Controlling the PostgreSQL Service
The PostgreSQL service is normally started when the BluStar Application Server boots. The following information is pro-
vided should it be necessary to manually start or stop the PostgreSQL service.
PostgreSQL is started by entering the command:
/sbin/service postgresql start
at the console (i.e., shell) prompt.
PostgreSQL can be stopped using the command:
/sbin/service postgresql stop
To determine whether PostgreSQL is running, the command:
/sbin/service postgresql status
can be used, or the System Status page on the administrator web Interface can be consulted.
The system should be configured to start PostgreSQL at system boot time. This can be verified by running:
/usr/sbin/setup
and ensuring that postgresql under System services is checked.
Controlling the DBD Service
The DBD service is normally started when the BluStar Application Server boots. The DBD is started by entering the com-
mand:
/sbin/service dbd start
at the console (i.e., shell) prompt
The DBD can be stopped as follows:
/sbin/service dbd stop
To determine if the DBD is running, the command:
/sbin/service dbd status
can be used, or the System Status page on the administrator web interface can be consulted.
