Hi Everybody,
I had a failure on stopping postgres.
The command I issued was:
>> pg_ctl stop -m s
and its response was:
>> waiting for server to shut down............................................................... failed
>> pg_ctl: server does not shut down
I repeated the same command and the response was identical.
I proceeded to issue:
>> pg_ctl stop -m f
and this time it came back with:
>> waiting for server to shut down.... done
>> server stopped
Would somebody please tell me what this means?
Is it indicative of some trouble? What can/Should
I do to remedy the situation?
My environment is Redhat Linux, Dell AMD 64bit machine
with postgres 8.2.4.
