The kill -2 will definitely work to shut the connectiond down
cleanly.  Actually, I should put that more precisely: you should send
SIGINT.  I don't know of any systems where that's not 2, but I
suppose it's logically possible.

As for the reconnection, it'll depend entirely on what your pool does
when its connections are closed.  You'll have to test it.
