Hi,

fileto store the port numbers would be ideal.
+1, if we are going to do this we definitely need a pg_ctl command
and/or a file.
> The standalone file being the simpler option
Agree. However, I think we will have to add the display of the port
number to "pg_ctl status" too, for the sake of consistency [1].
