I almost never saw a shutdown done without the fast option anywhere (neither with postgresql, or the equivalent immediate on oracle).
It just seemed to me that it was a bit incoherent that stop does a fast shutdown, when restart fails everytime (here), because it won't stop the engine. But I agree with you, normal shutdown is the default behaviour on PostgreSQL, and killing transactions is not your responsibility... Maybe something like make it configurable somewhere instead of hacking the init script would be nice ? Because I guess I'm not the only one who'd rather have PostgreSQL obey me when I ask for a restart ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
