My postmaster.pid is something like:

23479
/export/home1/staff/marini/pgsql/data
5432001 11703

I don't know if there is something wrong with my installation (I run
postgresql on Ultra-2 station with Solaris 6), for sure I cannot stop
postgrsql server using:

kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`

as described in INSTALL file.
The right stop command should be:

kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid|head -1`

Best regards

Dario Marini

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