To be fully transparent, the issue I'm dealing with is the following: If I set a specific unix_socket_directory in postgresql.conf then running pg_ctl start -w -t5 -D '/val/lib/postgresql/9.4/main' fails because I believe it cannot verify the server is running because it's looking for socket in /tmp. The command fails but the server is started and running. I don't know if it makes any sense. On a larger scale I only hope to solve part of the problem because if I don't configure unix_socket_directory, then pg_ctl will wait for the creation of a socket in /var/run/postgresql and will believe the server is not started although it is. So a more general question would be: "how to make sure pg_ctl expects the socket in the right place whatever the config is?" ------------------------- Santiago DIEZ Quark Systems & CAOBA 23 rue du Buisson Saint-Louis, 75010 Paris ------------------------- On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 6:33 PM, Santiago DIEZ <santiago.diez@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Fantastic, I have never dug into the .h files when building any > program.
