I've been bitten by this, too. It appears that "-f -" is in general equivalent to not specifying "-f" at all. In startup.c we have a test for: options.action == ACT_FILE && strcmp(options.action_string, "-") != 0 I suppose we could change it to: options.action == ACT_FILE && (strcmp(options.action_string, "-") != 0 || pset.notty) But I sort of think it should just be: options.action == ACT_FILE ISTM that if you run psql with "-f -", you shouldn't expect to get an interactive shell. Rather, you should expect psql to do whatever it normally does when given -f somefilename, except using stdin rather than the file. After all, you could have left out -f altogether if you'd wanted the interactive behavior.
