My init.d script has the following: # Set defaults for configuration variables PGENGINE=/usr/bin PGPORT=5432 PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log # Override defaults from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql if file is present [ -f /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} ] && . /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} In this case you can create as many configs as you need, for example: /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql: PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data PGPORT=5432 PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log PGOPTS='--config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf' /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql2: PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql2/data PGPORT=54320 PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql2/pgstartup.log PGOPTS='--config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf' and create /etc/init.d/postgresql2 as symlink to /etc/init.d/postgresql -- Ondrej Ivanic (ondrej.ivanic@xxxxxxxxx) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
