I would say "signal postmaster PID 1234 is not allowed". It is not an
in-progress action.

syslogger and statistics collector don't have a procArray entry so you could
probably provide a new function that checks if it is an auxiliary process.
AuxiliaryPidGetProc() does not return all auxiliary processes; syslogger and
statistics collector don't have a procArray entry. You can use their PIDs
(SysLoggerPID and PgStatPID) to provide an accurate information.

I would say "signal PostgreSQL auxiliary process PID 1234 is not allowed".
+ ereport(WARNING,
+ (errmsg("PID %d is not a PostgreSQL server process", pid)));
I would say "PID 1234 is not a PostgreSQL backend process". That's the glossary
terminology.
