You probably have a stale pid file. It's something very annoying when you don't do a proper shutdown, and don't have proper startup scripts. I'm still looking for a good solution to this. > $ cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster -a "-i" > --termsig INT --dep ipc-daemon --shutdown --user postgres It might also help if you tell it to use a log file, redirect stdout (and stderr?) to some file, and it should also give a clue why postmaster refuses to start.
