Re: initdb...

YES!! I think I've figured it out! In the "db-start" script, I've replaced
this line:

postmaster -i -D /var/postgresql/data &

With this line (that Mike G suggested):

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /var/postgresql/data >logfile 2>&1 &

And I got the following result:

[2] 459255
$ps -f
UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND
Daniel S 882779 1 con 16:24:21 /usr/bin/BASH
Daniel S 177286207 882779 con 16:27:21 /USR/SBIN/CYGSERVER
Daniel S 465255 882779 con 16:31:08 /usr/bin/PS
[2]+ Exit 127 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /var/postgresql/data
>logfile 2>&1
$

Does this mean that it's working???

Please let me know.

Thanks once again.

Dan

hi dan,

what i forgot to say:
if you really type in one command after the other (so as to learn what's
going on), then - instead of typing in "./db-stop" - you have to type in
all commands from my "db-stop"-script-lines.

but then the "kill..."-line won't work! instead just type in "ps -f",
then you get the list of all processes running at the moment, remember
the process-number of cygserver (very left coloumn of ps - output) and
then type in: "kill <process-number>" (e.g. kill 3024). this makes a
shutdown of cygserver.

hope that helps!
