You can also get pid information from the system view pg_stat_activity, which also tells you who your killing and what database they're connected to.

You can kill the procs (connections) using kill -9 PID

For example,

ps aux | grep post

gives you a list of the postgres processes (all the active connections, and main postmaster). Here you can see the IP of the manchines connected from.
Therefore, its easy to create an shell script for killing the connection of a client machine.


Thanks for that, however that's quite heavy handed in that it will stop
the postgres instance.


Is there any way to close connections to a database without stopping
postgres itself?
E.G I have three databases, A,B and C, and only want to close C.

Thanks

pg_ctl stop [-W] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE]

e.g.
pg_ctl stop -D /data/postgres/gex_runtime -m fast

will shut down all connections and stop the postgres instance:
Shutdown modes are:
smart quit after all clients have disconnected
fast quit directly, with proper shutdown
immediate quit without complete shutdown; will lead to recovery on restart

Hello,
   How do I force postmaster to terminate active connections on other
databases?

Thanks
