I've already googled and manual read as much as I could before posting this here.
Version info: Postgres8.4 on Ubuntu10.x
I have a personal laptop that I run a postgres server on, and a Java script using JDBC was running for 1600~ mintues (that I have had running for weeks prior) before dying saying an administrator restarted the server. Here is what I found in the pgsql logs:

I live by myself and noone else could ssh in from the outside to do this. I was not home at the time this happened. I viewed the auth logs for commands that were run during this time, nothing outside of normal cron commands. Why would this happen? What would cause this? Can it be fixed/prevented?
