Re: FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command

The exact message i saw is this:

LOG: received fast shutdown request
LOG: aborting any active transactions
FATAL: terminating connection due to administrator command

so does this mean that someone is trying to stop postmaster by sending it a kill signal?

i also have these questions:

1. many times i have seen two instances of postmaster running. how does that happen and how to prevent it from happening?

2. into the logfile (which i specify at the time of starting postmaster), i want to add timestamps, for each log/warning etc. How do i do that?

thanks,
regards
Surabhi

Something sent the backend a SIGTERM signal. With no more information
than that, it's difficult to say more.
