In pg_hba there is a reference to reloading postmaster using pg_ctl.

Does postmaster reload when the server is restarted??


depending on your OS, there's a variety of ways of forcing the postmaster to reload or restart....

some changes require a restart, like LISTEN_ADDRESS, others just a reload (pg_hba.conf changes), so for a restart, just replace the word reload with restart in the following...

RHEL, Fedora, CentOS...

   # service postgresql reload

other SysV init based systems...

   # /etc/init.d/postgresql reload

Solaris 10, using SMF...

  # svcadm refresh svc:/application/database/postgresql:version_82_64bit
(or restart instead of refresh, and the service name will vary per the version)

most Unix systems without a OS specific service manager script...

   # su - postgres -c "pg_ctl reload -D /path/to/pg/data"
