PostgreSQL Enable Disable

To disable PostgreSQL on Linux Manjaro so that it doesn’t consume your RAM and CPU in the background, you can stop and disable the PostgreSQL service. Later, when you need it again, you can re-enable and start the service. Here’s how you can do it:

Disable PostgreSQL

1. Stop the PostgreSQL service: This will immediately stop PostgreSQL from running.

   sudo systemctl stop postgresql

2. Disable the PostgreSQL service: This will prevent PostgreSQL from starting automatically at boot.

   sudo systemctl disable postgresql

Enable PostgreSQL

When you need to use PostgreSQL again, you can enable and start the service:

1. Enable the PostgreSQL service: This will re-enable PostgreSQL to start automatically at boot.

   sudo systemctl enable postgresql

2. Start the PostgreSQL service: This will start PostgreSQL immediately.

   sudo systemctl start postgresql

Verify Service Status

You can check the status of the PostgreSQL service at any time using:

sudo systemctl status postgresql

This will show you whether PostgreSQL is currently running and if it’s enabled to start at boot.
