One idea was to have a process reading the log for " received smart 
shutdown request " and then send a

NOTIFY shutdown_channel, 'shutdown in progress'

The question I have not yet answered is how to get the asynchronous 
notification from within plpgsql. I mean this is possible with python or 
Go or Java / JDBC or some other programming language , but cannot seem 
to find anything in plpgsql .
