Waiting for postmaster to be completely started

Hello, I have a script with the following code: $(PGSQL)/bin/pg_ctl -D $(PGSQL)/data start ;\ $(PGSQL)/bin/createlang -L $(PGSQL)/lib plpgsql template1 Sometimes I get an error from createlang, and it appears that postmaster has not completely been started and is not ready to accept connections. Does the pg_ctl script wait until postmaster has been started and is ready to accept connections? If not what is a good way of determining this? I am trying to automate the building of the database, and I need a reliable way to do this. Wade Oberpriller oberpwd@network.com
