Tom Lane 0bae3bc9be Improve corner cases in pg_ctl's new wait-for-postmaster-startup code.
With "-w -t 0", we should report "still starting up", not "ok".  If we
fall out of the loop without ever being able to call PQping (because we
were never able to construct a connection string), report "no response",
not "ok".  This gets rid of corner cases in which we'd claim the server
had started even though it had not.

Also, if the postmaster.pid file is not there at any point after we've
waited 5 seconds, assume the postmaster has failed and report that, rather
than almost-certainly-fruitlessly continuing to wait.  The pidfile should
appear almost instantly even when there is extensive startup work to do,
so 5 seconds is already a very conservative figure.  This part is per a
gripe from MauMau --- there might be better ways to do it, but nothing
simple enough to get done for 9.1.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
