We have installed the PostgreSQL 7.1.3 database on a HPUX 11.00 system and
was running fine until now. The database has stopped and when running the
'/sbin/init.d/postgres start' command, it will only run for a few seconds
before quitting. We know this because we can grep on the 'postmaster'
process but only exists for the first 10-15 seconds or so.

We have turned on debugging with the following results:

Appliedview pg_log invoking IpcMemorycreate(size=1245184)
FindExec: found "joptjpgsql-7.1.3jbinjpostmaster" using argv[O]

Is the database corrupt? Can it be saved?

Thanks for assistance,
