I suspect that you are doing something roughly along the lines of
postmaster ... &
psql ...
^C
When you launch the postmaster from an interactive session, it is still
susceptible to being SIGINT'd by your shell unless you take steps to
prevent that. When I need to manually launch a postmaster, I usually
do this sort of thing:
nohup postmaster ...args... </dev/null >logfile 2>&1 &
The combination of nohup and making sure that none of stdin, stdout,
stderr are still connected to your terminal is enough to disconnect
the postmaster from your shell session in the Unixen that I've used.
