How to do it…

  1. The basic command to perform an emergency stop on the server is the following:
pg_ctl -D datadir stop -m immediate
  1. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can also use:
pg_ctlcluster 10 main stop -m immediate

As mentioned in the previous recipe, this is just a wrapper around pg_ctl. From this example, we can see that it can pass through the -m immediate option.

In the previous recipe, we have seen examples where the systemctl command was used to stop a server safely; however, that command cannot be used to perform an emergency stop.
