If you are running Linux (please ALWAYS give the O/S ), then this could have been caused by the sys admin doing a system shutdown.
Otherwise, anyone that can sudo to postgres could also have potentially issued a ( # %u = user name )

Hello everybody.
In the past week, it has happened to us twice already that we got an
exception from our Java application, due to PostgreSQL "terminating
connection due to administrator command”.
The problem is that I’m the administrator, and I issued no such command.
On the first opportunity that it happened, the PostgreSQL server
actually seemed to have spontaneously shut itself down and restarted:
2015-07-21 15:37:59 IDT LOG: received fast shutdown request
2015-07-21 15:37:59 IDT LOG: aborting any active transactions
2015-07-21 15:37:59 IDT FATAL: terminating connection due to
administrator command
…
2015-07-21 15:38:01 IDT LOG: shutting down
2015-07-21 15:38:02 IDT LOG: database system is shut down
2015-07-21 15:40:16 IDT LOG: database system was shut down at
2015-07-21 15:38:02 IDT
On today’s occasion, the server seems to be continuing as usual, and
there is nothing whatsoever in the log.
So my questions are:
* Given that I did not terminate any backend connection interactively,
why did I get a "terminating connection due to administrator
command” message? Is there any situation where this message is
issued without the administrator being involved?
This error message comes from intervention by a program external to Postgres:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/4564.1284559661@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
So what OS and version are you running?
What does the Java app do besides accessing the database?
Do you have other programs that monitor/control the database?
* What could have caused the shutdown on the 21st of July? Again, I
did not issue a shutdown request for that server, and the machine
didn’t restart.
Is there anything in logs before the above that might give a clue?
The server is running PostgreSQL 9.1.16.
Thank you,
Herouth
