pg_ctl --help lists the various SIGNALNAME options to use with "pg_ctk kill"...

Allowed signal names for kill:
HUP INT QUIT ABRT TERM USR1 USR2

I can't find a description of what each does. I'd like to abort just the procpid I enter, but using ABRT has a tendancy to kill lots of other stuff too.

Thanks for any insights !
