I have a script where after a point-in-time recovery I run
"pg_ctl start -D /data -w -t 86400"
and then try to connect as soon as pg_ctl finishes. With Postgres 9.5.9 (on Centos 7.4) I can connect at the end. But with Postgres 10.3 I get a connection error
psql: FATAL: the database system is starting up
It seems with Postgres 10.3 the postmaster.pid file state goes from 'starting' to 'standby' to 'ready' but pg_ctl is saying the server is ready to accept connections even though the postmaster.pid file says 'standby'.
Thanks,
Greg
