Bug reference: 7750
Logged by: Timothy J Bruce
Email address: postgres(at)tbruce(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.6
Operating system: RedHat v6.2
Description:
In line 238 of the rpm based init.d script, the pid file is called
specifically with a qualified path ("status -p
/var/run/postmaster-9.1.pid"), even though line 70 specifies a variable to
point to the pid file (pidfile="/var/run/postmaster-9.1.pid").
This is with rpm version of postgres 9.1.4 and 9.1.6 (we haven't tested
9.1.7 at this time).
