Hello,
    Does any one know how to send a SIGHUP signal to the postmaster
started as a service when logged in as Administrator on NT4? At the moment
it complains of not being the owner.
Cheers,
- Stuart

This may not be exactly what you want to do, but you can stop the service
with

net stop postmaster

Thanks but I'm trying to avoid having to take the server of line to have it
reread the new postgresql.conf (basically I've just increased max
connections and shared memory).
Cheers,

What version of Cygwin are you using?  I think that I recall problems
such as the above in the past.  I just tried with a DLL that I built
from CVS on or about 2001-12-28 11:30 and had no problems.  FWIW I'm
using Win2K SP1.

Another idea is to ssh into the postgres account (assuming that is the
user running the postmaster service) and issue the kill -1 from there.

HTH,
Jason
