1.2 Starting and Stopping
start
(su - postgres)
VIA SOCKET:
# /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
VIA PORT:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -p 5432 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
stop (as user postgres)
/usr/bin/pg_ctl stop -D $PGDATA -s -m fast
Out-of-the-box RedHat Style
If you'd like to run PostgreSQL via Socket, you had to add the -i argument within the
start script.
Original
su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o '-p ${PGPORT}' start >/dev/null 2>&1" </dev/null
Running via Socket
su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o '-i -p ${PGPORT}' start >/dev/null 2>&1" </dev/null
