Shutting down pgsql
Is it safe to shutdown the server by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
? I read the documentation and it is refering to kill the postmaster.pid.

I should hope so. That's what happens when your system shuts down...
Here's what my postgresql script does when passed 'stop':
killproc postmaster
sleep 2
rm -f /var/run/postmaster.pid
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/postgresql
Kills the postmaster, and cleans up the mess.
