I'm running 8.3 on Windows XP.
I input > pg_ctl reload -D c:\program files\postgresql\8.3\data - or any
combination thereof, with or without brackets and the server is running.
The return is - 'pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments'.

I am attempting to load postmaster.
pg_ctl reload
I don't understand what is needed for [-D DATADIR]. I have tried the path
to Postgresql with no luck.
I've also leftoff [-s] since it doesn't appear to be needed.
Help would be appreciated.
unclear from your description what help you specifically need. there's
no actual questions there..
what happened when you "attempt" this?
the DATADIR is the full path to the postgres data directory, such as
/var/lib/pgsql/data on my RHEL/CentOS linux systems or "/program
files/postgresql/8.3/data" on a windows system. the -s flag is 'silent'
and yes, quite unneccessary here. the only output from a 'reload'
command is 'server signaled', to find out if it was successful, you'd need
to check the server logfile, such as
DATADIR/pg_log/postgresql-2009-02-14_000000.log, where you'd see something
like...
LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files
as a response to the reload request.
