hi, I have 9.3beta1, and strange problem. Have running slave pg in directory /home/test/test/slave:
=$ pwd /home/test/test/slave =$ cat postmaster.pid 16961 /home/test/test/slave 1368736261 5433 /tmp * 5433001 7241781 =$ ps uxf USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND ... test 16961 0.2 0.1 173528 12912 pts/7 S 22:31 0:00 /home/pgdba/work/bin/postgres -D test/slave test 16970 0.0 0.0 27020 812 ? Ss 22:31 0:00 \_ postgres: logger process test 16971 4.0 0.0 173640 5724 ? Ss 22:31 0:00 \_ postgres: startup process recovering 00000001000000000000001B test 17008 0.0 0.0 173528 972 ?

But when I'll try to restart it: =$ pg_ctl -D $( pwd ) -m fast restart waiting for server to shut down.... done server stopped server starting postgres cannot access the server configuration file "/home/test/test/slave/test/slave/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory The problem doesn't exist when I'd start pg with: 1. cd test/slave; pg_ctl -D . start or 2. pg_ctl -D /home/test/test/slave start only when Pg is started with relative path, and restarted with absolute, the problem shows. I know that it's probably not a big deal for most of the people, but it did bite me, so I'm reporting it.
