Hi all,
Second question today on re-starting! I use a psotgres database on an RH7.2
server, it installed a postgresql script in /etc/rc.d/init.d however when I
run it there is no output and nothing happens, the prompt simply displays on
the next line on the screen. There are no entries in the logs that I can
find and postgres does not stop\start\restart. The script seems OK to me and
is 755 owned by root and in the root group (same as all the other files in
init.d). Have included the script below, so aplogise for the lenght of this
email, but if anyone has a spare minute to cast an eye over it and tell meif
there is anything wrong with it I would appreciate it. I have tried running
the script as root and as postgres.
Cheers
