.br
\fB\-\-dbname=\fR\fB\fIdbname\fR\fR

\fB\-h \fR\fB\fIhostname\fR\fR
.br
\fB\-\-host=\fR\fB\fIhostname\fR\fR

\fB\-\-port=\fR\fB\fIport\fR\fR
.RS 4

.br
\fB\-\-timeout=\fR\fB\fIseconds\fR\fR
.RS 4
The maximum number of seconds to wait when attempting connection before returning that the server is not responding\&. Setting to 0 disables\&. The default is 3 seconds\&.

command line arguments, and exit\&.
.RE
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
.PP
pg_isready
returns
0
to the shell if the server is accepting connections normally,
1
if the server is rejecting connections (for example during startup),
2
if there was no response to the connection attempt, and
3
if no attempt was made (for example due to invalid parameters)\&.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.PP
\fBpg_isready\fR, like most other
PostgreSQL
utilities, also uses the environment variables supported by
libpq
(see
Section\ \&34.15)\&.
.PP
The environment variable
\fBPG_COLOR\fR
specifies whether to use color in diagnostic messages\&. Possible values are
always,
auto
and
never\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
It is not necessary to supply correct user name, password, or database name values to obtain the server status; however, if incorrect values are provided, the server will log a failed connection attempt\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Standard Usage:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ \fBpg_isready\fR
/tmp:5432 \- accepting connections
$ \fBecho $?\fR
0
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Running with connection parameters to a
PostgreSQL
cluster in startup:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ \fBpg_isready \-h localhost \-p 5433\fR
localhost:5433 \- rejecting connections
$ \fBecho $?\fR
1
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Running with connection parameters to a non\-responsive
PostgreSQL
cluster:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
$ \fBpg_isready \-h someremotehost\fR
someremotehost:5432 \- no response
$ \fBecho $?\fR
