[NFDB-users] NFDB at boot time

[Fernando Alvarez]

Hi there!

I have had some troubles trying to make NFDB run at startup, and I want
to share the script to make NFDB to run at startup.

        if [ -x /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl -a -x /usr/local/bin/postgres ];
        then
            su _postgresql -c 'cd /usr/local/bin; ./pg_ctl
        -D /var/postgresql/data -l /var/postgresql/logfile start'
            echo -n ' postgresql'
        fi
        echo '.'
        
        sleep 15 	# wait for postgresql to start 
        
        if [ -x /var/www/netflowdashboard/sbin/netflowdb.pl ]; then
                     echo -n ' netflow
        dashboard';      /var/www/netflowdashboard/sbin/netflowdb.pl & 
        fi
        echo '.'

There are some modifications on the postgresql section to allow it to
start On postgresql documentation, the script does not run correctly (I
think the issue is about using su, and the pathname). I know it's a
little dirty way to start postgresql, but I didn't found a better way to
do it.

Hope it helps,

Fernando
