2017-01-14pg_ctl: Change default to wait for all actionsPeter Eisentraut
The different actions in pg_ctl had different defaults for -w and -W, mostly for historical reasons. Most users will want the -w behavior, so make that the default. Remove the -w option in most example and test code, so avoid confusion and reduce verbosity. pg_upgrade is not touched, so it can continue to work with older installations.

2017-01-14Updates to reflect that pg_ctl stop -m fast is the defaultPeter Eisentraut
Various example and test code used -m fast explicitly, but since it's the default, this can be omitted now or should be replaced by a better example. pg_upgrade is not touched, so it can continue to operate with older installations.
2017-01-12Make whitespace consistent inside some script filesPeter Eisentraut
I don't know what the global standard might be, but at least adjacent code should use the same whitespace.

2011-11-26Fix overly-aggressive and inconsistent quoting in OS X start script.Tom Lane
Sidar Lopez, per bug #6310, with some additional improvements by me. Back-patch to 9.0, where the issue was introduced.

2009-08-27Make it reasonably safe to use pg_ctl to start the postmaster from a boot-timeTom Lane
script. To do this, have pg_ctl pass down its parent shell's PID in an environment variable PG_GRANDPARENT_PID, and teach CreateLockFile() to disregard that PID as a false match if it finds it in postmaster.pid. This allows us to cope with one level of postgres-owned shell process even with pg_ctl in the way, so it's just as safe as starting the postmaster directly. You still have to be careful about how you write the initscript though. Adjust the comments in contrib/start-scripts/ to not deprecate use of pg_ctl. Also, fix the ROTATELOGS option in the OSX script, which was indulging in exactly the sort of unsafe coding that renders this fix pointless :-(. A pipe inside the "sudo" will probably result in more than one postgres-owned process hanging around.
2008-01-16Remove inappropriate cd commands, per David Wheeler. Also makeTom Lane
the PATH responsive to the installation prefix, which was the apparent intent of the previous edit, but not well executed.
