I haven't really been folliowing this thread. What exactly is it you
want to accomplish (maybe there is a different way to fix it on win32)?
Kill a process along with all it's subprocesses?
Right. The problem (as seen on Unix) is that if the recovery subprocess
is waiting for a recovery_command script to complete, it doesn't react
to SIGQUIT (because system() ignores SIGQUIT) and the script doesn't
react either (because it never gets the signal at all). We'd like
"pg_ctl stop -m immediate" to abort the script and then have the
recovery process fail, allowing restart later. More generally, it
seems like any time a backend is executing system(), the called script
ought to be subject to SIGINT or SIGQUIT signals sent to the backend
by the postmaster.
