You can edit the script to suit your needs. The scripts in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory are there for you to customize at will. > What is that /usr/local/pgsql/lib starting up with it?

If you have apache compiled with php3, and php3 with postgresql support (PostgreSQL is one of the databases supported by php3), you might find it annoying to have many scripts, say postgresql.sh, php3.sh and apache.sh and remember that they should be executed in the right order. This takes automatically care of updating the ldconfig cache by `merging' (that's what the -m option means for ldconfig(1)) the information about any libraries that postgresql might require/provide.
