can't we let the sysvinit initscript (or the moral equivalent for other
non-supervising init systems) use start-stop-daemon --background instead
of trucking that code around in pg_ctlcluster? kFreeBSD'ers aren't
necessarily going to use sysvinit anyway (e.g. i've run kFreeBSD with
runit as pid 1, whose scripts would definitely prefer Christoph's
proposed non-daemonizing pg_cltcluster semantics).
if you're running it by hand yourself and you really don't want it to
stay foregrounded, you have a whole slew of other options. (though i
like keeping my personal daemons foregrounded, personally)
have you looked at all into the idea of a socket-activated postgresql
for those initsystems that can handle socket activation?
