Well, that's tied into the fact that pg_ctl doesn't disturb the server's state if it gives up waiting. If it did, we would certainly use a larger timeout or none at all. I don't feel a big need to change that default, but if you have a surrounding script that is going to take adverse action after a timeout then you need to use a larger value ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
