Just use kill PID first! 'kill -9' PID will force all backends to flush cache for no good reason. Note that on most unixes, a plain kill PID will send the term signal, which tells the process to poltely shutdown and release resources. kill -9 is like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly for this. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
