Hi
Thanks everybody for answers !
To be sure SGBD will stop before a certain time, I use function that is
a combination of pg_ctl -m fast to stop most of process cleanly, and
after few seconds, I send pg_ctl -m immediate to be shut down immediatly
the system if not already stoped. This works pretty well in practice and
offers a good compromise between clean and fast shutdown.
Cheers
