Obviously I was thinking in something else when I wrote that, because what I wanted to say but failed, was that I suggested that the RPM hackers could *add* such a thing to the initscript -- not that it already existed :-) Hum, I must be still thinking in something else because I'm failing to write the above paragraph in a coherent manner (rewrote it twice already). I hope you understand it anyway :-) > Oh, and the place you put stuff like that on RH/FC systems is /etc/sysconfig Yeah, that one :-) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
