If you define the job postgresql initscript to be "bring up all
configured postgresql clusters" with zero clusters, exit code 0 would be
a good choice.

I am wondering: Does that (current) approach meet expections of the
user?  Imagine a futuristic car with pluggable engines, potentially
several in parallel.  When trying to start the car would you prefer a
message "All availabble engines have been started, fine" or message
"Error, no engines found" in case of no engine available?

What consequence would an exit code of 1 at that stage have?
My guess is that an error is shown but booting continues as usual?

Thanks, that's a start.

Best,
