Tom Lane	19d88c9f82	Fix overly-aggressive and inconsistent quoting in OS X start script. Sidar Lopez, per bug #6310, with some additional improvements by me. Back-patch to 9.0, where the issue was introduced.	14 years ago

Tom Lane	8f5500e6bd	Make it reasonably safe to use pg_ctl to start the postmaster from a boot-time script. To do this, have pg_ctl pass down its parent shell's PID in an environment variable PG_GRANDPARENT_PID, and teach CreateLockFile() to disregard that PID as a false match if it finds it in postmaster.pid. This allows us to cope with one level of postgres-owned shell process even with pg_ctl in the way, so it's just as safe as starting the postmaster directly. You still have to be careful about how you write the initscript though. Adjust the comments in contrib/start-scripts/ to not deprecate use of pg_ctl. Also, fix the ROTATELOGS option in the OSX script, which was indulging in exactly the sort of unsafe coding that renders this fix pointless :-(. A pipe inside the "sudo" will probably result in more than one postgres-owned process hanging around.	17 years ago
Tom Lane	97e3a6e9c5	Remove inappropriate cd commands, per David Wheeler. Also make the PATH responsive to the installation prefix, which was the apparent intent of the previous edit, but not well executed.	18 years ago

Bruce Momjian	87a9473276	Update /contrib OS/X startup files, and move to a separate OS/X directory. Mark Cotner and David Fetter	19 years ago
