Re: Database Server in Recovery mode!

oops forgot to post the ps auxwww | grep "post"

bash-2.03$ ps auxwww| grep post
postgres 3901 3.4 1.3 141068 13868 ? D 12:05 1:29 postgres:
tradein tradein_clients 130.94.20.27 COPY

postgres 7397 0.0 0.0 1360 512 pts/3 S 12:47 0:00 grep post

bash-2.03$

hmmm. two postmasters ??

and perhaps the "postgres: tradein tradein_clients 130.94.20.27 COPY"
is the guilty one
