Perhaps I have a bug in pg_ctrl?
This is what I get...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep ;/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/pg_ctl status
postgres 670 0.0 0.6 8544 1688 pts/1 S 12:33 0:00 /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster
pg_ctl: postmaster or postgres is not running

Hello Sir, I want to know how to check
whether postgres database

./postmaster -i &,
whether all databases in that postgres will run or
any one [default] ?
If any one, then how to detect that database ?
The "standard" way would be "pg_ctl status". "man pg_ctl" is recommended reading for anyone administering a PostgreSQL setup.
Well, the way I usually check on what databases are running is thus:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/mm5/doc> netstat -an | grep PG Saturday 13:18:30

One could presumably script things further to get more out of that; it doesn't normally seem worthwhile to do so... -- output = ("cbbrowne" "@" "ntlug.org") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/postgresql.html "As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination.
