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?
 
thanks,
regards
Surabhi Ahuja
