CENTOS : [amul@localhost postgresql]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 19:29:00 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux UBUNTU: [amul@localhost postgresql]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 19:29:00 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I didn't face any kill problem on both VM machine.
