Postmaster won't shut down

I've got a 2 hour index build that has been running for 9 hours. With 'ps
-efl' I see that there is a VACUUM ANALYZE running that started 24 hours ago
and my index build is 'wating'. I sent a SIGINT to postmaster and it kicked
all sessions out, but the VACUUM is still running so postmaster won't shut
down.

How do I safely kill this thing so I can get restart postmaster and my index
build?

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)
