Re: PostgreSQL Service

Look for a postmaster.pid file in the PGDATA directory. If it's there,
remove it and restart the service.

This is a known issue with beta-1. Bruce - we need this on the open
items list. Something needs to be done about it.

I am running postgres 8 beta on XP. When I install the service
starts and I can connect to the database. When I reboot the computer,
the service won't start. I get the message below.

Services

---------------------------

The PostgreSQL Database Server 8.0-beta1 service on Local
Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if
they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts
service.

OK
