Re: I am now Linux and PostgreSQL user, have a question

I read some docunment say that to start the postgres service must type this
command

/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres start

but I do have not that file. do I missing something??

in other way, my I do any other thing in service side? it is because after
showing "DEBUG: database system is in production state", I am not at
'postgres @ vtl>'mode, so, I cannot type any command.
