The postmaster *never* restarts itself. What the above looks like to me
is some random script decided to try to start a new postmaster, and the
new postmaster quite properly refused to do anything because there
already was a running postmaster. You should look into your cron jobs
and see what sort of interesting stuff might lurk there.
