHEL, so I may be a bit subjective in here :-) Regards, -- Temporarily using a webmail program. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
