Re: core file found...

Yes you are very correct,

postmaster's log had exceed the OS file limit
which was ~ 2.1 GB  .

i wanted to rotate these log but i do not know
how to make postmaster recreate a log file while
it is running.

I start postmaster as

$ pg_ctl  -l /var/log/pgsql start
for a reason i will explain in a seperate post


thanks very much ,
