How do I start the postgreSQL service upon boot?
- by Homunculus Reticulli
I am running PostgreSQL (v 8.4) on Ubuntu 10.0.4.
The PG service currently starts on reboot (after I installed PG on my machine), however, I want the service to use a new data directory.
Currently, after a reboot, I have to:
Stop the currently running PG service
manually type: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -D /my/preffered/data/directory -l /usr/local/pgsql/data/logfile
Which file do I need to edit to ensure that I always have the service using the correct data folder?
