Hi Bruce,Thanks for the immediate reply.
We are using pg_ctl command to shutdown the old server with no option.In this case the pg_ctl will consider as smart shutdown if no option is specified as per documentation .
please find bellow command.
<new path for data dir>/bin/pg_ctl -D <olddata dir path> stop
We are using the same script for multiple releases in Postgres sql to upgrade the database from 9.1 to 9.4 .
Same script is working fine in 9.4.17 version, while upgrading DB from 9.1 to 9.4.17.
From the release notes of 9.4.19 version we did not find any changes done on pg_upgrade except one bug fix related to pg_upgrade has been fixed.
Do we have to add in our code to check for graceful shutdown or we have to wait for the next release?
Please let us know if you have any workaround till the next minor patch is released.
BR,
Kalyani

Also, you can't run pg_upgrade directly on standby servers. You have to
either make it a primary server or use the rsync instructions in the
pg_upgrade docs. The next minor release will have a better error
message on this.
