Hello The "pg_ctl promote" command returns an exit code of 1 when the server is not in standby mode, and the same exit code of 1 when the server isn't started at all. The only difference at the time being is the string output at the time, which FYI are...
pg_ctl: cannot promote server; server is not in standby mode ...and... pg_ctl: PID file "/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist Is server running? ...respectively. I am in the process of developing a clustering solution around luci and rgmanager (in Red Hat EL 6) and for the time being, am basing it off the string output. Maybe each different exit reason should have a unique exit code, whatever my logic and approach to solving this problem be?
