pg_ctl and failing postmaster
Started by David Garamondover 21 years ago1 messages
When postmaster fails to run due to e.g. datadir being set to 755,
'pg_ctl start' incorrectly reports "postmaster successfully started".
I'm not sure how to fix this though. Do a [shorter] wait for 'start'
mode by default? Install a child handler (can you even do that with
shell script?)
This is postgresql 7.4.3 on Linux.
