Postmaster re-start problem

I was just about finished transferring a database from a PostreSQL 6.5.2
installation on server A to a PostgreSQL 7.0.3 installation on server B
when I ran into a bit of trouble.  Both installations are on RedHat 6.2
boxes.  Here's what I did...

   * On server A:  ran the pg_dump command and dumped the database I
     wanted to an output file.
   * Transferred the output file from server A to server B.
   * On server B:  ran the following command: "psql -d timeclock -f
     db.out -U user_manager -W".  Everything completed successfully.  I
     opened and interactive session as user_manager and made sure
     everything was there.
   * On server B:  edited the pg_hba.conf file to allow connectivity
     from a single external host by adding the entry "host timeclock
     192.168.9.30  255.255.255.255    crypt"
   * On server B:  ran the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres restart" command.
     This is were the problem lies - the post master won't restart.

I took a look at the output of the "ps ax" command and I found the
following entry:

     17756 ?        R     29:09 /usr/bin/postgres localhost
     user_manager timeclock id

Am I correct in assuming that this is prohibiting a restart?  If so, is
it OK to kill this process off?  If I can't kill it off, what are my
options?

Thanks.
