Re: pg_ctl wrong status info on Windows

Hi

You were right. This was the problem. I've modified yesterday the user
for the service but beeing in a rush I've used the system user not the
logged user so the situation was quite same. I've cheched now your
solution and worked. Also switching the service user to same user you
run the pg_ctl also worked.
Thanks!

Lucian
