[BUGS] postmaster.pid in version 7.4

[Dario Marini]

My postmaster.pid is something like:

23479
/export/home1/staff/marini/pgsql/data
 5432001     11703
I don't know if there is something wrong with my installation (I run 
postgresql on Ultra-2 station with Solaris 6), for sure I cannot stop 
postgrsql server using:

kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid` 

as described in INSTALL file.
The right stop command should be:
kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid|head -1`

Best regards

   Dario Marini

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
