Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to How do I automate the startup and shutdown of postgres?

I put these lines in /etc/inittab in spite of someone telling me it shouldn't go there. But I haven't noticed any strange behavior.
# Run Postgresql 7.0.2
pg:2345:respawn:/bin/su - postgres -c "postmaster -i -B 1000 -o "-S 2000""
