Like what? The thing pg_ctl needs to know is where PGDATA is, and that unfortunately isn't going to be known any better just by sharing executables. I don't object to C-ifying pg_ctl, but I don't see that it will automatically improve pg_ctl's robustness materially. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
