Re: postmaster does not shutdown

On my system (w2k), all postgres processes disappear from taskman after closing the cygwin window (started with either pg_ctl or postmaster)..

No. It doesn't kill postgresql and it doesn't kill the ipc-daemon. If you
look at the win task manager you see the processes still running. You can
kill it with the task manager but this is a rather inelegant way;-)
