Janio: My experience of various Linux distributions is not very wide. But I'd be surprised if slackware didn't have some variant of the su -c command, which is what I generally use to start postgres from rc.* scripts.
A line like su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data &" usually does it for me. Sorry if this is obvious and I'm missing the point. -- sgl > From: "Janio Rosa da Silva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 01:38:44 -0300 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [ADMIN] PostgreSQL With Slackware > > > I am looking for a way to start PostgreSQL when the computer is turned > on.
