Re: Postgres process terminating

Hi Cory,

Actually it seems that the database wasn't shut down properly, and
while it was doing the recovery, it refused connections. Expected and
what needs to happen, indeed.

That's why if you are a client about to connect, you'll recieve the "
FATAL ...database is starting up " message.

Ideally, you (the dba) should let the server end this task (the
recovery). AFAIK, the recovery started as a consecuence of dirty data
somewere, probably a big transaction not comitted when the server went
off.

Are you aware of a shutdown prior to this messages?

Nothing to do with your current issue, but you will receive comments
related with your pgsql version if you are not using a  pgsql 8 :)

Regards
Guido Barosio.
( Shall I confess that I still have some 7.4.2 instances running in production)
