start_daemon doesn't provide for switching to a non-root userid according to that spec, so it seems like *it's* missing a crucial detail. The functions seem woefully underspecified anyway, eg it's unclear if killproc is supposed to wait to see whether the daemon terminates. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
