    Hi,

    we have seen repeatedly that users can be confused about why PostgreSQL
    is not shutting down even though they requested it. Usually, this is
    because `log_checkpoints' is not enabled and the final checkpoint is
    being written, delaying shutdown. As no message besides "shutting down"
    is written to the server log in this case, we even had users believing
    the server was hanging and pondering killing it manually.


Wouldn't a better place to write this message be the terminal from which "pg_ctl 
stop" was invoked, rather than the server log file?

Or do both. I suspect elog( INFO, ... ) might do that.
