#5 is output when the DBA shuts down the replication standby server.
#6 is output when the DBA shuts down the server if he is using any custom
background worker.
These messages are always output. What I'm seeing as a problem is that
FATAL messages are output in a normal situation, which worries the DBA, and
those messages don't help the DBA with anything. They merely worry the DBA.
