Each is stopped by issuing:
postfix -c "$config_directory" stop
or via the postmulti(1) wrapper with Postfix 2.6 or later, which
can stop/start multiple instances via just "postfix start" and
"postfix stop" (no -c arguments). Recent Postfix versions also
support "postfix status" which shows the pid of each instance,
(but non-syslog output is suppressed when not a terminal...)

postmulti -i postfix-first -p start
postmulti -i postfix-first -p status
postmulti -i postfix-first -p stop
postmulti -i postfix-second -p start
postmulti -i postfix-second -p status
postmulti -i postfix-second -p stop
