That's explained in the documentation extract already quoted: if you do use a bad user/db/password, the server will log a message about that, since it just sees a failed connection attempt. If you'd rather not have such chatter in your log, then you want to give pg_isready valid connection data. But that's incidental to the purpose of the program. regards, tom lane
