Why does pg_ctl start the postmaster in the background without redirecting the input and output streams? Why does it say that the postmaster started successfully before it actually started? Why does the documentation say that -w waits for 60 seconds, when it's really only a count-to-60 loop? Is starting the postmaster and checking for the existence of the pid file in the next command really reliable? Why doesn't /etc/init.d/postgresql use it? As long as those questions remain, the only reliable way, in my mind, to start the postmaster is to start the postmaster. I would *like* to see pg_ctl become useful in terms of controlling log file names or piping the postmaster output to a rotatelog script, but as it stands it's just another layer of possible failure. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
