[PostgreSQL 8.0beta1 on Windows 2000 Professional]
In case of a leftover postmaster.pid, pg_ctl start
tries to start anyway,
but pg_ctl runservice (as installer by the PostgreSQL
Windows installer) will not start the service, requiring a manual removal of postmaster.pid.
Apparently no proper error code is returned on the service startup failure - I couldn't get the service
recovery options to delete postmaster.pid (Tried batchfile and executable).
Regards,
Steffen
