I am assuming the kill command is failing. Outside of your script, if you have sudo setup correctly, the user who is running the script should be able to run the command:
sudo kill <pid #> If that fails, you need to fix the sudoers configuration. In your script, just add 'sudo' to the kill command. #!/bin/sh pid=$(pidof postgres) echo $pid sudo kill $pid pg_ctlcluster 8.4 main start Same goes for the pg_ctlcluster command if sudo needs to get called for that.
