I'm confused by this.

The point of the patch is to highlight to the user that even though 
he/she does "pg_upgrade -j 8" the "-j 8" option isn't passed down to 
vacuumdb.

Default value is 1, so in that case the echo command doesn't highlight 
that fact, otherwise it is. The user can then cancel the script and use 
the suggested command line.

The script then executes the vaccumdb command with the $VACUUMDB_OPTS 
argument as noted in the documentation.

Sample script attached as well.

I added extra space in the --analyze-in-stages part.

Kirk, can you provide a delta patch to match what you are thinking ?

Best regards,
