    Starting Postmaster

    I am trying to use PostgreSQL 7.1 which came with the SuSe 7.3 distribution
    that I have.

    I am using documentation postgre.org.

    postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data should start the
    postmaster.

    I get several DEBUG messages with the last message stating " database system
    is in production state".

    The system does not complete the task. It stays on this last message. I have
    interupt to get back to the postgres prompt.

    Can anyone tell me what I am missing. Why is it doing this?

      Try adding an & sign to the end to put the process in the background. I
      believe it is running until you interrupt it.
