Hello,
I'm posted a short modification of the kill command.
The INSTALL file mention the command "kill `cat
/usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`" but the pid file contain the pid
but not only, it also contain data directory and some numbers (memory
usage ?, database characteristic ?)
So when I run the above kill command I get :
pcbu-testiris:/etc/rc6.d# /etc/init.d/postgres stop
Stopping database server: PostgreSQL/etc/init.d/postgres: line 11: kill:
/usr/local/pgsql/data: no such pid
/etc/init.d/postgres: line 11: kill: (5432001) - Aucun processus de ce type
/etc/init.d/postgres: line 11: kill: (9076763) - Aucun processus de ce type
.
So I add a "head -1" to the command :
kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid | head -1`
