I'm in the process of installing postgresql onto a second server

Previously I installed postgresql and then used the supplied script

./contrib/start-scripts/linux

Placed into the correct dir

# cp ./contrib/start-scripts/linux /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql92
# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql92

Which I could then execute as expected with

# service postgresql92 start

However the new machine is using Systemd and it looks like there is a completely different way to do this

I don't want to hack at this and ruin something so I was wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction of how to achieve the same result

# systemctl start postgresql.service

Some environments would translate service <name> start to systemctl start <name>.service, but you don't have to rely on it.

But where would I place the postgresql92 script? –  Trent Aug 6 at 4:57
    
You don't use it anymore in systemd. Your distribution should provide you with the postgresql systemd service file so that youcan start the service. –  Emeric Aug 6 at 5:12
    
The postgresql was installed from source though, not using dnf because I need to install 3 versions of postgres in specific directories, is it possible to use the supplied start-scripts linux file to start postgresql? –  Trent Aug 6 at 7:23
    
My distribution adds this script as /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service. The start-scripts provided by postgresql seem to only cover SysV. –  Emeric Aug 6 at 7:46
    
did you install postgres using dnf or yum? –  Trent Aug 6 at 7:55
