Hi people,
I've setup a warm standby reading WAL files, however when I try to
shut it down I get the message "server does not shut down".
Can someone help please, I presume it has something to do with the
server being busy waiting for the next WAL file? What is the correct
way to shut down a server reading WALs?
The command line output is below:
postgres@way5c:/mnt/archive$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl stop -D
/data/postgres/ -m smart
waiting for server to shut
down...............................................................
failed
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
If I do a ps -ax:
7956 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D
/data/postgres/
7957 ? Ss 0:10 postgres: startup process
7371 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /data/postgres/restore.sh
/mnt/archive/000000010000001A000000A8 pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG
1160 ? S 0:00 sleep 1
1161 pts/0 R+ 0:00 ps -ax
it looks like it's waikting for the next WAL file.
