Yep. Those are two examples to stop a registered service. You could use "sc stop postgres-9.4" as well. Note also that when a service registered is stopped with pg_ctl, SCM will recognize that the service has been stopped. > The started postgresql service must be stopped in the same session. > Is this right ? When a service has been registered to the Windows SCM, a service started with sc or net will persist even if the prompt that started it is closed. Now, if you start a service with "pg_ctl start -d data", even if the service is registered it will *not* by recognized by SCM as started. And this one will stop immediately once the prompt that started it is closed. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
