Use whatever startup script comes with the pacakge for your OS. I.e. in redhat or suse you should have a postgresql script that lives in /etc/init.d/ that gets symlinked to the appropriate /etc/rc.d/rcx.d directory. > v8.2.0 on suse64 You should really be running at least 8.2.4, preferable 8.2.5. 8.2.0 has some nasty bugs. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
