Re: Missing PGPORT in initscript causing problems with non standard port

Hi Shaun,

You can now change the port in postgresql.conf, so I don't see any problems
with this. It is much easier this way, since before with setting PGPORT
variable it wasn't clear why was there an option to set port in the config
file as well (since it was ignored).
