ok

but you can set timeout there. It doesn't help?

You can create some aux postgresql connection with specific app name, and
then you can monitor if this process still live from pg_stat_activity

one process

connect
set application_name to 'xxxx';

second process
if not exists(select * from pg_stat_activity where appname = 'xxxx') then
  exit
end if;
