Hi, There appears to be a problem with starting Postgres if the SSL key has a passphrase on it. The following happens:
Enter PEM pass phrase: FATAL: could not load private key file "server.key": problems getting password Starting with "postgres -D /path/to/cluster" returns: Enter PEM pass phrase: LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-09-13 13:51:51 BST LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started So the postgres binary accepts stdin, but pg_ctl doesn't. This isn't an unusual case, so could I request a fix to allow pg_ctl to take stdin rather than /dev/null?
