Hello everyone,

I reboot my machine while postmaster is up.

after the m/c gets rebooted ,
I grep for the process "postmaster", and it does not find it.

So, I try starting postmaster. and it displays the following error message:
HINT: If you're sure there are no old server processes still running, remove the shared memory block with the command "ipcr
m", or just delete the file "/export/home1/sdc_image_pool/dbx/postmaster.pid".


does it means that i will have to delete the postmaster.pid file ..in such a scenarion always?

thanks,
regards
Surabhi Ahuja
