script for Mac OS X. I added calls to utilize the bundled apache rotatelogs script in the DB startup for log rotation. Also modified startup parameters file to allow using the "SystemStarter" utility to start/stop/restart postgres with a rotating log file. The script credits David Wheeler, 2002. I wrote him a message about the changes an he suggested I post them here. I explain some of the changes below. Not sure how to submit the changes. I have 3 files, "PostgreSQL" script, "StartupParameters.plist" file, "pg_startupscript.diff" file. The diff file was run against the original "PostgreSQL" script file. I'll try attaching them to this message. If they get filtered I can resend if needed. Thanks. Ray A. ------------------------------------ 1) Changed the "Provides" parameter in StartupParameters.plist to "PostgreSQL" from "postgres database" simply for ease of typing. It seems that the SystemStarter utility uses the "Provides" value if you want to control the script. This way I did not have to enclose it in quotes on commandline. The modified StartupParameters.plist is now an XML document also. 2) For the startup script I added 2 user modifiable variables: # do you want to rotate the log files, 1=true 0=false ROTATELOGS=1 # logfile rotate in seconds ROTATESEC="604800" I also added a non modifiable variable: # The apache log rotation utility LOGUTIL="/usr/sbin/rotatelogs" I modified the StartService and RestartService functions to execute the new commands if the user wants log rotation.
