Hm, I wonder why this documentation isn't recommending "pg_ctl stop" instead. runtime.sgml gets it right: <screen> $ <userinput>kill -INT `head -1 /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`</userinput> </screen> but the text in installation.sgml seems much older. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
