Hi,

I just installed the Postgresql 7.1 port and I can't
start it up using the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.

Whenver I issue the start command, I'm getting this message:

-----
mesg: /dev/ttyp1: Operation not permitted
function: not found
ls: not found
function: not found
Syntax error: "}" unexpected
-----


The actual startup script is /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pgsql.sh:

#!/bin/sh

# $FreeBSD: ports/databases/postgresql7/files/pgsql.sh.tmpl,v 1.10
2001/04/21 11:34:33 vanilla Exp $
#
# For postmaster startup options, edit $PGDATA/postgresql.conf

PGBIN=/usr/local/bin

case $1 in
start)
    [ -d /usr/local/lib ] && /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
    [ -x ${PGBIN}/pg_ctl ] && {
        su -l pgsql -c \
            'exec /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl start -w -l ~pgsql/errlog'
        echo -n ' pgsql'
    }
    ;;

stop)
    [ -x ${PGBIN}/pg_ctl ] && {
        exec su -l pgsql -c 'exec /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl stop -m fast'
    }
    ;;

status)
    [ -x ${PGBIN}/pg_ctl ] && {
        exec su -l pgsql -c 'exec /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl status'
    }
    ;;

*)
    echo "usage: `basename $0` {start|stop|status}" >&2
    exit 64
    ;;
esac
