I have the same problem using Windows 2000, but I have the impression
that no signal will be sent to the postmaster on reboot or shutdown.

When I am stopping the service manually with 'net stop ...', a shutdown
message will be written.

Does Windows 2000 stops all services explicitely or will the processes
be stopped only?
