Thanks Dave.
I have reset the pgagent.pga_job.jobnextrun when server restarts, however it will be reset by pgAgent, when it starts.
Following are the steps, I have done.
1. Around 2:45 PM, I have stopped the server
2. I have started the server at 4:03 PM and I reset the jobnextrun ( from pgAdmin UI ) to 3:00PM.
3. Soon I started the pgAgent at 4:04PM, the jobnextrun is changed to 4:04 PM and it run once.
Here, I lost the 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM aggregation.
Please let me know is there any additional steps I have to be done.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramkumar

That's by design (following a long discussion here many years ago).

The easiest way would probably be to reset the pgagent.pga_job.jobnextrun value to whatever you want it to be when the
serverrestarts, before pgAgent is restarted.
