RE:

I remember you too. Long time no post. Perth is a lovely place and all,
but it can't beat this list. ;-)

I *did* do it as a pair, and I absolutely positively detest Outlook's
meddling ways. I type in a lowercase I and - damn! There it goes again!
Autocorrect! ARGH!

In the end, I gave up on that and modified the conf file. I should have
looked at that first but I figured I *could* do it using the init.d
script, so why not? The only way I learn sometimes is by doing things
the hard way. In this case, I learnt to edit the conf file and avoid the
script. ;-)

Thanks to Daryl, Jarrod and Steve!

* Either ' or \" should have worked.  You did do it as a pair, 
* didn't you? i.e. :
* 
* su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o 
* \"-I -p 5432\" -p /usr/bin/postmaster start  > /dev/null 
* 2>&1" < /dev/null
* 
* -or-
* 
* su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -o 
* '-I -p 5432' -p /usr/bin/postmaster start  > /dev/null 2>&1" 
* < /dev/null
* 
* Having said that, is -I the correct option?  I'm unsure which 
* version of Postgres you're using, but for 7.1.3 it looks like 
* "-i" to enable TCP operation (after also modifying the 
* pg_hba.conf file).
