The confusion occurs because not all binaries installed by postgres packages are available via /usr/bin and wrappers. i.e. pgbench, pg_archivecleanup, pg_upgrade, initdb and several others are not available via /usr/bin and they should not be defined as low level. Having *all* binaries installed by a postgres package accessible via /usr/bin and wrappers would make live easier for many users. regards, - -- Rafael Martinez Guerrero Center for Information Technology University of Oslo, Norway PGP Public Key: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlEnXrUACgkQBhuKQurGihRk/ACfZdx4LkqDx5oMMJB6zvyNsY1w 3IsAn3Wkq2+1cpTTQCni4aN7sMJMc03n =jXN7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
