I just deleted the pid file and started PG again. I guess closing the window kills it?

Hi John,
As a thought, what happens if you try a slightly different syntax of:
$ pg_ctl -m immediate stop
?
Also, does it look like PostgreSQL might be being kept open by a connection to it from an application or something not closing down?
