Sort of. The odd thing is the error code of 10061, which is supposed to be for "connection refused" -- are you using anything which might be trying to connect out from the PostgreSQL server (e.g., dblink)? > 2010-04-07 08:27:53.934 LOG: received fast shutdown request > 2010-04-07 08:27:53.934 LOG: aborting any active transactions This looks like the server was shut down an hour and half after the broken client connections.

Any idea what might have happened with the network or client machine(s) at 7:00?
