Hi,

I’m using Postgresql 11.3 on Centos 7.6.18.10 server.
I have very unusual issue which I don’t know if it is OK:

I have running postgresql server with default instance:

[root@pgpmaster ~]# systemctl status postgresql-11

If I restart it using systemctl restart postgresql-11 command, everything is 
OK, but if I use commands:
# pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/ -m immediate stop
# pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/ -m immediate start

Then I get following situtation:

# systemctl status postgresql-11

$ pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/ status
pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 4592)
/usr/pgsql-11/bin/postgres "-D" "/var/lib/pgsql/11/data"

Systemctl shows that database is dead, but it is actually running.
Can someone explain this behavioure?

Best regards!
