The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3858 Logged by: Faisal N. Jawdat Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2.5 Operating system: Mac OS X Description: psql hangs if called as postgres is coming online Details:
If I use psql on a local database while the daemon is coming online, psql hangs and most be killed. Subsequent psql processes will connect without incident. This is relevant for Mac OS X in particular because the bug prevents PostgreSQL from being used with launchd as an on-demand service -- running psql will cause postgres to launch, but the first psql process will be hung. This behavior does not impact running PostgreSQL at startup (or manually) under launchd. Please mail me if you need launchd plists for these configurations. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
