pg_ctl status is basically a pimped up
'cat /var/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid'
there are 3 basic possibilities for checking:
a) using pg_ctl:
1. only root can do the fancy cat postmaster.pid (current)
2. root + _postgresql (remove rc_usercheck)
b) pexp=
3. everybody can check for an actual running process of postgres
(remove rc_usercheck + rc_check(), override pexp=)
i think b) makes more sense.
pid files being preferred on openbsd? :]
