Don't start PostgreSQL with the 'postgres' command. That's the name of the actual server process. You want to use the control script, normally named pg_ctl. You call it like this: pg_ctl -D $PGDATA start Stop it like this: pg_ctl -D $PGDATA stop ______________________________________________ See http://www.peak6.com/email_disclaimer/ for terms and conditions related to this email -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
