Yeah, it seems to me that we are likely looking for a wait mode saying to exit pg_ctl once Postgres is happily rejecting connections, because that means that it is up and that it is sorting out something first before accepting them. This would basically filter the states in the control file that we find as acceptable if the connection test continues complaining about PQPING_REJECT. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
