log_line_prefix = '%m %a %u %c %v %x '
# %m Time stamp with milliseconds
# %a Application name
# %u User name
# %c emits a quasi-unique Session ID,
# consisting of two 4-byte hexadecimal numbers (without leading zeros) separated by a dot.
# The numbers are the "Process start time" and the "Process ID".
# %v Virtual transaction ID (backendID/localXID)
# %x Transaction ID (0 if none is assigned)

(1)
Does this prove or strongly indicate that somebody did a [pg_ctl_restart] ?

(2)
Can you explain/speculate the meaning of the ~100 "PID 26897 in cancel request did not match any process" entries,
logged between
"the database system is shutting down"
and
"database system is shut down" ?

(3)
Can you explain/speculate the meaning of the ~30 "PID 26897 in cancel request did not match any process" entries,
logged between
"database system is shut down"
and
"database system was shut down at 17:19:05 EDT" ?

(4)
Can you explain/speculate the meaning of the 3 "FATAL: the database system is starting up" entries,
logged between
"database system was shut down at 17:19:05 EDT"
and
"database system is ready to accept connections" ?

Thank you,
