Thread: message at end of install

message at end of install

From

IIRC the message at the end of install used to echo out the startup
command (pg_ctl or postmaster), but now it gives some nice information
on how to get help. Should the startup message be put back in? Seems
like it is the most likely thing someone who just installed would want
to know.

IIRC initdb is the one which shows pg_ctl database usage. Why would install 
show up pg_ctl usage? There might be quite a bit of time between install and 
initdb.

This happens with initdb too?

Strike that, the how to run message comes at the end of initdb, not
install...  Maybe we need a message after install telling newbies like
myself to run initdb... :-P

Nothing's been removed AFAIK.  Sure you're not confusing "make install"
with "initdb"?
