[Fwd: Re: [GENERAL] gmake check error on HPUX]

Is it better to use pg_ctl to shutdown postmaster rather than 'kill -9'?
If so, perhaps the INSTALL file should be updated, as it suggests
using 'kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/datapostmaster.pid`' to shut it down.

Your message says that's tip #4; where can I find the others?

Thanks for all your help, Tom.

This is expected behavior. See

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
