connection refused Is the postmaster running locally and accepting
connections on UNIX sockets '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432'?

I'm running on CYGWIN/wintel.

pg_ctl stop gives

waiting for postmaster to shutdown
........................................................................................................

failed
pg-ctl: postmaster doe not shutdown

pg-ctl start gives

Another postmater may be running. Trying to start postmaster
anyway.
postmaster successfully started

It was working fine ... However my loads were very slow, I turned on fsync
(fsync=off). and it would not restart. I turned it back on again, and it
still dos'nt start.

There is not Postmaster task. (ps -ef )
I deleted the Postmaster.pid
A /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 file does exist .
A /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock file does exist .
