Subject: Add mention that pg_ctl will return an accurate exit code when waiting
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=62782d97edb1fd4db41f6dfb1fdf5ae31d341adf;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git

Add mention that pg_ctl will return an accurate exit code when waiting
for startup or shutdown.  We have always done this but it wasn't documented.
