On Sun, Mar 10, 2002 at 06:11:21PM -0500 I heard the voice of
Dave, and lo! it spake thus:

FWIW (after a quick glance at the default script and the manpage), "-w"
is the pg_ctl option that makes it wait. I just take it out; it only
takes PG a few seconds to initialize, so it's ready to go long before
something would need to connect to it.
It could also be said that having -w implemented as invoking psql to try
to connect as the DB superuser assuming no password is a rather
inappropriate way of going about it, but that's another can of worms.
