Actually I found the answer....pg_ctl supports a -w switch which waits for
the start operation to complete.
Decibel...without -w, pg_ctl will return immediately before postmaster is
fully operational. If you don't believe me start the engine and try to
connect to it right away with pgsql(1)...
Cheers for now
