Topic: Starting PostgreSQL at boot

[Andreas]

I've installed PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on my e-smith server and has it configured and running by starting it manually. It installed a start-up script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
How do I get PostgreSQL to start automatically at boot-time the "e-smith way" (by using templates etc...)?

You need it to start the script with e-smith which is at run level 7.

So for example in /etc/rc.d/rc.6 so you will proabaly see a soft link to the /etc/rc.d/init.d Postgres script.

instead -

Make a softlink from /etc/rc.d/rc.7 directory to the init.d startup script and it will start automatically with e-smith.

Thanks a lot! Works great, always good when there is no need to make templates etc!
