Thank you very much for sharing this "nohup" command. That's really helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Grittner [mailto:Kevin.Grittner@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 7:09 PM To: pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; gnanam@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Database clone stuck in the middle "Gnanakumar" <gnanam@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I connect to our database which is hosted remotely using PuTTY > thro SSH protocol. > my Internet got disconnected in the middle, > so database cloning was also stuck in the middle. > 4.

You putty to the server and run psql from a shell on the database server? If so, try putting the word "nohup" in front of "psql" -- that tells the program to keep running even if the connection is lost. (It is short for "no hangup", I believe.) On the other questions, I suspect that you'd be OK to delete the partial database, as long as it doesn't show up in pg_database. A command which doesn't run to completion is always *supposed* to leave the database cluster in a good state. It never hurts to make sure you've got a good backup before trying anything unusual, however. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
