在手动安装(针对源码编译PG或者是解压缩版安装PG的情形)情况下,PG并不是在开机的情况下自动启动,在关机的情况下自动停止,作为DBA人员来说,显然这样的情形是无法接受的。
在Windows下, 可以使用pg_ctl命令生成PostgreSQL服务,并让它自启动。实际上,安装版本也是这么做的。 我们不妨看看pg_ctl命令的详细帮助先:
D:\pg921>pg_ctl --help pg_ctl is a utility to initialize, start, stop, or control a PostgreSQL server. Usage: pg_ctl init[db] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-o "OPTIONS"] pg_ctl start [-w] [-t SECS] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-l FILENAME] [-o "OPTIONS"] pg_ctl stop [-W] [-t SECS] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE] pg_ctl restart [-w] [-t SECS] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE] [-o "OPTIONS"] pg_ctl reload [-D DATADIR] [-s] pg_ctl status [-D DATADIR] pg_ctl promote [-D DATADIR] [-s] pg_ctl kill SIGNALNAME PID pg_ctl register [-N SERVICENAME] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-D DATADIR] [-S START-TYPE] [-w] [-t SECS] [-o "OPTIONS"] pg_ctl unregister [-N SERVICENAME] Common options: -D, --pgdata=DATADIR location of the database storage area -s, --silent only print errors, no informational messages -t, --timeout=SECS seconds to wait when using -w option -V, --version output version information, then exit -w wait until operation completes -W do not wait until operation completes -?, --help show this help, then exit (The default is to wait for shutdown, but not for start or restart.) If the -D option is omitted, the environment variable PGDATA is used. Options for start or restart: -c, --core-files not applicable on this platform -l, --log=FILENAME write (or append) server log to FILENAME -o OPTIONS command line options to pass to postgres (PostgreSQL server executable) or initdb -p PATH-TO-POSTGRES normally not necessary Options for stop or restart: -m, --mode=MODE MODE can be "smart", "fast", or "immediate" Shutdown modes are: smart quit after all clients have disconnected fast quit directly, with proper shutdown immediate quit without complete shutdown; will lead to recovery on restart Allowed signal names for kill: ABRT HUP INT QUIT TERM USR1 USR2 Options for register and unregister: -N SERVICENAME service name with which to register PostgreSQL server -P PASSWORD password of account to register PostgreSQL server -U USERNAME user name of account to register PostgreSQL server -S START-TYPE service start type to register PostgreSQL server Start types are: auto start service automatically during system startup (default) demand start service on demand Report bugs to <[email protected]>.从上边可以看出,pg_ctl register用于生成服务,而pg_ctl unregister -N <服务名>用于删除一个服务。
如:
D:\pg921>pg_ctl register -N pg921 -D d:\pg921\data -S auto -w -t 10 -l d:/pg921/log/pg921.log -o "-p 5433"
此命令,即是要生成一个服务:pg921, 启动方式: -S auto, 自启动,如果想生成手动启动,就用-S demand来指定。
-t 10,意指等待10秒钟, 实际上可以设定的长一些(在生产环境中).
-l d:/pg921/log/pg921.log, 指定生成的日志文件的位置。
-o "-p 5433", 将服务端口号改为5433。
验证一下上述命令生成的效果:
D:\pg921>net start pg921 The pg921 service is starting. The pg921 service was started successfully. D:\pg921>psql -p 5433 iihero psql (9.2.1) Type "help" for help. iihero=# \q
在Linux下,我们需要写一个自启动的脚本,至少支持两个命令选项: start 和 stop,并将这个脚本建立适当的链接。我们就以Ubuntu10为例,
先看看系统有没有chkconfig命令工具:
xionghe@seanlinux2:~$ chkconfig
程序“chkconfig”尚未安装。 您可以使用以下命令安装:
sudo apt-get install chkconfig
xionghe@seanlinux2:~$ sudo apt-get install chkconfig
脚本内容如下: 放入目录/etc/init.d目录下边
#! /bin/sh # Installation prefix prefix=/home/xionghe/pgsql # Data directory PGDATA="/home/xionghe/pgsql/data" # Who to run the postmaster as, usually "postgres". (NOT "root") PGUSER=xionghe # Where to keep a log file PGLOG="$PGDATA/serverlog" # It's often a good idea to protect the postmaster from being killed by the # OOM killer (which will tend to preferentially kill the postmaster because # of the way it accounts for shared memory). Setting the OOM_ADJ value to # -17 will disable OOM kill altogether. If you enable this, you probably want # to compile PostgreSQL with "-DLINUX_OOM_ADJ=0", so that individual backends # can still be killed by the OOM killer. #OOM_ADJ=-17 ## STOP EDITING HERE # The path that is to be used for the script PATH=/home/xionghe/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # What to use to start up the postmaster. (If you want the script to wait # until the server has started, you could use "pg_ctl start -w" here. # But without -w, pg_ctl adds no value.) DAEMON="$prefix/bin/postmaster" # What to use to shut down the postmaster PGCTL="$prefix/bin/pg_ctl" set -e # Only start if we can find the postmaster. test -x $DAEMON || { echo "$DAEMON not found" if [ "$1" = "stop" ] then exit 0 else exit 5 fi } # Parse command line parameters. case $1 in start) echo -n "Starting PostgreSQL: " test x"$OOM_ADJ" != x && echo "$OOM_ADJ" > /proc/self/oom_adj su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON -D '$PGDATA' &" >>$PGLOG 2>&1 echo "ok" ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping PostgreSQL: " su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL stop -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast" echo "ok" ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting PostgreSQL: " su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL stop -D '$PGDATA' -s -m fast -w" test x"$OOM_ADJ" != x && echo "$OOM_ADJ" > /proc/self/oom_adj su - $PGUSER -c "$DAEMON -D '$PGDATA' &" >>$PGLOG 2>&1 echo "ok" ;; reload) echo -n "Reload PostgreSQL: " su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL reload -D '$PGDATA' -s" echo "ok" ;; status) su - $PGUSER -c "$PGCTL status -D '$PGDATA'" ;; *) # Print help echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}" 1>&2 exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
