I think there is merit in the idea to let pg_ctl start more than one
postmaster. But it probably ought to be in a separate config file, since
pg_ctl is a separate program. Maybe simply have a file with one PGDATA
value per line, and pg_ctl runs in a loop and starts a postmaster for each
directory. But what if you want to run several postmasters under several
user names (probably a good idea, otherwise, why are you running separate
postmasters)? Needs more thought.
