Hi,
I do not want start postgres as a service.Postgres will bundled along with my application and i am only looking at starting it only from cmd line.If there are any options to disable this cmd window which appears after executing the "pg_ctl.exe start", that would be great !
Thanks.

Run Pg as a service, and use the "net" command or the "services.msc"
snapin to start/stop the service.
The GUI installer sets Pg up as a service by default. Why not use that?
