Yes, but that's not where it should be in FreeBSD, if that's even a startup script meant for FreeBSD. > In /etc/rc.conf I've added the following: > > postgresql_enable="YES" > > expecting this to automatically start PostgeSQL at boot, yet this doesn't > happen and there is nothing in any error log that I can find that mentions > any failure.
