I have just installed OpenBSD 6.0 with the postgresql package (pg 9.5.3) Section 17.3 of the postgresql documentation gives a recommended startup script for OpenBSD to be put into /etc/rc.local The path is incorrect for pg_ctl and postgres. These are located in /usr/local/bin and not /usr/local/pgsql/bin as given. Naturally this does not allow postgresql to start at boot. Also I used '-l logfile' which will write into the postgres user home directory as the /var/postgresql directory shown, although present, would have to have permissions or ownership changed to allow a write (I did not pursue that but dmesg clearly shows an error). Else the documentation is as always a great help.

Well, /usr/local/pgsql/bin *is* where they're installed if you build PG from source without modifications. The OpenBSD packager evidently changed that to conform with local custom, which is entirely reasonable --- many other platforms change the install location too. But we can't document what other people do. It's the responsibility of the platform packager to provide documentation saying what they changed. Most packagers also provide suitably customized startup scripts ... did you check? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
