While debugging this with a coworker we figured out that pg_ctl was attaching to the tty and then it clicked that we needed to be using '-t' where I was using -T or (neither).
Are you sure? I checked the pg_ctl source code and could not find any place attaching to the tty.
I think he means the ssh options -t and -T
Yes, I know. In my understanding, he is saying because pg_ctl attaches to the tty, and ssh should be executed with -t (force ssh to allocate pseudo-tty). -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc. Japan English: http://www.sraoss.co.jp/index_en.php Japanese: http://www.sraoss.co.jp
Yeah, and i really expected to NOT want to attach to the pseudo-tty.
I was also sort of hoping that it was dropping packets or something like that because
then it might have been a similar problem to the one i reported here:
