Bug reference:      19391

PostgreSQL version: 17.7
Operating system:   Linux
Description:

Hello,

My test framework uses "pg_ctl status ..." to detect a state of Postgres
instance - uninitialized, stopped, running.

Time from time, it returns the error - pg_ctl: the PID file
"/xxxx/postmaster.pid" is empty

https://github.com/postgrespro/testgres/issues/329

I think, postgres and pg_ctl do not should create a such issues.

Thanks&Regards,
Dmitry Kovalenko
