Have you looked into the postmaster log to see *why* it's not shutting down? > Can I kill the process 11148 and do as I planned accordingly? It's not exactly recommended when you don't know what the problem is. Killing only the postmaster and not its child processes is especially not recommended --- there are some defenses in place against that, but nothing that can't be broken by a sufficiently determined DBA. regards, tom lane - Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
