Thanks for the quick response. Just as nit-pick the
./contrib/README lists ./contirb/init.d as a starting/stopping script as
for 'non-Linux' systems.... Uh... I meant it as non-distribution specific,
but still probably linux specific. Though it is so general that any unix
system that has bash (might even world under sh, never tested) that uses
init.d style scripts should work. Maybe state it as a 'generic unix
init.d script for starting/stopping pgsql....'? Thanks.
