Обсуждение: pgAgent on Macbook
Hi Support, I have installed pgagent on my Macbok version 10.5.7. It's running on Postgres version 8.2.10. I created the schema andI was able to see jobs node there. I have not started any daemon as I don't know how to do that. Could you please provide some instruction on how can I get the pgagent running on my MAC Book. Please let me know if thereis a document that I need to follow. I understand that for Linux, there is a separate binary pgAgent-3.0.0-Linux.tar.gz (415 KB) Do we have anything of this sort for MAC. pgagent worked fine on Windows which is a 32 bit operating system, how about MACsince it is a 64 bit Operating System. Please guide on this. Regards Poonam

Please let me know if thereis a document that I need to follow. We have no documentation on that as this problem is very OS specific. I'd suggest Googling for information on creating a launch daemon, which should work fine - an un-tested plist file might look like (substitute the variables for real values): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.edb.launchd.pgagent</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>$INSTALL_DIR/bin/pgagent</string> <string>-f</string> <string>-l1</string> <string>-s</string> <string>/var/log/pgagent.log</string> <string>host=$PG_HOST</string> <string>port=$PG_PORT</string> <string>dbname=$PG_DATABASE</string> <string>user=$PG_USER</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>postgres</string> <key>KeepAlive</key> <dict> <key>SuccessfulExit</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> </plist> > I understand that for Linux, there is a separate binary pgAgent-3.0.0-Linux.tar.gz (415 KB) As there is for Mac: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/pgadmin3/release/pgagent/pgAgent-3.0.0-Darwin.tar.gz > Do we have anything of this sort for MAC. pgagent worked fine on Windows which is a 32 bit operating system, how aboutMAC since it is a 64 bit Operating System. OS X on any Mac Book will be 32 bit iirc. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

You MUST exec(). > Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug. Start pgagent with the -f option. It seems that fork without exec doesn't play nicely in Leopard. You need -f anyway, when starting using launchd, as launchd process shouldn't fork/exec as launchd can think they've died and restart. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
