You can kill it and postmaster will fire up a new one, which ironically
reads in the data/global/pgstat.stat file if it exists, which on a busy
server get's recreated/overwritten every 500 milliseconds. You must
remove that file and kill the collector before it get's recreated ... so
semicolon is your friend ;-)
