The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1425 Logged by: Jonathan Pool Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.0 Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Description: False failure message on boot start Details:
When /etc/init.d/postgresql (as included in the RPM version of 8.0.0) starts PostgreSQL as part of the host's boot sequence, it performs the -f test on the PID file $PGDATA/postmaster.pid and tests whether the process has a PID. The PID test passes, but the PID file test fails, despite the fact that the PID file actually exists. So, the script reports a failure, showing up as "FAILURE" in red instead of "[ OK ]" in green on the console. If this script is run manually with a "restart" argument after the boot, the PID file test passes. I expected the PID file test to pass during the boot sequence, just as it does during manual execution of the script, and thus to get an "[ OK ]" report. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
