--- PG manual --- http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/storage.html postmaster.opts | A file recording the command-line options the postmaster was last started with So two inconsistences: (1) not necessarily postmaster; (2) if I starup postmaster by pg_ctl, then the information is not recorded here.
