Ah, it didn't occur to me to try hitting ENTER. Still, this would be fine for manually running the script, but as I am restarting the server as a part of SaltStack config, I need pg_ctl to terminate without me intervening.
The solution with the -l argument is fine, I think. Even if I use it, the server then logs its output into the file I specified in postgresql.conf (which I would not expect, by the way). -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/pg-ctl-restart-does-not-terminate-tp5932070p5932092.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
