AFAICT, SIGTERM was always handled by postmaster. > I'd prefer TERM over INT: smart shutdown vs. fast shutdown The "problem" with smart shutdown is it waits for all clients to disconnect before shutting down. So, Windows will eventually just kill postmaster during machine shut down if at least one client is still connected. This is why I recommended using SIGINT in my README. IMO, a fast shutdown is better than the possibility of an aborted smart shutdown. Of course, a DBA if free to configure PostgreSQL however they see fit.
