Hello,
"pg_ctl -w -D ... start" doesn't work when unix_socket_directory is set
to somewhere else than the compiled in default ("/tmp"). Having this is
useful for the startup scripts, so the status "DONE" actually means
success, instead of "maybe".
Jeff Davis wrote about it a while ago:

Simple hacky patch for v8.2.5; maybe someone finds it useful before
the proper config parser is integrated:
