Hi Tom,
An excellent suggestion and I've just done it.
Many thanks.

It's quite unlikely that your data directory is "~/bin".

I recommend setting up PGDATA as an environment variable, so you never
have to type it at all ...

As well it shouldn't be. -D is supposed to specify the data directory,
not the place where the executables are.

Hi Everybody,
I experienced something a bit strange.
When I issued, on a linux machine, the following
command as user postgres:
~/bin/pg_ctl -D ~/bin reload
It wasn't happy. The complaint was:
pg_ctl: PID file "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?
