Re: Shutting down postgresql

Troy,
    Something that caught me up at first is that PostgreSQL won't shut down
until all it's backends close, which means that if you have an application
connected that uses pooled or cached connections you will probably have to
shut it down first.

I usually use "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop".
