When pg_ctl is used to start the postmaster without the -w flag, it says
postmaster successfully started
when in fact it should be "postmaster starting" because it hasn't
"started" yet, or at least isn't accepting connections yet. A wait for
start says:
waiting for postmaster to start...done
postmaster successfully started
which is accurate.
This applied patch makes that adjustment and a similar one for stop.
Someone complained about this a few months ago.
