[HACKERS] About a message when "pg_ctl -w start" failed

Hi.

When we perform "pg_ctl -w start", postgres try to connect to
postgres-database until timeout.

If a user who perform "pg_ctl -w start" does not have authority to connect
postgres-database, pg_ctl will return 1 and show "could not start server" message.
But, in fact server is already starting. Therefore, users sometimes confuse.

I think that if we failed on test_postmaster_connection(), pg_ctl might
want to return 0 and show the message like following...
"server starting, but could not connect server. Check your authority."

Your thoughts?

Best regards.
