Re: Postgres: Installing as a service

[CM J <postgres.newbie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

     The following cmd can be used for installating postgres as a service:

pg_ctl.exe register -N <servicename> -U <user> -P <password> -D <datadir>

      and "pgctl.exe unregister -N <servicename>" can be used to uninstall.

Thanks.

You can use the `net' command to start/stop services. I don't recall the
command(s) used to install them, if any, but you'll be able to find the
info on MSDN.

No.

Why not use the MSI installer's silent mode?
