Thank you Adrian.
Is the on/off on a regular interval?
My guess is a script(cron possibly) is trying to start the server.
Yes, It is regular interval.
No Con-jobs scheduled on server or even remotely.

The information:
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql11 start
Starting PostgreSQL: ok
aklaver@ranger:~> -2019-08-20 13:40:30.097 PDT-0FATAL: lock file
"postmaster.pid" already exists
-2019-08-20 13:40:30.097 PDT-0HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 1694)
running in data directory "/usr/local/pgsql11/data"?
Is sent to the starting process and does not make it to the server log
as the server is not started(the 'Starting PostgreSQL' notwithstanding).
I have verified startup.log and regular postgresql logs also, i did not found above messages.
Thanks,
Chiru
