Hi,

I have installed postgres.

I would like to stop it autostarting on boot but I am not sure where HP
UX keeps scripts that it auto starts.

I have searched everywhere. Can someone give me some guidence please.

This is what keeps starting

# ps -ef|grep postg
sfmdb 2881 1594 0 19:20:02 ? 0:00 postgres: sfmdb LOGDB
[local] id
le
sfmdb 1618 1617 0 19:18:09 ? 0:00 postgres: stats
collector proces
s
sfmdb 1617 1594 0 19:18:09 ? 0:00 postgres: stats buffer
process
sfmdb 2329 1594 0 19:19:00 ? 0:00 postgres: sfmdb LOGDB
[local] id
le
root 20809 978 1 09:47:17 pts/ta 0:00 grep postg

Check in /etc/rc.config.d/ . But `postgres` is a open-source
software, so you might need to check their documentation to
see if they use anything other than this.

Thank you .

I have had a look in this directory but there is nothing listed which
looks like postgres.

I will check with the postgres guys.

Thanks

Hello,

in /etc/rc.config.d/ only configuration scripts are present.
The startup scripts themselves are in /sbin/init.d/ and links to them
are in /sbin/rc3.d/ or /sbin/rc2.d/.
Some services (daemons) are started via inetd (check /etc/inetd.conf).

Yours, Hans Martin.

The actual scripts are held in /sbin/init.d but they are run from links in
the level directories.. /sbin/rc2.d, /sbin/rc3.d etc. Some scripts look
for a flag in a config file in /etc/rc.config.d directory to determine if
they should run or not. If Postgres doesn't have a file there then you
should remove or rename the links in the level directories. To find them
run this -

find /sbin -name "[SK]*postgres"

and remove or rename the scripts found. If you are
renaming them then prefixing them with off (off.S70postgres) will stop
them from running. Leave the script located in /sbin/init.d. You might
want to run it another time.
