Hi Dave,

I use to shutdown the postgresql server by stopping the service, followed by 
that pgAgent server is automatically stopped. 

However I am getting the following error message in service logger, while 
shutdown server.

Postgresql Service error message

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( PostgreSQL ) cannot be found. 
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message 
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use 
the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for 
details. The following information is part of the event: FATAL:  terminating 
connection due to administrator command

Pgadmin error message

Failed to query jobs table!

The PostgreSQL Scheduling Agent - pgAgent service terminated unexpectedly.  It 
has done this 7 time(s).

It looks like pgAgent is not properly shutdown as you said.

Would you please help me how do I resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Ramkumar

The only way I can see for that to happen is if the agent is killed whilst the 
job is being processed. That will cause the job's nextrun time to be reset 
during zombie clearance when the agent restarts. In the normal case, the job 
will be run as soon as the agent enters the main processing loop, where it will 
select all jobs with nextrun <=
now() and process them immediately.
