Hi,

Will it be a good feature to have pg_ctl check the syntaxes of
the config files before sending a SIGHUP to postmaster ?

Suppose a DBA does somes typos in the files, he shall be confused
not to see the changes in server even after pg_ctl reload .

While I agree it would be a useful feature, I doubt you'll find much
interest from existing developers to add this. I suspect a patch
would be accepted, though... just make sure and ask on pgsql-hackers
before you start coding one.
