Re: Problem running postgre as a windows NT service

Yes I understand that the psql is the command is to verify that the server is
started properly.

Once you install postgre as a NT service.WE will get two things in the control
panel.

I am able to start the service now using control panel.

But what I wanted is that  insdeed of using  psql command in command prompt is
there any other way to connect to postgre.because basically the pupose of making
postgre as a service is to avoid the use of command prompt.

Actually what I mean
