Hi,

To kill the process and session you can do like follows:

(1) Edit " pg_hba.conf " file which is in your data directory and at the
bottom of the file add a line as follows:

host all all <client IP address/32> reject

(2)And reload the database.

pg_ctl –D <your data directory path> reload

(3)After that run the following command:

$ pg_ctl -D <your data directory path> kill TERM <procpid>

Thanks & Regards,
Raghu
