Re: Upgrade 8.3.6 issues

btw, no dump is required to flip from 8.3x to 8.3x, but
testing is a good thing.

check the postmaster.pid

[postgresql(at)swallowtail alerts_oamp]$ cat postmaster.pid
2545
/var/database/pgsql/alerts_oamp
5478001 0
alerts_oamp]$ ps -ef | grep 2545
500 2545 1 0 Jan11 ? 00:00:29 /usr/local/pgsql833/bin/postgres -D /var/database/pgsql/alerts_oamp
