Strange. In my "postgresql-16.service", I find
TimeoutStopSec=1h
which should make systemd wait for an hour after sending SIGTERM before it uses SIGKILL. Is your setting different?
No, I do not change anything in the postgresql-16.service file, I just install Postgres 16.2 on the virtual machine with Rocky Linux 9.3, using detailed step-by step instruction, provided on the page https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ for Rocky Linux 9 and execute:
# systemctl start postgresql-16.service ; systemctl status
wait some time, and when - execute this command:
# systemctl stop postgresql-16.service ; systemctl status
and got result:
postgresql-16.service: Killing process 26672 (postgres) with signal SIGKILL.
