Hello everyone,

I reboot my machine while postmaster is up.

after the m/c gets rebooted , I grep for the process "postmaster",
and it does not find it.

So,  I try starting postmaster. and it displays the following error
message: HINT:  If you're sure there are no old server processes
still running, remove the shared memory block with the command "ipcr m", or just delete the file
"/export/home1/sdc_image_pool/dbx/postmaster.pid".

does it means that i will have to delete the postmaster.pid file ..in
such a scenarion always?

No, only when it doesn't close down properly. Check your system logs to see what happened.
