The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3502 Logged by: Marc Frappier Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2.4 Operating system: windows XP Description: pg_ctl register translates \ to / Details:
I'm creating a windows service using the following command "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\pg_ctl.exe" register -N "pgsql-8.2-test" -U bdpostgres -P "xx" -D "C:\data" The created service is defined using / instead of \; hence it does not work when I try to start it. Here is the command executed by the generated service C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/bin/pg_ctl.exe runservice -N "pgsql-8.2-test" -D "C:/data" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
