In response to Cannot start Postgres : invalid data in PID file  (Daron Ryan <daron.ryan@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-general

The postmaster.pid file shows the pid of the postmaster. The file
shouldn't exist when the postmaster isn't running, so it should be
safe to delete. Its presence does indicate that postgres was
improperly shutdown though.
