Well perhaps that is inaccurate: 'ps -ef' showed several processes with a status message of "waiting to startup" (or something similar; sorry, I was late-night coding and didn't think to write it down). Hm, I don't recall any such status message in the code. Can you double check what it said exactly? What do you mean by "could not get a connection" ... did it fail (if so, with what client-side error message) or just hang up waiting? regards, tom lane
