I am using Redhat Linux 9 and PostgreSQL 7.4.5. While shutdown the
linux server i forget to stop the postgresql. After starting the linux
server, now i am unable to stop the postgres. When stopping the
postgres i am getting the following error as

bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl status
pg_ctl: postmaster is running (PID: 17173)
Command line was:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster

bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl stop
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl: line 274: kill: (17173) - No such process
waiting for postmaster to shut
down................................................................

pg_ctl: postmaster does not shut down

Note: please help me to shutdown the postgresql.

Hi

remove your pidfile in /usr/local/pgsql or elsewhere.
Then start the postgresql server.

best regards
