Hi hackers,

I would like to know that why we have 'Shutdown <= SmartShutdown'
check before launching few processes (WalReceiver, WalSummarizer,
AutoVacuum worker) while rest of the processes (BGWriter, WalWriter,
Checkpointer, Archiver etc) do not have any such check. If I have to
launch a new process, what shall be the criteria to decide if I need
this check?

Looking forward to your expert advice.

thanks
Shveta
