Обсуждение: Which files does PostgreSQL need from initscripts RPM?

Does anyone know which files PostgreSQL 7.3.2 requires
from the initscripts RPM?  I am trying to build and
install the database from the source RPM on a Cobalt
RAQ550, but Cobalt does not use initscripts and it is
not a simple matter of installing the initscripts RPM
on the system to make everything work, because I do
not want to stomp on anything already on the system.
So far I have been able to track down that PostgreSQL
is using /sbin/initlog from the initscripts RPM.  Does
anyone know which, if any, other files are used from
the initscripts RPM?

TIA.

You'd probably be best off not to try using the RPM distribution at all.
Get the source tarball and configure/build for yourself.  The RPM distro
isn't intended to be configurable enough to let you install it "out of
the way".

/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is required.  Also the whole structure of System V
init is required by that script.

???  What is in use on the Cobalt system?  How are system services started
from /etc/inittab?

The /sbin/initlog program is called from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions.  This
script is also part of the initscripts package.  /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
doesn't directly call initlog; something is awry in the setup of your system
somewhere.
