Dear Authors, I was wondering if this email got through, since no-one replied in 6 days..... I guess if no one knows the answer, then it seems right... but I figure I'd ask again.
Is it possible to run pgAgent without pgAdmin III on a linux machine. - - I loaded the pgadmin catalog in the postgres database of the postgresql instance. My next step would be to run pgAgent as a service, but I have no clue how to and if it is at all possible. Any help or leads would be very welcome. Kind regards, Daniel Ettema From: vrboy2...@hotmail.com To: pgadmin-support@postgresql.org Subject: Using pgAgent w/o pgAdmin3 on linux Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 12:37:28 +0000 Dear all, our company bought some software which uses a 3rd party postgresql 8.3.8 on linux Centos 5.6 We want to use pgAgent to extend some functionality in the database. Now, obviously don't need a GUI, so I figured I don't need to install pgAdmin3. I downloaded: pgAgent-3.0.0-Linux.tar.gz I got to the point where I am trying to run the service pgAgent wirth a startup script and installed pgAgent catalog in the postgres database of the postgresql instance. When trying to run the service I get: Starting PgAgent: pgagent: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED] I am using a startup script from postgresonline.com: http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/86-Yum-addendum-for-8.3.5-and-PgAgent.html So I dont have a postgresql instance installed as you would do with yum install. I dont have pgAdmin installed and can't seem to find it in the default repositories: yum list pg* comes out blank. I downloaded and tried to install: pgadmin3-1.8.4-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm but it is complaining: error: Failed dependencies: libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0()( etc etc I have considered adding the libs one by one as you progress, but i want to have a nice and clean solution :) Thanks in advance. With kind regards, Daniel
