Hello Postgres-General users I currently am upgrading from PostgreSQL 7.3.4-RH to PostgreSQL 8.1.5. Everything fine so far: have installed 8.1.5 into /usr/local/pgsql, of course, and am running 8.1.5 on port 5433, while still running 7.3.4 (in /var/lib/... and /usr/bin/pg...) Then (also, without issue): pg_dumpall -p 5432 | psql -d postgres -p 5433 and the data migration went smoothly. In fact, the only thing I cannot find is a recent copy (for 8.1.5 located in /usr/local/pgsql) of an init.d startup script for the postgres, equivalent to the currently running /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql (which is about 250 lines of shell). Rather than go in and hack it (though, in principle, this should only involve setting some executable location env vars), and since aspects of the various postgres configuration issues and files may have changed betw. versions 7 and 8, I am hoping that there is an equivalent upgraded init.d/postgresql startup/shutdown script available for the postgres 8.1 tree. Please point me to this, as I could not find it by Googling around a bit, nor did I see it on the postgres.org site. Thanks Maurice Yarrow
