Yeah, something like that. I also wonder if you don't need to think a bit harder about the ordering of the flag checks, in particular it seems like servicing reload_request before child_exit might be a good idea (remembering that child_exit might cause launching of new children, so we want to be up to speed on relevant settings). regards, tom lane
