Hey folks,
Unfortunately, a lightning strike last evening caused a momentary
power flicker and my Redhat 4.2 Linux machine was bumped off line for a
minute or two. It was my "home" box that is only on about 10 minutes a
day and it didn't have a UPS, which is dumb. For some reason, postgres
no longer auto starts on boot anymore.
I had configured my /etc/inittab file to autostart it using
pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster
-D/usr/local/pgsql/data >> /usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1" /dev/null
One a single line. It does not start, and after about 10 tries
to respawn it stops because of a "respawn too fast" error. If I try to
start it using
nohup postmaster > server.log 2>&1 &
while logged into the postgres account, it also fails. Unfortunately, I
am not at home and don't have the actual error message, so I was
wondering if anyone else has had this problem with a forced shutdown. It
had been working beautifully for about two weeks now, with several
halt/restart sequences.
I would appreciate any insight.
Thanks to all,
Jason
