Thread: 7.4: FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command

Hello pgsql-bugs,

  Im using postgres 7.4 build from source on FreeBSD 4.9 with pglogd
  for storing apache logs.
  When apache load becomes moderate enough, postgres exits with message:

    FATAL:  terminating connection due to administrator command

  I tried different values of shared_buffers and sort_mem in conf
  file, but this seems not help.

Best regards,
 Dmitry                          mailto:dfr@wm.ru

Something is sending SIGTERM signals to your backend processes (or, if
the postmaster stops too, SIGINT to the postmaster).  Find out what's
doing that and make it stop ;-).  I'd bet on "ulimit" or some other
resource-limiting feature.
