FWIW, this certainly used to work. So we've either broken this recently,

Maybe a quick check if it still works on non-Vista versions would be
in order, to eliminate one or the other of those theories.

                        

Well, I can tell you that it is getting an exit code of 1, which is why the postmaster isn't restarting.

That raises two questions in my mind. First, is that the behaviour we expect when we kill the backend this way? And second, why is it still showing up in the output of pg_stat_activity?

Meanwhile, I guess I can try to create a loadable function that will crash a backend badly so I can try to reproduce my client's problem.

cheers
