     In <option>stop</option> mode, the server that is running in
     the specified data directory is shut down.  Three different
     shutdown methods can be selected with the <option>-m</option>
!    option.  <quote>Smart</quote> mode (the default) waits for all active
     clients to disconnect and any online backup to finish.
     If the server is in hot standby, recovery and streaming replication
     will be terminated once all clients have disconnected.
!    <quote>Fast</quote> mode does not wait for clients to disconnect and
     will terminate an online backup in progress.  All active transactions are
     rolled back and clients are forcibly disconnected, then the
     server is shut down.  <quote>Immediate</quote> mode will abort
