Hi, I was redirected to this maillist when i asked questions on irc. I hope this is the right mailing list. I am running postgresql 7.4.8 on solaris 10 (and I compile and installed slony). Everytime I am trying to reload the configuration using pg_ctl reload -D $PGDATA, it deleted the postmaster.pid and didn't create a new one. So, after reload, the only way I can restart the server is by kill -9 and then start the server again. I check the log, nothing is meaningful except the last line: LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files I am wondering if anybody has any idea?
I also noticed that the pg_ctl stop $PGDATA -m fast and smart takes forever. When I do ps -ef, i saw several instances of <defunct>. I have to kill -9 almost all the time to shutdown the server. Thank you in advance, J ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
