User documentation on signal handling
Hi All,
I just came across this page from 6.4 docs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/6.4/static/signals.htm
Do we have any such doc in our current release? It sure is helpful from user
perspective to understand how Postgres responds to different signals; I just
saw another instance of kill -9 recommendation to kill a backend in the
field.
Best regards,

I don't think there's any table like that, but the Notes for the
postgres reference page
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/app-postgres.html
cover the same territory. I think we generally favor using pg_ctl
over manual signal sending, which may be why the table's gone.
