Re: Does "postmaster -i"...

A bit more information: an unadorned "-i" fails:

myst$ postmaster -i
postgres: invalid option -- r
Usage: postgres -boot [-d] [-D datadir] [-F] [-o file] [-x num] dbname -d               debug mode -D datadir
datadirectory -F               turn off fsync -o file          send debug output to file -x num           internal use
 
DEBUG:  startup process 7172 exited with status 1; aborting startup


But no arguments succeeds:

myst$ postmaster 
DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-10-19 13:38:20 UTC
DEBUG:  checkpoint record is at 0/1191A4
DEBUG:  redo record is at 0/1191A4; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
DEBUG:  next transaction id: 98; next oid: 16557
DEBUG:  database system is ready
DEBUG:  fast shutdown request
DEBUG:  shutting down
DEBUG:  database system is shut down


And multiple arguments succeeds (without damaging the other arguments):

myst$ postmaster -i -p 12000
DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-10-19 13:39:08 UTC
DEBUG:  checkpoint record is at 0/1191E4
DEBUG:  redo record is at 0/1191E4; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
DEBUG:  next transaction id: 98; next oid: 16557
DEBUG:  database system is ready
DEBUG:  fast shutdown request
DEBUG:  shutting down
DEBUG:  database system is shut down


I've done a "make clean all install", and did not see this symptom
earlier (I've been building and running quite often the last few days
with updated cvs sources).
