Thanks, Guillaume. Can anyone confirm his answer to the question below about restarting the backup postmaster?IIRC, it works conveniently in 8.2 and up. Just do pg_ctl stop -m fast.
Thanks, Tom. What about if the postmaster is just killed (kill pid, or kill -9 pid) or the server/OS crashes? Will PG 8.3 in recovery mode be able to come back up okay and resume recovery?
