I don't believe pg_ctl is smart enough to dredge the -k option out of -o and figure out that it has to look there for the socket. In general I'd advise against using -k, as that will break nearly all clients not only pg_ctl. If you need to put the socket in a nonstandard place, it's most convenient to wire the knowledge into libpq by changing DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR at build time. AFAIR that requires manually editing pg_config_manual.h. 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
