Start pgagent with the -f option. It seems that fork without exec doesn't play nicely in Leopard. You need -f anyway, when starting using launchd, as launchd process shouldn't fork/exec as launchd can think they've died and restart. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
