After that, postgreSQL refused to run because the socket (/tmp/s.postgres.5432 or some name like that) was "in use". I had to delete the file and reboot to make it work. I could get rid of the file without problem by simply rm-ing it. This doesn't look right: it's too much manual work. Does this mean I'll have to do that every time my server crashes? Can't the file automatically be deleted at startup, before the postgreSQL demon starts up? -- Bart.
