Answering my own question .... changed the -w (wait) option on pg_ctl to -W resolved the "problem"
Sombody in charge of maintaining pg_ctl should test it when the unix_socket_directory is changed from default Thanks anyway

LINUX UBUNTU 10.10 new installation
I installed Postgres 8.4.7 using the openscg distribution packages/postgres-8.4.7-1.i386.openscg.deb
The first problem was that the unix_socket_directory assumes '/tmp'
DBD:Pg will not connect on /tmp so I had to change in postgresql.conf
= '/var/run/postgresql'
Now DBD:pg connects - (had to adjust Webmin also)
However after changing the socket dir, the /etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start command says
Starting PostgreSQL 8.4: waiting for server to start...............................................................could not start server The PostgreSQL server start seems to have some problems, please see logs for details.
Log shows:
LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-03-21 12:18:24 CDT LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started
So all is running OK but the pg_ctl is not aware of this.
I tried passing it the -k"/var/run/postgresql" option but that did not solve the problem
Please indicate a fix - thank you
