> Once we start a Postmaster process, will it keep
running forever?
It will if you run it in background like
postmaste -i -D /home/mydir/pgsql-database-dir &
> How can we restart/stop??(the commands???)
The preferred command might be pg_ctl that comes
along with postgresql distribution:
pg_ctl start
pg_ctl stop
killing the postmaster process (kill <pid>) also
works although this approach is not recommended.
> Also, should we start the Postmaster only as the
"postgres" superuser???
I would say this is a management issue and it is you
who decide whether to start postmaster by postgres or
not. I have not seen in the document saying that this
is the only way to go.
> Is it possible to have users for postgres database
also....like in linux....we have users?
Yes. you can define users somewhere. The document
already explains.
