The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2711 Logged by: Yang Zhang Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4 Operating system: Linux (Fedora Core 5) Description: PGUSER affects "pg_ctl -w start" behavior Details:
When I do the following, PG never actually starts: PGUSER=postgres pg_ctl -w start If I make sure PGUSER I unset before pg_ctl, however, then everything proceeds smoothly. Even if this is a 'feature' instead of a bug, it should be documented. (No mention of PGUSER in man pg_ctl.) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
