as the postgres super user, you can shut it down with:

pg_ctl stop

If you are on an RPM based system like redhat, as the super user (i.e.
root) enter the command:

service postgresql stop

Charles,

$PGBIN/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA stop

where $PGBIN is your PG program directory, and $PGDATA is your database
directory. See the documentation, under "Server Programs-->pg_ctl" for more
instructions.
