Hm, I wonder why this documentation isn't recommending "pg_ctl stop"
instead.  runtime.sgml gets it right:

<screen>
$ <userinput>kill -INT `head -1 
/usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`</userinput>
</screen>

but the text in installation.sgml seems much older.

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
