According to Linux Standard Base Core Specification 3.1 [1], the exit
status should be '3' when the server isn't running.
I've attached a very simple patch that resolves this cosmetic issue,
which applies to all branches.
My initial search regarding other platforms has turned up nil. It looks
like they just check for a zero or non-zero exit status.
As for the necessity of the patch: Gentoo Linux uses pg_ctl in all of
its initscript actions for PostgreSQL. I'd imagine that Gentoo is not
the only distribution that takes advantage of pg_ctl for its initscript
actions.
Sincerely,
Mr. Aaron W. Swenson
