Re: PostgreSQL With Slackware

Janio:

My experience of various Linux distributions is not very wide. But I'd be
surprised if slackware didn't have some variant of the su -c command, which
is what I generally use to start postgres from rc.* scripts.

A line like

su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data &"

usually does it for me.

Sorry if this is obvious and I'm missing the point.
