   Well Pat, I tried it this way and still no luck.  I'm beginning to think it
   might be some weird Mandrake thing.  I'm going to try that mailing list for
   help.  Thanks for trying to help.

3. Using KDE to start Postgres

   Frank Hilliard <frankhilliard@home.com> — 2000-10-21T22:24:43Z

   I can get Postgres running by going su postgres, logging in, and then using
   psql. However, what I'd like to do is to use the icon in the KDE menu under
   Debian, Databases, Postgresql. When I do this from my home directory, the
   terminal flashes up and then disappears. What permissions do I have to put in
   place to launch Postgres from my own Linux account?
