Just as a follow up.. The same thing happened again after just going into yast and viewing the run level services. After I exit'd yast, ALL instances of postgres went down on the server.

Hi,
I wanted to report a new way to shut down a postgres instance. I was troubleshooting a PAM-warning message in syslog and decided to restart slpd /etc/init.d/slpd, since I made a small change in ldap.conf, the OpenSLP daemon for the Service Location Protocol. It caused both instances of postgres ( i have 2 running a one system one 8.24 and one 8.36) to stop with a fast shutdown by admin(see below). The first time it happened right after I re-started slpd and the second time there was a 2 hour delay, then it shut down both instances. Has anyone ever seen that happen before or know why that could have caused postgres to shut down. I was troubleshooting a PAM-warn message with SLES 9 2.6.5-7.308-smp, sp4 and thought it would be worth a shot. It did stop those PAM-warnings for a while, since the instance was down. :)
