SIGKILL (-9) is like lobbing a grenade in the same room to kill said fly. Note that in 8.4 and up there's a pg function to do this. 8.3 and before kill -SIGTERM is what you want. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
