I shutdown Tomcat during the restart. Possible a zombie (or hidden/forgotten) process is running though the log indicates local. Had been using pg_admin3 for testing and somehow ended up with a possible zombie process there so maybe... Version 9.0.x - can get the release a little later, running pg_dump at the moment. Still researching/learning but was using WAL shipping and the ship command was failing. In the target directory the most recent WAL files is only ~2MB in size (can't check the pg_xlog directory at the moment). My guess is size quota on target but cannot check at the moment. Turned off WAL archive and restarted the server. Restarted a couple of times until I remembered to shutdown all the other applications. Pg_dump seems to be running OK and was able to execute queries. Was still having difficulty getting my Tomcat software to connect but am unsure if I'm just missing something or what. No obvious messages in either log about that but cannot get back to it until the dump completes. Appreciate any help that can be given. Unfortunately I haven't focused enough attention on Linux (Ubuntu 10.4 LTE) and PostgreSQL administration as I'd like (education and/or professional services). Apparently that is going to change sooner than I had thought.
