cant connect to the database, even after doing start of postmaster using a script

["surabhi.ahuja" <surabhi.ahuja@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

i have a script to stop and start postmaster

 

However i have noticed this many a time sdnow. I stop postmaster using that script

and then start using a script.

 

However if i try to do psql <dbname>, it gives me an error saying that the postmaster is not up.

 

Why is it that the postmaster went down on its own, even though i had done a srart after stop.

 

thanks,

regards

Surabhi
