If I put that command in a simple bash shell script, I *believe* it will not work. The signal will go to bash and bash will not pass it along to the children. I could trap the signal and pass it along myself... but, $! gives the pid for the last process in the pipe (rotatelogs). That is not what I need to signal. I need the signal passed to postgres. And, in fact, it would be nice if the signal did NOT pass to rotatelogs. I'd like for it to stop when its input closes and not before then. If the latter, then that's not a good way to do it.

There's something missing from what you're asking here; specifically, what signal are you talking about? Are you actually trying to pass output from postgres to rotatelogs, or just have the two die cleanly together? Anyone have any suggestions of how to do this?
