That will terminate all connections. Some (many?) programs (e.g., 
msyslog, which could even be running on another machine) won't 
automatically re-establish the connection.

it will also cause a transaction abort, which could be undesirable.

So, I'd be wary of doing a PosgreSQL restart, just like gdm/kdm/xdm 
ones.

PS: I plan to try fiddling the soname on the libnss modules; let's home 
we can say "Goodbye!" to all this silly restarting business.
