Re: BUG #15376: Postgres sql 9.4.19 pg_upgrade stops with error The source cluster was not shut down cleanly.

HI Bruce,

We are using below command for an upgrade and after executing the below
command the status is returning with the cluster error.
/opt/postgres/9.4/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/bin -B /opt/postgres/9.4/bin -d
<old data path> -D <new data path>
rc=$?
Rc returns the mentioned error.

When we check with pg_ctl status command output is showing as server not
running.

How can we check the database cluster is shut down using which command.Can
you share us the details other than the pg_ctl.bR
