roctaiwan,

You really need to pay attention and look for yourself what the message is =
sayinig!
This is very simple.

> pg_ctl: unrecognized operation mode "restar"
The OPTION should be restart, not restar.=A0 So do =

pg_ctl restart=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 and it will work.

Note that this had  nothing to do with slony. I highly suggest you subscrib=
e to =

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/ for these type of questions.

Everytime I try to restart postgres it give me following messages:

-bash-3.2$ pg_ctl restar
pg_ctl: unrecognized operation mode "restar"
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.
-bash-3.2$ pg_ctl restart
pg_ctl: PID file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is postmaster running?
starting postmaster anyway
pg_ctl: could not read file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.opts"
-bash-3.2$


is that normal? Message says "starting postmaster anyway", does it still
restarting for me? =
