I've a problem with pg_ctl.
When attempting to start the postmaster I get :-
bash-2.03$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start
postmaster successfully started up.
bash-2.03$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster does not know where to find the
database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database
system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA
environment variable.
No data directory -- can't proceed.
I think this small patch should fix it.
Keith.
