Hmm, on my machine:/usr/local/pgsql10/bin/pg_ctl -D pg100/ -l logfile start
waiting for server to start.... done
server startedBut look inside "logfile".
/usr/local/pgsql10/bin/psql -d postgres -U aklaver -p 5472
psql (10beta1)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# \duRight, the database starts. pg_ctl just can't prove it started, because it doesn't know how to connect to it.
Correction, it can prove it started, because when it connects as the wrong user, it gets an error message which it would only get if the database is up. But in the process, it leaves a message behind in the server's log file.
Cheers,
