if that's all you get postmaster is not running. Try (as root) running
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart, this should stop pg (and will probably
fail) en start it again (should work).

I read you're running a rh7.3. Did you do any patching lately? I have a
rh7.3 too, always keep current with the latest RPMs. I noticed this
morning when booting my box (it isn't a server, just a test system)
that pg wasn't running. Maybe one of the RPM upgrades has changed
something so that pg will not boot up? I checked the processes with
setup et voila: pg was unchecked. Checking it again should solve it.

Has anybody else noticed this?
