Description John Christian Stoddart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-06 09:04:47 UTC 
If postgresql does not shut down properly the file
/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.pid is not removed.

Running /etc/init.d/postgresql zap doesn't remove the pid file and thus running
/etc/init.d/postgresql start (or restart) will fail.

On removing /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.pid manually, everything works
fine again.

The .pid file is actually /var/lib/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid.
