Well, unless I misunderstand, when a script ends the connection should go away
and I think that means the postgres process supporting it should also go
away. Is it possible your script is not ending or is in some kind of loop?
I asked about persistent connections because I believe they are supposed to
hang around after the script ends and because I noticed the behavior you
mentioned ("extraneous" postgres processes) while experimenting with them.
With regular non-persistent connections I don't see those long-lived
processes.
(Aside from the point of your question, it seems to me persistent are somewhat
useless since you can't close them when you are done with them.)
