Without getting pg_ctl to log to a file, I'm not > sure how to find those errors. On Ubuntu, I noticed that pg_ctl logs are located in '/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-12-main.log'. Turns out it's using a Debian wrapper called pg_ctlcluster around pg_ctl that is setting up logging between other things. You could maybe call the log file 'pg_ctl.log', otherwise seems fine.
