I created a shell script which began its simple life as After running the script for a second time and a third time, etc, the script was successively changed to: Restart Apache using service apache24 restart. In the end, PHP 7.0.22 got upgraded to PHP 7.1.9. All is well.

All commands were done as the root user unless indicated. This time it was necessary to create a new ZFS hierarchy of filesystems rooted at /var/db/postgres/data96. Also, the new PostgreSQL DBMS runs as the postgres user, not the pgsql user.
