The options <option>--dbname</> and <option>--username</> can be used to avoid gratuitous

error messages in the logs, but are not necessary for proper functionality.

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.
