I'd like to abort just the procpid I enter, but using ABRT has a tendancy to kill lots of other stuff too. It's a little hard to find, but what various signals do to the back end is contained in the postgres (server process) manual page: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/app-postgres.html I suspect the line you want is, "To cancel a running query, send the SIGINT signal to the process running that command."
