You should supply your actual log file and also provide some narrative of what exactly you were doing prior to this condition occurring. Some context as to architecture wouldn't hurt - such as how many and what kinds of applications are connecting to the database, especially those that maintain persistent connections. System commad output like top and ps may also be of value though after you provide the background a more directed Q&A can follow. In short it sounds like you need to force PostgreSQL to shutdown and then start it back up again. If you are using the apt package you'd do this via some invocation of pg_ctlcluster for which there is ample documentation of both it and the underlying pg_ctl command.
