            Bug ID: 191187
           Summary: irc/inspircd startup may fail if compiled with
                    postgresql support
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: lidl@pix.net

I have been using the inspircd daemon to run an internal IRC server.
It's been working great.

I have compiled it with the PGSQL support, so I can authenticate
against users whose data is in the database, so I don't have to
restart the IRC server to add new users.  This has also been
working great.

I noticed today, when rebooting the machine, after applying the
latest binary updates from 'freebsd-update', that the inspircd daemon
failed to restart properly.

In /var/log/messages, I see:
Jun 19 14:27:08 XXXX postgres[1055]: [2-1] FATAL:  the database system is
starting up
Jun 19 14:27:08 XXXX kernel: pid 1041 (inspircd), uid 72: exited on signal 11

The basic problem is that inspircd can be started before the postgresql
daemon, or before the postgresql daemon is ready to serve data.  And when
that heppens, inspircd just core dumps.

I was able to edit the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/inspircd file to list
postgresql as a prerequisite for inspircd, and now it starts properly:

It would be nice if the inspircd port would adjust the startup file if PGSQL
was set as an option.  I would guess that a similar problem exists for MYSQL
support too.

Thanks!
