Is there a way I can check what it is? I see no reason why anything would be trying to connect, any ideas? Could it be the autovacuum as I suggested? Also something I omitted to point out in my original post, the processes running on the machine (ps -ax) are as follows 3467 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /data/postgres/ 3468 ? Ss 0:02 postgres: startup process 4858 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /data/postgres/restore.sh /mnt/archive/000000010000001A00000087 pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG 6371 ? S 0:00 sleep 1 Notice the "postgres: startup process", does that just mean we're in WAL reading mode? Or does it mean it's not working. I know Tom, you said it will be working, but does this extra info change that?
