Thread: User documentation on signal handling
<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<br /><br /> I just came across this page from 6.4 docs:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/6.4/static/signals.htm">http://www.postgresql.org/docs/6.4/static/signals.htm</a><br /><br/>Do we have any such doc in our current release? It sure is helpful from user perspective to understand how Postgresresponds to different signals; I just saw another instance of kill -9 recommendation to kill a backend in the field.<br/><br />Best regards,<br />-- <br />gurjeet[.singh]@EnterpriseDB.com<br />singh.gurjeet@{ gmail | hotmail | indiatimes| yahoo }.com<br /><br />EnterpriseDB <a href="http://www.enterprisedb.com">http://www.enterprisedb.com</a><br/><br />Mail sent from my BlackLaptop device<br /></div>

I don't think there's any table like that, but the Notes for the postgres reference page http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/app-postgres.html cover the same territory. I think we generally favor using pg_ctl over manual signal sending, which may be why the table's gone. regards, tom lane
