Thread: postgres crashes
Hi All
After running for a couple of days, my postgres server crashes.
When I do a /etc/init.d/postgresql status, I get unused.
And when I then try and start it, it fails. Only a reboot helps.
Here's my /var/log/postgres :

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Sounds to me like you are starting the postmaster under some resource
limit that it eventually exceeds. Check ulimit settings.
