hi all,
i've a new install of pgsql8b5 running on OSX 10.3.6.
i can readily start it from the command line with:
sudo -u testuser sh -c "nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -n -i -h 10.0.0.6 -D /var/data/pgsql -c config_file=/etc/pgsql/postgresql.conf </dev/null >>/var/devlogs/postgres.log &"
after which it behaves as i'd expect =)
however, if i place an identical startup string in my OSX's StartupItem for pgsql & reboot, pgsql does not start on boot. immediately after, i can launch ... but not on system start.
i've turned debugging (debug5, i think i got 'em all ...) on, and my "/var/devlogs/postgres.log" after startup only shows:
LOG: logger shutting down DEBUG: proc_exit(0) DEBUG: shmem_exit(0) DEBUG: exit(0)
system & kernel logs show nothing of obvious consequence ...
any suggestions as to how to track down the no-start-on-startup problem?
thx!
richard
