In order to get postgresql to launch, all the lines in {{{ /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql82-server/postgresql82-server.wrapper }}} of the form {{{ su postgres -c "..." }}} needed to be changed to {{{ sudo -u postgres ... }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19972> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
