Обсуждение: SIGNALNAME in "pg_ctl kill"

If you are trying to kill one specific connection/backend, I'd
recommend using the pg_terminate_backend(pid_goes_here) function.

It's a little hard to find, but what various signals do to the back

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/app-postgres.html

I suspect the line you want is, "To cancel a running query, send the
SIGINT signal to the process running that command."
