The same way you add any other service in Ubuntu :) To add a service, use
update-rc.d <servicename> defaults In your case, it sounds like your servicename is postgresql, so you'd have update-rc.d postgresql defaults Try this URL: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "johnf" <jfabi...@yolo.com> To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 6:25:22 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [GENERAL] ubuntu 9.04 and auto-start Hi, I have installed postgres 8.3 and it runs if I manually start postgres. That is to say I '/etc/init.d/postgresql start' as root. Runs perfectly. But if I restart the computer postgres does not auto-start. I've done a little research but did not see anything that jumped off the page to tell me how to get postgres to auto-start. On openSUSE there is a utility under YAST that allows the user to check postgres to auto-start. I can't find the same in Ubuntu 9.04. So how do I auto-start Postgres on Ubuntu 9.04? -- John Fabiani -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
