HowTo start Postgre sql daemon
 
How do I get the postgre sql server (daemon) up at bootup?
what is a documentation disk?

What distro are you using? You can try doing:

chkconfig --levels 35 postgresqld on

I think its 'postgresqld'. Do:

chkconfig --list | grep postgre

to see exactly what the service is called.

If you have the GUI (in the latest releases of Linux (Redhat, Mandrake, SUse) Try going to services options and enabling it.

Or try editing the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd
and there will be entries for bunch of daemans, add one for the pgsql and turn it on.

you can start manually by

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pgsql start

Although this will start the postgresql service it will not be configured to start at boot up.

That's how I do it on my Slackware 8.1 boxes...

Code:
Taken from my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/bin/su - postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -l home/postgres/logfile -D /usr/local/pgsql/data&
Cheers,
Tink
