On Master:
select pg_pause_streaming_replication(slave_fqdn);
select pg_resume_streaming_replication(slave_fqdn);
On Slave:
select pg_pause_streaming_replication();
select pg_pause_streaming_replication();
If Cascaded Streaming Replication is confugured, then
On Slave:
select pg_start_streaming_replication(cascaded_slave_fqdn);
select pg_stop_streaming_replication(cascaded_slave_fqdn);
Or an OS executable [ either in the core or a contrib module] like
pg_replication -p primary_fqdn -s slave_fqdn -a pause
pg_replication -p primary_fqdn -s slave_fqdn -a resume
pg_replication -p primary_fqdn -s slave_fqdn -a setup
[ the last one would awesome; and i do not think that it is impossible, and would be loved by one and all ]

To do this, a fresh base backup must be taken from the master onto
the standby before restarting it, even if there has been no update since
the standby had been promoted.
