Today I installed PostgreSQL on my iBook. I used the very good how-to on the Apple site, but it's not complete. It does not describe how to startup (and shutdown) the database automatically. So I wrote a little addition to the page which explains those steps in detail.

Automatically start PostgreSQL at boot
Marc Liyanage also created a startup item to run PostgreSQL as installed by his package installer. It can probably be easily mangled to deal with other installers.

Automatically start PostgreSQL at boot
I recently created an installer package for Postgres, and included a modified version of the Liyanage startupitem. Postgres v8.0.1 (I haven't looked at 8.0.2 yet), and also includes PostGIS extension (for use in MapServer and GRASS). It sets up the postgres user and starts it up.

Automatically start PostgreSQL at boot
Under OS X Tiger Apple has implemented LaunchD for starting Daemons.
Automatically start PostgreSQL at boot
/ This .plist needs to be installed in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ NOT /Library/LaunchDaemons/ This is absolutely wrong. Per Apple's Getting Started with launchd page, only Apple launchd jobs should ever be installed under /System/Library. In fact, /System as a whole is reserved for Apple use, which is why they provide two places for non-Apple app data and configuration: /Library for system-wide data and ~/Library for user-specific data. If the launchd script in question wasn't working in /Library/LaunchDaemons, I expect there was some other problem at work. Check out the Apple doc above for more info and links to other Apple system startup documentation. |
