Logged by: Henri Ky
Email address: sideuxb-ky.consultant@dgfip.finances.gouv.fr
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.20
Operating system: CentOS 6.5
Description:
From version 9.1.20, with "silent_mode=on", 'pg_ctl restart -w -D $PGDATA -m
fast' or 'pg_ctl stop -w -D $PGDATA -m fast' reports:
waiting for server to start.... stopped waiting
pg_ctl: could not start server
Examine the log output.
and returns '1' as execution code.
Despite the error message, the server is running without error in syslog.

silent_mode is gone entirely in 9.2 and later. IIRC, one of the reasons
for removing it was that it breaks pg_ctl -w. Don't use it if you intend
to start/stop the postmaster that way.
