StreamServer Port : bind() failed : How to solve this problem

Hi All,

 I install Postgre database which comes with RH7.3. If I stop database with
'CTRL-c' and run database using
postmaster -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

i am getting following error message.

StreamServer Port : bind() failed : Address already in use.
is another postmaster already running on port 5432
If not, wait a few seonds, and retry
postmaster : cannot create INET stream port.

If halt from system and restart then only it is working.

May I know what might be the problem. Can I have to change any settings.
