Are you running postgresql on startup?
# ps ax |grep postgresql
If yes, do you need to?
If you do not need to, disable postgresql by doing
# /sbin/setup (as user 'root', going in to 'System services')
Then to halt any existing postgresql process, do
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
Then rm the .pid
(If you're running postgreql and needn't, you may experience a system
performance improvement after doing the 'stop'. Postgresql likes lots
of memory.)
****BTW, sending mail as 'root' is a Bad Idea.****
