Let me make some corrections to my previous mail.
I start the PostgreSQL Server as 'root' like this:
su - pgsql -c "$DB_ROOT/bin/postmaster -B 50 -N 25 -D$DB_ROOT/data -i" >>
$LOGFILE 2>&1 &
So I'm staring it in the background and I'm redirecting the stdout and
stderr away from the terminal. Still I don't understand why it receives Fast
Shutdown Request or (SIGINT signal).
Any body has any ideas ??
I also don't see the advantage of using 'nohup' over what I'm doing, Since
Starting it using 'nohup' will only stop it from receiving SIGHUP signal.
thanks for your ideas...
