Now that I look at it again, that message implies that something sent SIGTERM to the backend. You need to figure out where that signal is coming from and why. I think I have heard of platforms on which SIGTERM is generated if a process exceeds a preset run-time limit; is it possible that you've started your postmaster with finite limits on process runtime? What is the platform exactly, anyway? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
