Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're trying to redirect stderr. Why not just use syslog? That's what I use and it works very nicely. Here are the relevant bits from postgresql.conf (that aren't related to log formatting and changed from the default). log_destination = 'syslog' syslog_facility = 'LOCAL1' Just make sure you pipe the syslog facility to postgresql.log, and then you can use logrotate.
