hi,
my system is gentoo amd64, postgresql 8.2.14. the postgresql service
can start without any error; but when i try to stop it, it reports
failure. the process of postgresql are actually terminated. if i try
to stop the service again, i got
"start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/lib/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid':
No such file or direc"
i will have to use zap to reset the service status. how to fix this?

We don't need the error message from the second time you stop it. We know for
sure that will not work. We need the error from the first failure. Without
that, we can't help you.
Otherwise you are just asking how long is a piece of string? And we all know
what the correct answer to that is.

I guess it is just a timeout issue. Take a look at the stop()-function
in /etc/init.d/postgresql. It calls
start-stop-daemon [...]
--retry -TERM/${WAIT_FOR_DISCONNECT}/-INT/${WAIT_FOR_CLEANUP}/-QUIT [...]
I have the same issue with a virtual server. At the moment, I just
ignore it. I guess it would be safer to increase the timeout somehow.
Hope this helps,
Florian Philipp

There are new start stop scripts for gentoo that work at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311047
