Except that when I went to the trouble of wrapping pg_ctl with an
init script which was thoroughly LSB compliant (according to my
reading) and offered it to the community, everyone said that rather
than have such a complicated script it would be better to change
pg_ctl to include that logic and exit with an LSB compliant exit
code.
