Actually this looks like an issue with pg_ctl on freebsd.
If I invoke pg_ctl manually to do a start:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start
and then
ps aux
the root postgres process shows as:
/usr/local/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
However, if I manually do a restart:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data restart
the root postgres process shows as:
/usr/local/bin/postgres
i.e without the parameters.
The init script is not the problem as it invokes the same pg_ctl command
line in each case of start, stop, restart (apart from the start, stop,
restart bit of course).
Cheers,
Gary.
