Yes, me too. How about something like:
PID=`ps -ef|grep ipc-daemon | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if !(test -n "$PID")
then
echo "Error: The ipc-daemon has not been not started."
exit
fi
in initdb (obviously only for Cygwin of course)? I won't try to make a
patch 'cos I'm sure there's a better way of doing this and shell scripts
aren't my strong point.
