I'd like to stop autovac by changing the conf file then sending the
server a HUP

This "appears" to work, the logs show autovac terminated by
administrative command. Then a few minutes later I see a vacuum
process spawned.

Is it possible that there are timers that aren't being properly
terminated here ?
