I'd start by figuring out where that packaging causes the postmaster to write its log file, and having a look in the log file. Hopefully there is some documentation included with the homebrew PG package that explains that. But if not, perhaps a look into the launch-agent script mentioned above would tell you. Look for something like a -l argument to pg_ctl, or a redirection of stderr into a file. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
