But isn't that the point? If you use this setup, you are supposed to use launchctl to control the service, not pg_ctl. The same applies to, say, a systemd setup. If you are using a process manager, then trying to control the process outside of that process manager isn't going to work well. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
