To make it work reliably, you'd need to be sure that a process can't ERROR or FATAL after getting signaled and before doing whatever the associated work is (or that if it does, it will first pass on the signal). Since that seems impossible, I'm not sure I see the point of trying to do anything at all. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
