well, i tested it now with user postgres, the same command as the
program, and it didnt shut down the server, the log gives me the notice
that it want to shut down but it doesnt happen, maybe this stop method
is to "friendly". i tested it with the already running db, so there were
no waiting io or anything.. with option "-m fast" it stops without
problems.
normally i do it as user root with /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 (stop|
start) and the shutdown takes about 5-10 seconds, the start the same but
with some waiting io, which takes up to 5 minutes of bad perfomance.
