The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2711
Logged by: Yang Zhang
Email address: yang.postgresqlbugs@mailnull.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system: Linux (Fedora Core 5)
Description: PGUSER affects "pg_ctl -w start" behavior
Details:
When I do the following, PG never actually starts:
PGUSER=postgres pg_ctl -w start
If I make sure PGUSER I unset before pg_ctl, however, then everything
proceeds smoothly.
Even if this is a 'feature' instead of a bug, it should be documented. (No
mention of PGUSER in man pg_ctl.)
