Re: [BUGS] can't startup PG-8.0.3

Hello ! Tom Lane wrote: I have a command su - pgsql -c '/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -d 5 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data' Shouldn't there be an & or something in there? Seems like that will leave the su command blocked waiting for the postmaster to exit, which of course it should not. I try to use &, this did not help. I even tries to use ktrace(1) : ktrace su - pgsql -c '/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -d 5 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data' That won't tell you anything --- the trace will only trace what "su" does. Better to su to pgsql and ktrace the postmaster directly. Yes, you're right. The ktrace dump for postmaster process: su - pgsql -c 'ktrace /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -d 5 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data' : ...  86611 postgres RET   write 44/0x2c  86611 postgres CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfd5a8,0)  86611 postgres RET   gettimeofday 0  86611 postgres CALL  getpid  86611 postgres RET   getpid 86611/0x15253  86611 postgres CALL  sendto(0x5,0xbfbfda80,0x60,0,0,0)  86611 postgres GIO   fd 5 wrote 96 bytes        "<135>Jun 27 11:02:02 postgres[86611]: [569-1] %DEBUG:  -----------------------------------------"  86611 postgres RET   sendto 96/0x60  86611 postgres CALL  write(0x2,0x82eb128,0x33)  86611 postgres GIO   fd 2 wrote 51 bytes        "%DEBUG:  -----------------------------------------        "  86611 postgres RET   write 51/0x33  86611 postgres CALL  fork  86611 postgres RET   fork 86612/0x15254  86611 postgres CALL  exit(0) I'll keep try to startup PostgreSQL 8.0.3...  Thanks -- Ruslan A Dautkhanov
