How did you install postgresql? If you did so in any of the normal ways you have a service initialization script: /etc/init.d/postgresql To see if you do (as root): -> chkconfig --list postgresql postgresql 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off (You'll get an error if that script is missing!) In your case, I imagine that run-levels 3, 4, and 5 will all be "off". To turn them on: -> chkconfig --level 345 postgresql on Now postgresql will be started automatically on boot. Incidently, running postmaster directly is not the best way to start postgresql - use the "service" script instead: First - *STOP* the current postgresql (however you do that). Then to start it up manually: -> service postgresql start And to stop it manually: -> service postgresql stop to check whether it's running or not: -> service postgresql status Good luck! -- Steve Wampler -- swampler@xxxxxxxx The gods that smiled on your birth are now laughing out loud.
