Try to find out, if the postmaster if really up by doing something like
ps -e | grep postmaster.
Then you may want to take a look in the script /etc/init.d/postgresql.
Where is the PID-File actually placed ?
It looks like you are trying to remove the PID-File without really
knowing where it is supposed to be placed ?!
The next option you have is to take a look at some logfiles (e.g
var/log/messages or something depending on your settings).
Greetings,
Martin
