​At minimum the word "setting" in that paragraph needs to be made plural.
", you can pass settings to <productname>PostgreSQL..."​

​I'm not particularly fond of the overly long preamble burying the "shell
facilities" - and the resultant comma separating the two - but cannot think
of anything better. Not having the transition makes it too short and curt.
The proposed second comma helped to at least break it up but it too
doesn't sound all that great.

I'm good for just making the plural fix and calling it a day.
