Edit the postgres-wrapper.sh script and adjust the file path +variables at its start to reflect where you have installed Postgres, +if that's not /usr/local/pgsql. + +2. Copy the modified postgres-wrapper.sh script into some suitable +installation directory. It can be, but doesn't have to be, where +you keep the Postgres executables themselves. + +3. Edit the org.postgresql.postgres.plist file and adjust its path +for postgres-wrapper.sh to match what you did in step 2. Also, +if you plan to run the Postgres server under some user name other +than "postgres", adjust the UserName parameter value for that. + +4. Copy the modified org.postgresql.postgres.plist file into +/Library/LaunchDaemons/. You must do this as root: + sudo cp org.postgresql.postgres.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons +because the file will be ignored if it is not root-owned. + +At this point a reboot should launch the server. But if you want +to test it without rebooting, you can do + sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist |
