The init script is in the process of being overhauled. This bug will be closed when that work is completed. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030708 Description of problem: The startup script for postgresql does the following unfortunate (stupid) thing: # Find the name of the script NAME=`basename $0` [...] # Override defaults from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql if file is present [ -f /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} ] && . /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME} Which means that restarting my database engine with /sbin/service postgresql restart reads /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql Regular Startup on boot reads /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/S85postgresql and shutdown of the same engine (!) reads /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/K15postgresql as configuration files for the postgresql engine. This is ridiculous. Whoever wrote that script should be shot. This might work under BSD where you always reference the script by the same name but blindly copying into a SysV startup structure where files are symlinked will not and can not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.3.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run sh -x /etc/init.d/postgresql start / stop 2. Run sh -x /etc/rc2.d/S85postgresql start 3. Run sh -x /etc/rc6.d/K15postgresql stop compare the results. Have an /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql config file and try again. Actual Results: Database does not start on boot up. Database does not start correctly. Database does not shut down on shutdown. Database gets corrupted. Expected Results: Every official way to startup / shutdown the database should use the same configuration files. Additional info:
