The postgresql package has some suggestions. I use: /etc/rc.local echo -n ' postgresql' su -l _postgresql -c "nohup /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/postgresql/data" /etc/rc.shutdown echo -n ' postgresql ' su -l _postgresql -c "/usr/local/bin/pg_ctl stop -m fast -D /var/postgresql/data" rm -f /var/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock echo
