Partly no, partly yes. My focus was on verifying the accuracy of identifying the actual postmaster PID on Windows. The current patch provides a detailed description of the events, primarily because I lack a comprehensive understanding of both the behavior of Windows APIs and the associated processes. Given that context, the messages essentially serve debugging purposes. I agree with your suggestion. Ultimately, if there's a possibility for this to be committed, the message will be consolidated to "could not start server". regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
