From: Bruce Momjian Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 05:00:14 +0000 (+0000) Subject: (Now featuring documentation: fixed some typos, expanded the X-Git-Tag: REL7_4_BETA1~898 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54ca7a7b1338e9f91d5bc1227442cf66e607e313;p=postgresql (Now featuring documentation: fixed some typos, expanded the Envrironment and Files section, explained exactly what -w does) This is a patch which allows pg_ctl to make an intelligent guess as to the proper port when running 'psql -l' to determine if the database has started up (the -w flag). The environment variable PGPORT is used. If that is not found, it checks if a specific port has been set inside the postgresql.conf file. If it is has not, it uses the port that Postgres was compiled with.
