Be careful with that - there's a page on this in the admin's guide. You
should have a pg_ctl script somewhere though so you can just do:
pg_ctl stop
Also has flags for smart shutdown, options starting PG etc - see man pg_ctl.
You might consider putting a postgres start/stop script in your runlevel
startups so Linux will start/stop it for you automatically.
