Re: documentation udpates to pgupgrade.html

Bruce,

To query for Postgresql services on Windows use:

sc query type= service | find "postgresql"


On my machine this yields:

SERVICE_NAME: postgresql-9.0
DISPLAY_NAME: postgresql-9.0 - PostgreSQL Server 9.0


NB the space after type= is very important, don't ask me why...



I prefer to use 'sc start <servicename>' and 'sc stop <servicename>',
then you can use one tool for everything.

The following shows these commands (and the query command) in action.


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sc stop postgresql-9.0

SERVICE_NAME: postgresql-9.0
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 3  STOP_PENDING
                                (STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x2
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x2710

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sc start postgresql-9.0

SERVICE_NAME: postgresql-9.0
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 2  START_PENDING
                                (NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN))

        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x7d0
        PID                : 3732
        FLAGS              :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sc query postgresql-9.0

SERVICE_NAME: postgresql-9.0
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0



Hope this isn't too much info and answers all your questions :-)
