Re: Error when I try to run initdb under cygwin. Plz help me...

Hi Flavio,

Postmaster doesn't detach itself from stdin/stdout. You want to use pg_ctl, which will start you the postmaster in the background.

About the shmdt error which you get -- I have no idea how harmful it is! Sorry, but I can't help you there.

regards,

--Tim

Tim... thanx... it works...
but now I have other problem that maybe you can help again...

after run 'postmaster -D /var/psql' the first messsage is:

LOG: shmdt(0x846e0000) failed: Invalid argument

after that others messages come, until "LOG: database system is ready"
but seems that the process do not finish yet, 'cause the cursor do not
appears in screen..

I must run posmaster with '&' ??
the first message (error) is real problem ?
why the process do not finish? I must open other cygwin bash sheel ??

thanx
