Will it be a good feature to have pg_ctl check the syntaxes of the config files before sending a SIGHUP to postmaster ? Suppose a DBA does somes typos in the files, he shall be confused not to see the changes in server even after pg_ctl reload .
While I agree it would be a useful feature, I doubt you'll find much interest from existing developers to add this. I suspect a patch would be accepted, though... just make sure and ask on pgsql-hackers before you start coding one. :)
