We document 'pg_ctl restart' to preserve any command-line arguments
passed when the server was started:
Restarting the server is almost equivalent to stopping the
server and starting it again except that <command>pg_ctl</command>
saves and reuses the command line options that were passed
to the previously running instance. To restart
However, as of 2004-10-15, this has not worked. :-( The attached patch
is the one that caused the bug --- on non-Unix systems, SYSTEMQUOTE is
"", meaning zero-length string. I should have seen the bug when I
applied the contributed patch in 2004.
The second attached applied patch fixes the problem.
