Now I try to import into 9.6.1 => the instance is not running but the environment is  set:

postgres@pgbox:/home/postgres/ [PG961] netstat -na | grep 5439

5439

postgres@pgbox:/home/postgres/ [PG961] pg_restore -V
pg_restore (PostgreSQL) 9.6.1

postgres@pgbox:/home/postgres/ [PG961] pg_restore -h localhost -p 5439 -F d -C -j 2 /var/tmp/exp/

This runs fine but where does it connect to? Nothing is listening on port 5439.

No, that can't run.
