The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4875 Logged by: Armin Jenewein Email address: jenew...@googlemail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.1.11 Operating system: CentOS 5.3 Description: /etc/init.d/postgresql status shows postmaster is stopped when executed as user Details:
When i run "/etc/init.d/postgresql status" as a non-root user, it shows "postmaster is stopped" while it actually is running. If i run it as root it reports correctly. I was able to reproduce this on several CentOS 5.3 machines. The exactly same init script with the same postgres version (8.1.11) on CentOS 4.4 makes no problems at all. Also, i wasn't able to reproduce this on any Debian/Ubuntu machine. Tho i don't think a user should play around with init scripts, the output should NEVER lie to a user, be it a root user or not.
