PostgreSQL 服务器不会停止

Mac OS X 10.8.4上的 PostgreSQL 有点问题。在 postgres 服务器运行时,我不小心做了 brew rm postgresql --force。当我使用 brew install postgresql安装并运行 pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start时,我得到:

pg_ctl: another server might be running; trying to start server anyway
server starting
FATAL:  lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists
HINT:  Is another postmaster (PID 752) running in data directory "/usr/local/var/postgres"?

当我运行“ ps-ef | grep postgres”时,我得到:

501   752   235   0 12:42PM ??         0:00.01 /usr/local/opt/postgresql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres -r /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log

501   945   452   0 12:58PM ttys000    0:00.00 grep postgres

当我尝试用 pg_ctl stop -D /usr/local/var/postgres -m fastpg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -mi停止服务器时,我得到:

turns out that my brew.plist for postgres needed to be unloaded and removed at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ . After a restart all is well... closing question.

Had same issue, pg_ctl: server does not shut down. Furthermore, ps auxwww | grep postgres showed no postgres running, while pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres status showed that postgres is running. Restarting my mac didn't help, i even went as far as to reset SMC, but this SO Q/A gave me an idea what to look for next: brew issues.

Following this line of thought, i found this helpful blog post, that came down to following commands that solved this issue for me:

$ brew services list
$ brew services restart postgresql

Hope this will help someone.

Update - Unknown command: services

After a bit of investigation following one of the comments ('Unknown command: services'), i found out that the authors of Homebrew decided to remove services from the repo, seeing as no one wants to maintain this code.

You can read more about it here and here (related github tickets).

After some more digging, I found this repo that adds services on macs.

This is how I 'returned' services:

~ » brew tap gapple/services
~ » brew services
usage: [sudo] brew services [--help] <command> [<formula>]


Small wrapper around `launchctl` for supported formulae, commands available:
cleanup Get rid of stale services and unused plists
list    List all services managed by `brew services`
restart Gracefully restart selected service
start   Start selected service
stop    Stop selected service


Options, sudo and paths:


sudo   When run as root, operates on /Library/LaunchDaemons (run at boot!)
Run at boot:  /Library/LaunchDaemons
Run at login: /Users/user/Library/LaunchAgents

Here is another suggested solution: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/150300/need-help-using-homebrew-services-command. Didn't check it myself, so don't know if and how it works.

I had a similar issue. I had forgot that I integrated 'lunchy' a few days ago and was using it as a launchctl wrapper to initiate plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist on start up. pg_ctl was not effective because of the following line of code <key>KeepAlive<key>:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
3 <plist version="1.0">
4 <dict>
5   <key>KeepAlive</key>
6   <true/>
7   <key>Label</key>
8   <string>homebrew.mxcl.postgresql</string>
9   <key>ProgramArguments</key>
10   <array>
11     <string>/usr/local/opt/postgresql/bin/postgres</string>
12     <string>-D</string>
13     <string>/usr/local/var/postgres</string>
14     <string>-r</string>
15     <string>/usr/local/var/postgres/server.log</string>
16   </array>
17   <key>RunAtLoad</key>
18   <true/>
19   <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
20   <string>/usr/local</string>
21   <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
22   <string>/usr/local/var/postgres/server.log</string>
23 </dict>
24 </plist>

Trying to kill the process directly didn't work because I needed to unload the plist.

    launchctl unload homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

I got round this error by using the command

pg_ctl stop -m immediate


pg_ctl start

I did not need to unload the plist this way.

I was having the same problem...removing the launch agent solved the problem for me:

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

$ brew services list

$ brew services stop postgresql

Stopping postgresql, but it might take a while → Successfully stopped postgresql (label: homebrew.mxcl.postgresql)

When relying on brew-installed PostgreSQL, the following command worked for shutting it down.

> brew services stop postgresql


stopping `postgresql`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `postgresql` (label: homebrew.mxcl.postgresql)

As mentioned in another answer grepping through the list of processes and then killing anything postgres-related does not work.

ps aux | grep postgres
kill $PID

I didn't have postgres started via brew services, so couldn't stop it that way.

This worked.

$ ps -ef | grep postgres
501   547     1   0  2:07pm ??         0:00.29 /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/bin/postgres -D /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var-9.6 -p 5432

Use -D paramater from above.

$ pg_ctl stop -D "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var-9.6"
