Clarification
Hi,
I am using postgreSQL 7.4.5 in Redhat Linux 9. Whenever i faced
power failure ,
i am unable to stop the postgres.
bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl stop
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl: line 274: kill: (19859) - No such process
waiting for postmaster to shut
down................................................................
failed
pg_ctl: postmaster does not shut down
Please help me regarding this.

Is there actually a postmaster running? Is pg_ctl looking in the right
data directory? The above could happen if you have a PGDATA environment
setting that corresponds to a data directory that's not actively in use.
