Hello listmates,

When I run the following:

postgres@zeus:~$ export PGDATA=/var/postgres/8.4/data_64/                      
postgres@zeus:~$ /usr/postgres/8.4/bin/amd64/pg_ctl stop                        
waiting for server to shut down............................................................... failed 
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
postgres@zeus:~$ /usr/postgres/8.4/bin/amd64/pg_ctl stop                        
waiting for server to shut down............................................................... failed
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
postgres@zeus:~$       

The Postgres 8.4 would simply not shutdown for me. Don't know why:

Here's a snippet of /var/postgres/8.4/data_64/server.log seemingly corresponding to these shutdown attempts:

LOG:  database system was shut down at 2012-10-25 13:49:14 EDT
LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections
LOG:  autovacuum launcher started

Would anybody know what's wrong with this picture? And how to fix it?

Thanks.

Boris.
