Indeed.

I agree, since there's no need for any other function to touch it.
But personally I'd want to visually separate the static variable
from the non-static ones.  So maybe like this:

{char        cmd[MAXPGPATH * 4 + 1000];PGconn       *conn;
-    bool        exit_hook_registered = false;bool        pg_ctl_return = false;char        socket_string[MAXPGPATH +
200];
+
+    static bool    exit_hook_registered = false;
if (!exit_hook_registered){


Will push it in a bit.
