[ome-users] restarting ome server(s) - mac os x

[Ilya Goldberg]

My guess would be that its Postgres that hung, and not Apache - 
especially since you were not able to use 'ome top' - which doesn't 
depend on Apache, but does depend on Postgres.

If you installed Postgres using the package we mirror, then you should 
be able to do this:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL stop
sudo /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL start

Possibly the startup item is in 
/System/Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL (where it really 
belongs).

As Chris said, we haven't done testing on Tiger, but are glad to see 
its not completely broken.
I am curious to see what the last few hundred lines of 
/var/log/httpd/error_log has to say though.
