I would like to make a comment on the stop script in the RPMS. It uses
killproc function to kill postmaster. killproc sends SIGTERM to stop
postmaster. It's good. However if postmaster won't die (for example,
some users are still using psql), it then sends SIGKILL signal to
postmaster. This is extremely dangerous since there is no chance for
postmaster to clean up resources in this case. I think the signal
number should be SIGINT (fast shutdown) or SIGQUIT (immediate
shutdown).
