Two another options:
1. if this is limited to local access only, outside of the log entries, the
status of the startup could be updated in the controldata file as well. This
would allows to watch it without tail-grep'ing logs using eg. pg_controldata.
2. maybe the startup process could ignore update_process_title? As far
as I understand the doc correctly, this GUC is mostly useful for backends on
Windows.
