I have added the second sentence to our 8.3 beta docs: Alternatively, you can send the signal directly using <command>kill</> (or <command>pg_ctl kill TERM [process id]</> on <productname>Windows</>). You can actually use pg_ctl kill on Unix too but it seems awkward to suggest it in the existing sentence. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
