pg_ctl -t N register ??

Hi,

I just noticed that the "pg_ctl register" synopsis was updated to have a
-t parameter. This does not seem to make sense to me. Is it correct?
Does it do anything?

My thinking is that we should just remove the -t from that synopsis.

Well, Peter added it, but register already had the -w parameter, so
either register needs both -t and -w, or it needs neither of them. I
don't know which is true.

Humm, in pgwin32_CommandLine I don't see any reference to -t but -w is
there. So either

a) the bug is that somebody forgot to add -t to pgwin32_CommandLine
b) the bug is that -t was added to the synopsis, or
c) I'm full of it because of an untold reason.

Yes, the bug was "a" and I am responsible. I didn't realize pg_ctl
register stores all its arguments. Patch attached and applied. The
SGML documentation is now accurate.
