Hi All; I've got a development box that I use for a bunch of other purposes(mostly music), and I was wondering if there was a way to configure launchd to only start up postgres when it's needed. SSH does the same thing so I've tried to fashion a plist for this purpose modeled after that(on my box it's located at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist) but something is wrong. PGAdmin 3 errors out when I try to connect.
Below is my nonworking plist. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? thanks Mike Kohout Fender-2:LaunchDaemons development$ cat ondemand.postgres8.4.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" " http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>ondemand.postgres8.4</string> <key>UserName</key> <string>development</string> <key>KeepAlive</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Users/development/Applications/postgres-8.4.1/bin/pg_ctl</string> <string>start</string> <string>-D</string> <string>/Users/development/Documents/postgres_data</string> </array> <key>ServiceDescription</key> <string>Postgresql Server</string> <key>Sockets</key> <dict> <key>Listeners</key> <dict> <key>SockServiceName</key> <string>postgresql</string> </dict> </dict> <key>inetdCompatibility</key> <dict><key>Wait</key><true/></dict> </dict> </plist>
