Use '-o -e'
the '-o' tells the postmaster to pass whatever is next ('-e') to the back end process.

Most of this formatting is down to the shell and not postmaster, but what you should be telling postmaster with the '-o' argument is to pass the next argument '-e' to the backend process. What happens when you make a connection to the postmaster, either by starting psql, DBI, pgaccess, odbc connection etc, is that postmaster forks another process to actually do the work. That is why you need to do it like this. With choice 1, you have just one argument. With choice 3 you still only have one argument because you have enclosed it inside quotes. When the shell interprets the line it uses spaces to split the arguments up. Quotes override this behaviour by keeping everything inside them - including the spaces - as one argument. This is why choice 1 = 5 and 2 = 3. Can you post the script that you use to start the postmaster and I will have a look at it. Also, it is always a good idea to Cc: the mailing list with any follow-ups because you then get other people seeing the message. > >(postgres is in use so, I can't just restart it when I want.

Okay, you've got me, I've never seen it done that way before. Every
setup I've ever seen calls postmaster directly. However, try these two
options and hopefully one of them should do what you want. If you wish,
you could combine both of them using the belt and braces notion
su - postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -o \"-S -i -e\" start"
or (all 1 line - remove the '\')
su - postgres -c "export lang=en_GB ; /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctrl \
-o \"-S -i -e \" start"
It would be tidier to do
su - postgres -c 'export lang=en_GB ; /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctrl \
-o "-S -i -e" start'
again as one line. Using the single quotes for the outside means that
you don't have to escape the inner quotes and makes the line easier to
read.

Sorry, I can't help here. Have you looked to see what happens overnight
that could affect it's behaviour as something must be causing it.

That may have to do with locale settings in the RPM I have installed. It's a lot simpler if it works for you. Just put this in /etc/profile: export PGDATESTYLE='European' Since the postmaster script uses "su -l" it gets the environment, including things setup in /etc/profile (assuming the postgres user's shell is bash).
