When waiting for startup, <command>pg_ctl</command> repeatedly
attempts to connect to the server.
When waiting for shutdown, <command>pg_ctl</command> waits for
the server to remove its <acronym>PID</acronym> file.
When waiting, <command>pg_ctl</command> repeatedly checks the
server's <acronym>PID</acronym> file, sleeping for a short amount
of time between checks. Startup is considered complete when
the <acronym>PID</acronym> file indicates that the server is ready to
accept connections. Shutdown is considered complete when the server
removes the <acronym>PID</acronym> file.
<command>pg_ctl</command> returns an exit code based on the
success of the startup or shutdown.
