Re: Why does postgres take time to shut down sometimes?

Hi,

I have an application (multi-threaded C++) on Solaris 9 platform, and it
spawns approximately 18 PoostGres connections.

When I try to shutdown the postgres (after the application is taken
down), I have noticed that it sometimes takes more than one minute
(default for 'assuming' graceful shutdown).

Any idea why it is that way?

Also, if anyone can detail about the steps Postgres postmaster executes
when a shutdown is called, that would be great.

Thanks and regards,
