Hi. When we perform "pg_ctl -w start", postgres try to connect to postgres-database until timeout.
If a user who perform "pg_ctl -w start" does not have authority to connect postgres-database, pg_ctl will return 1 and show "could not start server" message. But, in fact server is already starting. Therefore, users sometimes confuse. I think that if we failed on test_postmaster_connection(), pg_ctl might want to return 0 and show the message like following... "server starting, but could not connect server. Check your authority." Your thoughts?
