I have never used PostgreSQL, so I don't know how you normally start
it. However from the error message, it appears that you don't start it
with sudo, just with a standard user's login.

Can you start PostgreSQL as normal from the Terminal and post the
commands you use (blanking out any password). Then we can see how that
needs to be altered to work directly from Rev.

One other point: the message box does not always act exactly the same
as a script in an object, so for testing, I suggest you make a button
and do this in a mouseUp handler.

Cheers,
Sarah
