Thread: Custom C function shutdown-signaling

How do I signal a custom C function that the Postmaster wants to shut down ?

I want to use "pg_ctl restart -mf"  and not "pg_ctl  restart -mi"  because
of data integrity concerns...

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Do "CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();" at a suitable spot in the C function's main
loop.
