Subject: [bug#45588] [PATCH] services: postgresql: Log from pg_ctl.
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2021 10:10:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210101101015.6524-1-mail@cbaines.net> (raw)
pg_ctl will output errors when starting PostgreSQL, for example about errors
in the configuration file. Without getting pg_ctl to log to a file, I'm not
sure how to find those errors.
* gnu/services/databases.scm (postgresql-activation): Create
/var/log/postgresql.
(postgresql-shepherd-service): Pass --log=/var/log/postgresql/pg_ctl to
pg_ctl.
