"trap" only sets the shell's response to signals, not that of programs
started by the shell.  You're going at this entirely the wrong way:
what you need is to make sure the postmaster is dissociated from your
terminal so it doesn't get signals from the keyboard in the first place.
I believe what you need to add is a "-l logfile" option to the pg_ctl
call so that the postmaster's stdout gets disconnected from the
terminal.
