1. where does the -i go?

   Steve Aras <steve@stevearas.com> — 2001-03-31T18:31:51Z

   I've seen there are multiple ways of doing the -i for postmaster.
   Someone said something like:  Uncomment #PGOPTS= -i  Iv'e also seen it
   in the postmaster call  e.g.  postmaster -i  foo
   
   Do I need to add it to /rc.d/init.d/postgresql in the line below?
    Where?
   
   su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster
   start  >/dev/null 2>&1"

   Hi,
   
   I'd generally do :
   
   su - postgres -c "pg_ctl start -o '-i' > /dev/null 2>&1&"
   
   Making sure the correct environment variables are in the .profile or
   .bashrc start scripts for the postgres user of course.  (Depending on OS
   and default shell for the postgres)
   
   Regards and best wishes,

   su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster
   start  >/dev/null 2>&1"
