Controlling server startup behavior on Windows v16

Suggest edits

You can use the Windows Services utility to control the startup behavior of the server. Right-click the name of the service you want to update, and select Properties from the context menu.

In the Properties dialog box, from the Startup type list, specify how the EDB Postgres Advanced Server service behaves when the host starts.

Specifying EDB Postgres Advanced Server's startup behavior

  • Select Automatic (Delayed Start) to specify to start after boot.
  • Select Automatic to specify to start and stop the server whenever the system starts or stops.
  • Select Manual to specify to start the server manually.
  • Select Disabled to disable the service. After disabling the service, you must stop the service or restart the server to make the change take effect. Once you disable the service, you can't change the server status until you reset Startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start), Automatic, or Manual.
