When I run "pg_ctl restart" of the vanilla pgsql-8.3.4 without any options, it does not work correctly.
-------- cut here -------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] postgresql-8.3.4]$ ./root/bin/pg_ctl restart LOG: received smart shutdown request LOG: autovacuum launcher shutting down waiting for server to shut down....LOG: shutting down LOG: database system is shut down done server stopped sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `null' sh: -c: line 0: `"/home/kaigai/tmp/postgresql-8.3.4/root/bin/postgres" (null) < "/dev/null" 2>&1 &' pg_ctl: could not start server: exit code was 512 [EMAIL PROTECTED] postgresql-8.3.4]$ -------------------------- On pgsql-8.3.3, an empty string ("") is set to post_opts at read_post_opts() when no command line options are given, but this code has gone at v8.3.4 and NULL is remained. This variable is used to make an argument of system() at start_postmaster(), then /bin/sh claims it due to invalid command line.
