The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/app-pg-ctl.html
Description:

docs/9.6/static/app-pg-ctl.html does not mention the 'runservice' verb.
While this verb is presumably used only in specialized contexts (at least as
part of a Windows service registration if not other OS choices) I suggest it
should be explained somewhere as that explanation would help with an admin
understanding any behavior model diffs to the 'start' verb.

That's on purpose. As the runservice option ise used internally by
pg_ctl register, there is no point to expose it in the docs.
