Thanks for the hints and discussion about this.
Here's my final implementation for the curious and to close the loop:
# a zsh function to avoid having to type "service="
$ which pssql
pssql () {
psql "service=$@"
}
# and a zsh completion function:
$ cat ~/.fpath/_pssql
#compdef pssql
PG_SERVICES_CONF=~/.pg_service.conf
if [[ -r ${PG_SERVICES_CONF} ]]; then
compadd $(sed -nE 's/^ *\[(.*)\] *$/\1/p' ${PG_SERVICES_CONF})
fi
It works like a charm!
I made bash functions to do something similar, with just hardcoded server names. It has auto-complete and allows me to use descriptive names instead of server names and custom postgres versions.
