It should come to the prompt so that I can start executing the commands. But when I stop the service the cursor is halting at the Prompt. Which is correct. This is happening in Linux & Windows both. I am specifying the issue I am facing as example below C:\>pg_ctl start server starting C:\>LOG: database system was shut down at 2007-06-07 16:26:20 India Standard Time LOG: checkpoint record is at 1/13B4C100 LOG: redo record is at 1/13B4C100; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 0/15083; next OID: 24713 LOG: next MultiXactId: 1; next MultiXactOffset: 0 LOG: database system is ready If you see the execution of pg_ctl start you will notice that the cursor gets halted at "LOG: database system is ready". And manually I have to hit Enter to get to the prompt. I would like to know what could be done to overcome this, ie without hitting Enter it should come to the prompt. Thanks & Regards M.AHRAM KHAN
