Hello, I've noticed a bug if pg_ctl. If you do the following: pg_ctl -w -D $PGSQL/data -o '-p 10000' start; The pg_ctl script will loop doing a 'psql -l' to connect to the postmaster process on port 5432 (but postmaster is using 10000 in this case). The pg_ctl script should take the port number as its own option (-p port) and then pass it to the postmaster (or it should parse the options sent to postmaster). In any case it, the -w option should work whether or not postmaster is running on 5432 or 10000. Wade Oberpriller
