Well, it's been in contrib/strat-scripts since 8.0.0 so you should find
it there.

One postmaster, 2 for the stats collector and possibly 1 for the
autovacuum daemon. Plus one for each connection to the database.
People shouldn't use kill -9 on the postmaster, they should use the
normal signals, or just "pg_ctl stop". Or if you use a startup script,
/etc/init.d/postgresql start/stop.
Have a nice day,
