There are some cron jobs running at the same time...
One server does SSH into our application server and on cron job is
reading the DB and writing some data into flat files. But by the time
this problem is happening these jobs are not writing any data. Last
night when the server went down the other server wa trying to do SsH and
probably it was running some cron job and a heavy DB process was
running.I can not do a top bcoz I can not login into server even from
console.

Well, that's not postgresql's fault. It can't hang a machine like that.
You
should look elsewhere for the exact cause. I'm assuming here that
consoles
that are still logged in don't respond either? Maybe leave a top running
to
capture the list of processes just before it dies? Any cronjobs about
the
time it dies?
What other processes run at about that time?
