With linux that's easy to do with sysctl -a|grep shm to get a list, and then copy and paste with changes to /etc/sysctl.conf. Look them up on the google, or in our docs, some good examples both places. Note that anytime the postmaster doesn't startup it tries to log it somewhere. Look for postmaster logs and such. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
