So you just want to stop the db under heavy load? I'm not sure what
you're asking here. PostgreSQL is designed around a transactional
model, it can't just be shut off at your convenience.
OTOH you might want to look at how you're using it and what kind of
hardware you're using and if you need to upgrade it.
