webmin would be promising if we already had all that overhead
running. (plus i've seen it have problems -- for ecsample,
"apache-lib.pl" is missing in a few installations i've seen, and
it borks the html interface when a piece like that is absent.)
plus, the webmin code itself looks like it's right out of the
seventies. hoo boy!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #69 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine on
your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade there,
first: once tested, you can just have your current applications
link to the remote database through the network:
psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB
or in perl,
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17');
(You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in
/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that
all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time!
See "man psql" and "man DBD::Pg" for details.
