Dear Stephen,

Your help and that of Stan Hoeppner were amazing! I was able to look it all up in google
once I used your ipcs and ipcrm in my search. The best sites included
http://markmail.org/search/?q=postgresql+ipcrm
which gave lots of hits that gave information on why postgresql wasnt starting again and 
how to proceed.

You guys are amazing!!!
Thanks again!
Mitchell
